### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-03-28, version 1.03*

I never write reviews, but I felt the need to say that this game could be much more than what it currently is. It has captivating artwork/visuals, simple gameplay mechanics, a lovable pet, and addicting gameplay. This has potential to be its own fictional universe/ story world. I would easily pay money for a roguelike, slay-the-spire type game with Westurn’s look, feel, and gameplay loop. Add damage numbers, health bars, passive items to boost your runs and you have a top charts roguelike that I wouldn’t hesitate to pay for. Truly a one of a kind game in itself and I hope the devs take this style further.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2025-10-20, version 1.03*

*2025-04-12, version 1.03*

If rock paper scissor was a gun game. This would be it.

### 5/5 — Games fun but issue with one emeny

*2024-09-27, version 1.03*

The game is fun and it is a good way to pass time if you are bored and have nothing to do it can help with that most enemies are fair and balanced the two changes I would do is swap the aliens and outlaws the aliens because the outlaws are harder then the alien but besides that there is one emeny in the currently last zone of the game it is the 2nd one and it’s healing abilty is so anooying and it blocks I can’t beat it without a lot of luck making that emeny unfun but the game itself is

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2024-09-22, version 1.03*

I love this game. I’ve always liked games that make me use my smarts. The enemies are certain classes causing them to have a fault in there technique. Some are genuinely stronger than you causing you to need to outsmart them

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2023-03-12, version 1.03*

This plays like an old arcade game

### 5/5 — Why is this is such a good

*2023-02-20, version 1.03*

Well, for starters, the way the game is laid out is really cool Digitaria is fun and never makes you bored except when you’re waiting for muscles which isn’t that long so that is why I said it is not a bad game.

### 5/5 — amazing find!

*2022-09-20, version 1.03*

amazing art, amazing direction, and simple but nuanced gameplay. worth your time, and i’m excited to see what this studio holds for us in the future!

### 5/5 — Cowboys and less ads

*2022-09-19, version 1.03*

It has cowboys guns and less ads than other games and it’s free for the experience which is amazing.

### 5/5 — Great game, a few suggestion for improvement

*2022-09-07, version 1.03*

Yeah great game with creative gameplay, i enjoy both pve and pvp game. It feel so good to outsmart your opponent but I also have problem with the power-up in pvp, it feel a bit p2w. Another suggestion is that in pvp, you can put at least 1 power as free while all other need to be bought with either in-game or real money. Just a personal suggestiom
