Wanted Dead or Alive

Game review

Wanted Dead or Alive is also known as Wanted Guns. This game is an action-adventure that combines elements of the classic Western genre with traditional third-person shooting gameplay. Set in the late 19th century, Wanted Guns follows the story of Reverend Devlin, a former priest turned bounty hunter with a troubled past. The narrative, rich with classic Western motifs, takes players on a journey through various landscapes reminiscent of the American frontier, including dusty towns, desolate deserts, and rugged canyons.

Gameplay in Wanted Guns is a mix of shooting and exploration. Players control Devlin in a third-person perspective, navigating through different levels and engaging in gunfights with various outlaws and bandits. The game features a range of period-appropriate firearms, such as revolvers and shotguns, which players can use to take down enemies. In addition to shooting, some levels require horseback riding, adding an authentic Western experience to the gameplay.

One of the unique aspects of Wanted Guns is its incorporation of puzzle-solving elements. Throughout the game, players encounter various challenges that require more than just quick reflexes and accurate shooting. These puzzles often involve finding items, unlocking doors, or figuring out how to advance to the next area, adding depth to the gameplay.

While Wanted Guns follows many conventions of the action-adventure genre, its Western theme and blend of shooting and puzzle-solving gameplay make it a distinctive and enjoyable title. The game’s story, setting, and gameplay offer a compelling experience for fans of the Western genre and those looking for an action-packed adventure in the style of classic Westerns.
