Now The Lone Ranger has been around for 80 years. First made an appearance on radio in 1933, then in comics and book, and then to T.V.
He has always reminded people that the good guys always save the damsel in distress, saves the day, and always wins over evil.
This is a role-playing, western game which is inspired by the 2013 movie. The player is in control of a nameless cowboy (until you name him). And as our hero, it is your job to defend and protect the city and its citizens of the small town Colby, from Butch Cavendish and his gang.
You get an overview look of the small town. You will often do missions such as going to the general store, or clean out the hotel full of rats. It’s just a matter of tapping the command button until your progress bar fill up, but be careful doing missions takes up energy, which mind you take a while to fill up.
Another cool thing I love about this game is the duels, and what is a western game without the famous duels. Now the duels in this game are fun, but you have to be fast and accurate to win most duels. You get front view of your opponent, then when it does start you will get a crosshair that will appear on a different part of his body, then you have to as fast as you can tap exactly on the crosshair before he shoots you, miss and he also shoots you. Shoot you opponent enough times to drain his energy to win.
Successfully finishing the mission will give you money to buy things such as guns to raise your attack and outfits to raise your defence. All will be useful in the duel fights. Finishing missions will also give you experience points to level up your hero to open up new items at the general store.
The sounds of guns shooting, horses and hawks, and having some western music in the background made the game sound like you were in a western movie.
The visuals of the game were just bland , it was nice seeing the people of Colby walking along the roads, working and you even see them talking to each other, but that was about as good as it gets, other than the citizen being alive everything looks dull and boring. When getting to some cut-scenes and the dueling the characters are so pixelated they kind of look like they are just being teleported from or to the USS Enterprise.
I do like the fact that there is a leaderboard to compare your duel wins with other players, I also like the fact that there are the famous gun duel, and that you get to interact with The Lone Ranger himself, and as well with Tonto.
What I don’t like about some of these games is doing mission take up energy. I really wish that they would get rid that with these types of games kills the experience.
The Lone Ranger is not a bad game, but it’s not a great game. But if this game is your cup of tea, or if you are a die-hard fan and want to try it out, pick it up at google play store and enjoy Ke-mo-sah-bee
