Guncho is a Western-themed puzzle roguelike available on iOS, Android, and Steam, where you play as a cowboy navigating a hex grid, making each move count as enemies react in turn. The goal is simple: outmaneuver and eliminate your foes, making every action a strategic decision.
The game features a hexagonal grid with turn-based mechanics, where completing levels grants new abilities or weapon modifications. The rotating bullet chamber adds another layer of strategy, requiring careful management of both positioning and ammunition. The variety of enemies demands different approaches, making each encounter unique.
Guncho’s visuals capture the Western vibe with blocky graphics, and the soundtrack adds to the ambiance. The controls are straightforward, making navigation easy.
One of Guncho's strengths is its simplicity, making it easy to pick up and play. The roguelike elements add depth and replayability, with a variety of enemies ensuring no two encounters are the same. The free-to-play model is non-intrusive, with ads only appearing if you choose to replay a level, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay.
However, the sequence of enemy actions can be unclear, leading to unexpected deaths, and players might occasionally find themselves in unwinnable situations. Despite these issues, Guncho demonstrates that a game doesn’t need to be complex to be fun and engaging. Its blend of strategy, turn-based mechanics, and Western charm offers a refreshing take on the puzzle roguelike genre. For a free game with an option to remove ads and access an extreme mode for $4.99, Guncho is worth a try for both casual players and puzzle enthusiasts alike.
