El Hijo – A Wild West Tale gameplay trailer

HandyGames and Honig Studios have unveiled a new title for their upcoming spaghetti-western stealth game, El Hijo – A Wild West Tale, along with new artwork, gameplay, and features. Check out an overview and a trailer showcasing gameplay below.

About El Hijo – A Wild West Tale

The journey begins when a farmer and her son are attacked by bandits who raze their farm to the ground. The mother decides to leave “El Hijo” at a secluded monastery in order to protect him. However, “El Hijo” decides that the monastic life is not for him and decides to escape. El Hijo – A Wild West Tale is a non-violent stealth game. Violence is instead exchanged with the mischievous, playfulness of a young child. Shadowplay is in the core of the game and “El Hijo” will often have to hide. Without needlessly adding new mechanics, the gameplay is extended naturally, as variations of existing mechanics are gradually introduced and then combined with each other to increase the challenge. These twists on familiar mechanics are often a product of the varied, increasingly dangerous environments that he must traverse to reach his ultimate goal: finding his mother.

Features:

– Survive in the Wild West with the cleverness of a young hero
– Explore dark monasteries, deserts and boomtowns in a spaghetti-western world
– Merge with the shadows to hide from the lawless
– Solve playfully tricky environmental puzzles
– Use a playful arsenal of tactical toys to bypass and distract diverse desperadoes
– Inspire other children to join you on the path to freedom
– Enjoy the gripping storyline of a brave son searching for his mother
