Gameplay

A Twisted Path To Renown is a first-person game featuring both cooperation or competition with other players, as well as with the local fauna. We can find a rich arsenal of historical weapons in the game, including revolvers, shotguns, rifles and bows. We use their striking power during shootouts and when hunting for wild animals.

During the game we take care of the basic needs of our alter ego, ensuring access to water, food, medical supplies, or rest. We also choose the appearance and weapons of our character, and also reach for the help of mercenaries. We can explore the world, avoiding or engaging in conflicts with bandits, the military, or indigenous inhabitants.

In addition to fighting in A Twisted Path To Renown we undertake numerous pacifist activities, including mining, farming or producing items (including food and weapons). Goods collected in this way come in handy when trading with NPCs or other players. All our actions affect the reputation of our character and the virtual economy.

Realism

Game-Labs studio attempted to faithfully reproduce the times of the Wild West, which is reflected in the available locations, collected items and eaten meals. This also applies to the appearance and sounds produced by the firearms and how they operate. In A Twisted Path To Renown we can experience things like clouds of smoke appearing after each shot, effectively making aiming difficult.
