So this has been quietly released a couple of weeks ago. Anyone tried it yet? Seems like a TES-like in a Weird West setting.
Going by Steam reviews, the pros include a decent spell arsenal and lots of puzzles. The cons, lack of weapon and enemy variety. The dev seems to be committed to releasing patches with new content though, so that might get improved later on.

ABOUT THIS GAME

Wild West and Wizards is an open world RPG set in a re-imagined new frontier about exploration, adventure, and loot. We wanted to create a Wild West setting that hadn't been done before.

In Wild West and Wizards you choose a character class with a unique talent tree, level up, and explore the world at your own pace. Pick a direction and head out into the great unknown with over two hundred points of interests, a main story, lore, side quests, secrets, and replayable end game content. Face off against outlaws, go on epic quests, solve puzzles, discover towns, earn new loot and abilities, and uncover mysterious places scattered across the Wild West.

yes i have it

played around 8 hours got up to level 6 gunslinger

relaxing game

basic combat, levelling up abilities etc

loot barrells and whatnot respawn

the economy was broken early on, there is literally nothing else to buy and upgrade at the stage i am at; shit to sell is everywhere

got wrecked by a high level bandit camp just before so the difficulty is spiking nicely

repeaters are OP; they fire so fast it puts the revolver and shotgun to shame and easy to upgrade as well in the blacksmith

caves have a definite morrowind vibe about them

you can respec your ability tree at any time but cant change classes


good game, would recommend for a simple, relaxing change of pace

Kinda funny how the reticle cursor is still visible in this screen and is aimed at the char's groin. Certainly explains the facial expression.
