The supernatural Wild West tactics game Hard West 2 drops to under $6 for the first time on Steam, offering an 80% discount until February 19 alongside critical praise for its unique combat systems.
Polish developer Ice Code Games' tactical RPG Hard West 2 has reached its lowest price since launch, currently discounted by 80% on Steam through February 19. The sale reduces the standard $29.99 price to $5.99, marking the first time the game has dipped below $6 according to SteamDB tracking data.
Set in an occult-infused Wild West universe, players command a gang of supernatural outlaws pursuing the mythical Ghost Train - a soul-devouring locomotive leaving destruction across the frontier. Characters like gunslinger Gin Carter and undead marksman Old Man Bill each possess unique supernatural abilities that combine strategically during turn-based combat sequences.
The game distinguishes itself through its Bravado system, which resets action points after each successful kill. This mechanic rewards aggressive tactical play where consecutive eliminations create momentum chains, though missteps carry severe consequences. German publication PC Games scored it 7/10, praising the Bravado system's innovation while noting occasional balancing issues.
Steam user reviews remain Strongly Positive with 81% approval from nearly 3,000 ratings, aligning closely with Metacritic's 77 Metascore and 7.3 User Score. The tactical depth draws favorable comparisons to XCOM 2, though Hard West 2 carves its own identity through thematic worldbuilding and risk-reward mechanics.
Potential buyers should note the game carries an Unsupported status on Steam Deck according to Valve's compatibility list. The discount period concludes February 19 at 10 AM PST / 6 PM CET. As with all time-limited digital store promotions, availability and pricing remain subject to change without notice.
