Nintendo Switch is enjoying a growing number of turn-based tactical games, and Hard West is another welcome addition to that strategic throng. With a port that runs super smooth on Switch – both in handheld and docked modes – and a set of bite-sized scenarios to explore, its mix of tactical combat and choice-driven encounters makes for one of the console's more intriguing offerings. While its combat design isn't perfect and the enemy AI could be better, Hard West’s supernatural-tinged Wild West shtick offers a great way to get into the XCOM formula without relying on too many random factors. And with the Scars of Freedom expansion pack included as standard, there are plenty of ways to exercise your itchy trigger finger on the go.

Hard West is an XCOM-style Strategy-RPG that mixes in Choose-Your-Own Adventure mechanics, set in a darker, more supernatural version of the Wild West. It is not without a few rough edges, but on the whole I believe this is a delightfully inventive take on the genre, well worth a look.
