8 itemsAbout the Game
A perfect mix of card game, rogue-lite, and pure wild west mayhem. Explore an ever-changing map, collect interesting cards, and battle enemies.

Explore and Collect
Explore the Frontier and add powerful cards - bullets - to your collection. Each one equipped with its own unique effect.

Build
Each bullet has an individual effect, used to create powerful synergies. Use them to build your deck and to become an Outlaw Legend!

Load and shoot to kill!
Load your cards into the revolver and use the effects to your advantage, while also utilizing the limited amount of chambers and the rotations of the revolver. Then, shoot the enemies and send them 6 feet deep! But watch out, he won't just stand there letting you shoot him down so easily…
