— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“Still in early access, but you can dual wield rocket launchers and use them to blow up a wild west saloon so... who gives a **** if it's in early access still. Buy it, blow things up, it's fun!”
— a player, Steam review · 47 hrs played“Rip to this game since the creator rejected New Blood the game has been significantly worse, especially the soundtrack, the new one is trash compared to the one made by Hunter J. Pierce, just cant play the game anymore knowing how good it was vs now :(”
