Never has a game developer been so well named. See, Surprise Attack Games have delivered a quick fire duelling title to Xbox One, and should you like a bit of button mashing, will probably find that Western Press is the most historically accurate frontier duelling game available today. I did say probably!
Available right now for £6.39 from the Microsoft Store, Western Press on Xbox One will test your reaction and how well you know your way around a standard controller. Boiling down to battering out a random string of button presses before your opponent, this dueller is a fast and frantic multiple title that allows both the local and online worlds to compete.
Tournaments are available and due to the speed of Western Press, will be over in mere minutes, while the draw of the pixelated visuals, unlockable characters and bragging rights over your fellow competitors will possibly prove too much to ignore, seeing you head back in for more button mashing on a regular basis.
If you agree, then for the £6.39 price it may just be worth giving Western Press a little shot. Let us know if you reckon it’s worth a look by posting in the comments below. If the previous Steam reception is anything to go by, then it seems button mashing still has a place in the gaming world.
Game Description:
Based on a true story, Western Press is the most historically accurate frontier dueling game available for Xbox One. Probably. Up to 16 players (or bots) compete in a tournament of 1v1 sprints to press a random string of ten buttons the fastest. FEATURES No Time to Explain Learning to play is incredibly simple: Buttons go top to bottom, do them fast. A duel takes seconds, and a 16 player tournament takes minutes. So just how good is your guest list’s controller knowledge, and just how fast are their reactions? Submit your answer in ten buttons or less. (Not less, you’ll lose. Do ten.) Online and Local Tournaments for Humans and Machines Alike Hold custom tournaments for from two to 16 competitors with any mix of local players, online players and bots. The tournament system works out all the match-ups for you, so you get to just sit back and relax. Until it’s your turn. Then stop relaxing because it’s time for extreme and relentless stress. A Test of Character Create a profile and play through the Skill Tester to earn your rank, while simultaneously unlocking some of Western Press’ wild bunch. You start with four playable characters, but you’ll have to earn the other 12 by playing the game. Is there anyone fast enough to unlock Wyatt Hurt? Stroll Down Memory Lane Fancy yourself more intellect than athlete? Try Memory Mode, where players must memorise and repeat an ever increasing string of buttons. But make more mistakes than your opponent, and you eat lead.
