An extensive remake of Wild Guns, a classical action game that was initially released in 1994 for SNES. It was developed by Natsume in cooperation with the creators of the original. The game’s plot combines elements of western with science fiction and cyberpunk and tells the story of two protagonists: a girl named Annie, who wishes to take revenge on the Kid’s gang, and a bounty hunter, Clint, helping her.
Wild Guns: Reloaded for SWITCH, PC and PS4 is an extensive remake of 1994’s Wild Guns for Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was developed by Natsume, a Japanese studio known for various titles, including Omega Five, Godzilla, and Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories. Natsume Atari as well as the developers of the original were also involved in the development.
In the game, we follow two protagonists: Annie, who wishes to take revenge on the Kid’s gang, and a bounty hunter, Clint, that helps her. Wild Guns: Reloaded combines several seemingly incompatible genres. On the one hand, it is a typical western, but on the other, it features science fiction and steampunk elements.
The gameplay in Wild Guns: Reloaded for SWITCH, PC and PS4 combines the ordinary rail crosshair with elements of third-person shooters. It means that we control the characters by running, rolling, jumping etc. and simultaneously trying to aim at enemies in the back of the level. The formula of the classic Wild Guns was slightly enhanced — instead of two heroes, we have four, and all of them have their unique weapons. Moreover, we can play in a co-op mode for up to four players. All of the above is complemented by new arenas (the ones from the original are also available) as well as previously unknown bosses and special weaponry.

Game Ratings for Wild Guns: Reloaded Video Game.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 6 / 10 by Tyler Treese
Wild Guns: Reloaded is a decent way to experience the SNES classic, but it’s brought down by some rather odd design choices. The new characters are difficult to use and are probably best left for die-hard players, leaving newcomers to feel left out. No additions have been made from a design standpoint to make the game more accessible, and it’s too difficult for its own good. Check it out if you’re already a fan, but this is a severely disappointing package otherwise.
TechRaptor: 7.5 / 10 by Reagan Cox
Wild Guns: Reloaded takes everything fun about the original and cranks it up to eleven, but the value proposition might be too much for some.
Nintendo Insider: 8 / 10 by Ryan Janes
Wild Guns Reloaded is among one of the best examples of bringing an older title over to a newer system. While it would have been one thing to do a simple port job of this SNES cult-classic, the wealth of fresh new content adds another layer to this already excellent shooting gallery experience. Steeper price aside, this is a perfect fit for Switch offering an action-packed, fun time on your own or with friends.
