If Hip Hop and the Wild West had a love child, they would be the proud parents of Luckslinger. The game requires a bounty of skill in order to overcome its challenges. This punishing difficulty may be less appealing to some. However, when a level is finally beaten, a sense of joy and accomplishment will pulse through your arteries like the rhythmic beats laying the backdrop of the game. Luckslinger is not one to sleep on.
PP: Luckslinger is retro and it makes no bones about it. It's a fun shooter/platformer that anybody over the age of 40 will feel instantly comfortable with, while young guns may need a bit of time to see the appeal. The luck mechanic doesn't have that much impact and the game could have gotten by without it.
"The Netherlands-based indie games publisher and game developer 2Awesome Studio are today very proud and excited to announce that their spaghetti western-themed action/adventure "Lucksligner" is coming to the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch this April (2021)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

The luck elements don’t always alter the course of level progression in a meaningful way, and the platforming and adventure elements can feel a bit disconnected from each other, but still the whole hip-hop presentation of Luckslinger manages to shine, thanks to the soundtrack."
