In this alternate universe, the West was won by trying a bunch of ideas so crazy they just might work… and if they don’t, hitting the quick-load button to revert to an earlier save and trying something even crazier until you pull it off.

To help you scale the new heights, your character will be equipped with a Wirebug that functions like a grappling hook to fling you around.

The new flagship monster this time around is Magnamalo
