❤ Controlling a Party of Migrant Travelers

Players control a group of three migrants traveling west along a wagon trail, using their characters' firearms to shoot at a variety of threats. The game features responsive controls, allowing players to move their wagon left and right while their character shoots in the direction the wagon is facing.

❤ Randomly Generated Scenarios

One of the key draws of the gameplay is the semi-random sequencing of short scenes and events. Each playthrough presents new challenges, such as jumping over rivers, battling wild animals, and even fighting space-faring enemies. This randomness contributes to the game's high replayability, as players never know what they will encounter on any given run.

❤ Customizable Wagons and Characters

As players progress, they can unlock new wagons with different attributes, such as speed, firepower, and party health. This allows for experimentation with various playstyles and strategies. Players can also customize the names and appearances of their three migrant characters, adding a personal touch to their journey.

❤ Unforgiving Difficulty and Permadeath

The game is known for its challenging and unforgiving nature. There are no checkpoints or save points, and when a party member dies, they remain dead. This "permadeath" mechanic adds tension and risk, as players must carefully navigate each scene to ensure the survival of their entire party.

❤ Player Appreciation for Humor and Surprises

Players praise the game's humor, randomness, and retro-inspired visuals and audio. Many reviewers express delight in the game's ability to surprise and entertain, with each playthrough offering new and often absurd scenarios. The ability to name and customize their party members is also a frequently cited source of enjoyment, as players enjoy watching their friends and loved ones meet hilarious and gruesome fates.
