Top 5 Western Shooter Games You Should Try Before Red Dead Redemption 2 Comes Out

Rush into the wild west and shoot those who stand in your way with revolvers, I guess Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to fulfill all gamers’ cowboy dream. But the game won’t release until 26th of October, why not play some other western games to make your next few weeks more easier? Here is a list of top 5 Western games you can try.

5 – Call of Juarez: Gunslinger(2013)

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is the forth game of the Call of Juarez series published by Ubisoft and is available on Steam, PS3 and Xbox 360. Using the classic cinema trope of the unreliable narrator, you play as bounty hunter Silas Greaves as he regales patrons about his murderous sprees in the Old West, with the environment and arcade gameplay morphing as he exaggerates or is corrected by those listening to his tales.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is one of the few cowboy games that really nail the art of the duel, with whipping out your pistol slowing time to a halt and invoking multiple foes as you try to balance focus and rush to defeat any outlaws who dare to rise to the challenge.

4 – Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood(2009)

Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood is the second game of Call of Juarez series, a first-person shooter Western video game developed by Techland. The game focuses on the story McCall brothers; Ray, Thomas and the younger brother William. Beginning towards the end of the American Civil War in August 1864, they abandon their post to try to save their family home. When the war is over Ray and Thomas turns into outlaws hunting treasures and the younger brother William is a priest trying to convince his brothers to go back home.

Bound in Blood is the kind of western shooter that make players don’t want to stop and always interested to see how the story goes.

1 – Outlaws(1997)

Outlaws is an old western first person shooter game, it’s one of those games few people have heard of it and even lesser have played it. It was made by Lucas Art in 1997 when people never heard of a western fps, its one of the most unique game of that era.

However it will be a problem to get it running nowadays, I have to emulate Window XP to make it able to install, and a couple of patch to make it run properly. If you are a big fan of this kind of game and able to make it running, go try it then.
