I was somewhat a fan of the original Westward. It was just ok in my book and followed the course of games like Alice Greenfingers and Build-a-Lot. But that was as far as it went, nothing new, nothing to write home about.
So when I saw Westward 2 I thought "here we go again." But I gave it a spin on the test track anyway and I am glad I did. I actually liked this one. I think what put me over the top was the Mad Russian!
The premise is easy, build new settlements in the wild west. That would be enough if it was just to be an Alice clone. But the creators of this game threw in a couple of wild cards, the Copperhead Gang and the Mad Russian. I don't want to give too much away but suffice it to say that you need to bring the outlaw gang to justice and the Mad Russian, well, I'll let you find out all about him on your own!
Westward H0!
