Gameplay
Six-Guns is a wild-west styled, open-world, action adventure mobile game. The game allows the player to roam about on foot or by horse and complete missions as a man named Buck Crosshaw across two game maps, Arizona (with deserts and mesas) and Oregon (containing forests and mountains). An in-game store and currency system allow for upgradable clothing items, weapons, and horses, with optional microtransactions available for additional or premium credits. As missions are completed, the player is rewarded with coins and experience points, unlocking access to higher tier items from the store. The main storyline and campaign follows Crosshaw's discoveries of the happenings and fate of his lost wife, while a multiplayer mode allows for online team deathmatches and capture the flag.
On the Windows 8 version, the game had support for touch controls, keyboard and mouse, and a gaming controller.[4] The game could also cloud save to a linked account, such as Game Center on iOS or Xbox Live on Windows 8.
Reception
Six-Guns received mixed reviews. Many critics praised the graphics and audio of the game, but felt that the controls were poor on touchscreen devices.[5][6]
