Anyone else playing Bang! Howdy?

[Xan]

I found Bang! Howdy and I was wondering if anyone else is playing this game. It’s in open Beta right now and everything seems to work fine. It’s a western themed multiplayer online tactical strategy game. More info on the game can be found here

How much does it cost?

Bang! Howdy™ is downloadable for free over the Internet and free to play with no signup or recurring subscription fee. Players can buy Big Shot units, game items and train tickets to new towns using our in-game microcurrency, but you don’t gotta buy nothin’ if ya don’t want. You decide if and when ta spend any of yer hard-earned cash.

From what I can gather you can get the microcurrency by winning games against other players. However I am not completely sure if that is the case (or at least always will be the case. The game servers seem to be down at the moment so if you download it and can’t log on that’s probably why.

Also it runs in Wiindows, OSX, and Linux. System requirements can be found here

So far it seems like a pretty fun game from what I played yesterday. I still need to get the hang of it because I’m not really that good at this type of game and I’m still figuring everything out.

I started to a couple of days ago, but then I started it up today and it patched itself. And for whatever reason, the patched version no longer works on my machine (one of them newfangled Intel macs). I guess it’s time to figure out how to send feedback…
