About this game
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger puts you on the trail of notorious outlaws through a bounty hunter's Western tale. Aim and fire from a first-person perspective, personalize your gunfighter's skills and chain attacks into combos as you follow the campaign's linear route. Encounters include figures such as Billy the Kid and Jesse James. The storytelling also reaches into the action: the narrator revises his recollections, and the environment changes with those corrections. Thick outlines and a comic-like visual treatment accompany this shifting account of the West. On Nintendo Switch, motion controls and HD Rumble add platform-specific ways to interact with the gunfights. This is a single-player adventure built around following the tale and developing your shooting approach.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A focused Western shooter for players who enjoy gunfights shaped by an unreliable storyteller.
The narrator's corrections can make following the story part of watching the battlefield change. Skill customization and combos give players interested in gunplay a way to shape their approach within a deliberately linear campaign.
Strengths
- Changes to the environment give the narrator's revisions a role beyond dialogue.
- Skills and combos offer a practical focus for players who enjoy developing their shooting style.
Weaknesses
- The linear route may feel restrictive to players who mainly want to choose where to explore.
Who it is for: Solo players who like Western storytelling, first-person gunfights and skill customization along a directed campaign.
Play notes: The Nintendo Switch edition is a single-player game.
