Dead Man's Hand
About the Game
The Mexican gunslinger El Tejon once joined the dreaded Nine gang, hoping to become rich and famous. However, as he became disillusioned with the gang's murderous ways and distanced himself from it, he turned into a liability to the criminals. The gang's leader shot him and left him for dead; barely surviving, El Tejon was imprisoned by the authorities. In the prison, he meets a member of a revolutionary movement, and becomes determined to regain his freedom and exact revenge upon those who betrayed him.
Story & Setting
The protagonist is armed with a fairly standard arsenal, which includes pistols, rifles, shotguns, TNT, bombs, etc. The game rewards players for precise shooting and creative ways of killing enemies (e.g. by shooting a rock that drops on them): as players practices these activities, the protagonist's "trick meter" is being gradually refilled. Between levels players can compete in poker to increase the protagonist's health and ammunition.
Gameplay & Core Systems
A full trick meter allows secondary shooting mode, unique for each weapon.
