About the Game

El Bandito is an on-rails western shooter set in a vibrant, cartoonish universe filled with quirky characters and intense shootouts. Engage in fast-paced, action-packed gameplay with immersive, rhythm-driven mechanics. Play in single player story mode or with up to 4 players as local competition in party mode on same headset.

Explore a variety of western environments from saloons and dusty towns to haunted marshlands, forests and dangerous canyons on 3 difficulty levels. Highest scores are tracked on global leaderboards.

Mechanics: each encounter is scored based on your gun-swinging speed, accuracy and timing: perfect headshots, consecutive combos, quick reloads, and dodging enemy fire all contribute to a higher score in your rhythm-perfect performance. Look out for collectables, interactable objects and explosives! Features include haptic feedback, optional aim assistance, gesture controlled or automatic reloading. Supports standing and seated experiences.

Action-Packed VR Combat: You’ll be constantly on the move on foot, horseback, canoe, raft or even in a mine cart, dodging, shooting, and performing quick reloads in sync with dynamic soundtracks

Story mode: become notorious as you level up completing challenges, unlocking new levels, weapons, characters and various game modifiers ultimately facing tougher enemies across various environments

Party mode: play with friends locally with everything unlocked competing for the highest score
