Colt Canyon is an excellent roguelike with razor-sharp gameplay that’s incredibly addictive. The rhythmic action is comparable to titles like Hotline Miami, and there’s a constant temptation to have ‘just one more go’. Some may not be too keen on the heavily-pixelated graphics, but it’s the gameplay that truly shines through here, and once you’ve conquered the steep difficulty curve you’ll find this to be a fine addition to the Switch’s growing selection of roguelikes.
Colt Canyon offers an interesting take on the western genre which works extremely well as a roguelike adventure. Pixel art, twin-stick shooting, and a well-crafted soundtrack combine effortlessly, it’s just a shame that it is as challenging as it is.
Colt Canyon is a fine half-twin-stick shooter/half-rogue-lite experience, varied enough to make us constantly switch between characters, weapons and approaches, trying to rescue a kidnapped partner in a pixel-based West Coast. While being quite short and sometimes more difficult to read, it still will please fans of both genres.
Casting cinematic realism aside, this pixellated 2D non-stop shooting
fest is not for those who can't take on a challenge but players who like
to be pushed to the edge will be duly rewarded by its fast-paced,
exhilarating gameplay. Colt Canyon would be even more rewarding and
enjoyable if its experience lasted longer but even if it's rather short,
there's enough here to satisfy some wild west-themed appetite, whether
solo or co-op.
