| 9 / 10 | claes | One of the best looking RPG you can get. Art and layout have a western "feel" to it. Quite rules heavy but it is possible to pick-and-choose the rules to use. Several rules a very similar to a Swedish western RPG from the 1980s (called Western and published by Lancelot Games, nowadays published by Ravspel). |
| 8 / 10 | walkerp | A beautiful book and a solidly designed game. It's crunchy, but if you dive into the crunch, you will be rewarded. What makes it stand out is the emphasis on career for character development, which drives a campaign into rich, western territory. |
