The Best of the Worst

Johnny is going to face off against some of the most wanted men in the entire West. These guys are as tough as they are mean, and they're probably twice as mean as they are tough. Today we have a first look at their significantly less tough henchmen.

Here's the latest gameplay video of Johnny and these new henchmen in action:


So let's get to know these boys a little better!

Joe Bandit
Don't underestimate Joe. Remember, it doesn't matter who pulls the trigger; bullets hurt. Joe keeps a safe distance from his target and isn't very ambitious. He tends to remain stationary, but hes got a good rate of fire, and will dodge incoming bullets when necessary. He complements his other bandit buddies very well, and fighting more than one is guaranteed to be interesting.

Dancin' Dick
Some fellas don't believe in personal space, even during a gunfight. Dick is the adventurous type, and he's not afraid to walk around Johnny to get past his cover. Most gunmen would say it's suicide to do such a thing, but Dick is the best bullet dodger there is. Always on the move, Dick can make short, quick hops very frequently, making trick shots very difficult to pull off. So next time you think you're safe behind cover, make sure to keep an eye on the boy in blue.

Big Tex
They broke the mold when they made Tex. Or maybe they just increased the sprite size by 20%. Either way, he's a big man with a big gun, and that means a moderate amount of trouble for Johnny. A big man is a big target, and when Tex tries to dodge a bullet, he makes a slow, heroic leap. And then he's exhausted for a while. Easy to exploit with a trick shot, Tex on his own isn't all too intimidating. It's his shotgun that makes him exceptional. Shooting three bullets in a spread, Johnny has to dodge between bullets and pay close attention to the bullet pattern. That can be difficult when you've got other bandits closing in on you. Fortunately his gun takes a long time to reload, and has a very distinct sound. Just stay focused, and you can make short work of Big Tex.

Death's Head Ed
Fighting fair is for boxing matches, not gunfights, and nobody knows that better than Eddy. Eddy is a professional bushwhacker. He's got low health, and he isn't as agile as the rest, but he has a philosophy: you don't have to dodge bullets if your opponent can't shoot bullets. And they can't shoot if they're dead. He has exchanged mobility for increased firepower, shooting two pistols with deadly precision. His high rate of fire will cut down Johnny in no time at all. Ed usually stays in hiding until Johnny gets close enough, then he leaps out of his cover and unleashes a bullet hell. If it looks like someone could hide behind it, in it, or even under it, keep an eye out for Ed.
