60 of 198 · most liked firstDon't Die in the West Wild Indigo Ranch, was a promising and endearing early access title which I loved. The vast majority of positive reviews come from the initial release; the game was playable and fun with a reasonable amount of jank as expected of an early access game. Then in July of last year they re-branded, a foreshadow of things to come. Two months later, they launched the 1.0 release with a large overhaul and additional content. It had clearly not been tested prior to release and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was looking for a multiplayer game to play with my boyfriend thats kinda survival but not gory survival cos I like the more cosy games and this one is literally that. Boyfriend goes off killing things and does quests while I can make our base super cute. For an early access game it's pretty good with plenty of things to do and stuff to explore, I'm super excited to play it when the finished game comes out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why am I down-voting a game I have over 30 hours in? Because I have ADHD. And I'm forgetful. You see, every few months or so, I forget about my experience with this game and decide to give it another chance. I get around 4 hours in and suddenly start remembering why this games irritates me so much. I remember that my aim is awful, and there's no "easy" setting for combat. So players like me, who want to focus more on the story progression and the building, are going to be fully soft-locked…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They just released that they will be increasing the price to around $20 which is a laugh to me because this game feels so uncomplete. The conversations are redundant and dont update if you already have done certain things for an npc. The camera has no rotation or opacity for you moving behind things. The quests are sometimes non-descriptive and have no map markers. The graphics have no settings except resolution and v-sync. There seems to be not much more to do after about 2-3 hours of play…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate how frustratingly buggy this game is, and how poorly designed everything is, because this is a fun game when it's not making my blood vessels pop that I've been waiting for to come out of early access. -Why do I clip through a bridge in the Rocky Falls area and plummet to my death? -Why do bosses clip through the floor when I shoot them? At the very least bottomless pits aren't instant kill for the player, which is a solace for whenever I clip through the floor. -Why can't these…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a funny game. The old name "Dont die in the west" suited it much better. After the woke renaming, I am going to delete it. Funday Games is lucky, that I bought it prior to the name change. I wouldn't be interstested in a "indigo ranch" game, it is generative uninteresting name
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't buy "Wild Indigo Ranch." I bought "Don't Die in the West."
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game, a builder game in the wild west, something a bit different and fun. In reality, it turned out this game should have been called Quest Completer, as you can do very little without first raising your reputation with various NPC's scattered around the map. And every NPC has a series of tedious quests for you to complete. The building and development part feels very secondary to just completing quest after quest. In addition, the user interface feels clunky (I know,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found many of the reviews here difficult to understand, so I’d like to clarify a few things for anyone considering buying this game. I personally enjoyed playing it; it's fun, and the graphics, as well as the overall setting, are great. It’s a cozy game where you build a farm and help some of the citizens. Yes, there are some bugs, especially when trying to complete missions, but most have already been patched, or I solved them by simply relogging into the game. You can also choose to come…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've tried playing this game several times and there is always bugs that prevent me from completing quests, which is extremely frustrating. I do think this game has the guts to be good, but calling this a 1.0+ build of the game should just not be true. Please fix game breaking bugs so I can enjoy this game. I will uninstall for the 3rd time now and try again in a few months.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has so much potential, but the bugs make it impossible to play. I'd read reviews saying there were bugs but had no idea how painful they'd be. And do NOT believe that this game has controller support. It does work to some extent, but nowhere near playable level. An example: lassoing a chicken. That part was easy. But HOW do you collect the chicken after?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Progression is basically do a quest, quest wants you to build a wall, build the wall, reward is a roof, now use that roof to complete the next quest, get a wood roof, now use that roof to do another quest, rinse and repeat. extremely boring quests and progression. Wait for updates. Game needs time to cook.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will recommend this game- but with a caveat- if you are someone that DEMANDS game to have absolutely 0 bugs without blowing up into oblivion-- then please just play a different game and save this lovely developer the bad review. IF you however- want a cute game that can be cozy-esque while also having a bit of fun, adventure, and exploration- WITH CRAFTING!!! then get this silly yet wonderous adventure of a game! I am a cozy game player by trade- but I do dabble in the dark arts sometimes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not a bad game. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy it. I'm saying you shouldn't buy it yet. The controller support is terrible with aiming, which is most of combat. The quest lines aren't complete. The skill trees aren't complete. You will occasionally get stuck. The building is finicky. Some of the progression is unclear. There is no way to get rid of items besides dropping them in the world, which will become a problem eventually. It is really cute, fun, and definitely has charm. I would…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just want to say, I absolutely ADORE this game. However I cannot recommend knowing that there are so many bugs that break the game. I am currently stuck on a quest and cannot get the game to recognize that I have the required amount of animals I need. I have also encountered serious issues with the building quests where it will not accept what you've built until you completely dismantle the building and rebuild. This game has so much potential, if the bugs were being addressed I would…

unlabelledView post →Game used to be called Don't Die in the West, it should have stayed that way.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wild Indigo Ranch is a cozy crafting RPG with a lot of charm. A little bit silly, a little bit dangerous and a lot of bit fun. Funday Games, the development team behind Wild Indigo Ranch, has been heavily involved with the active community on Discord and should feel proud of the work they've put into creating a living, breathing Western adventure for us all to enjoy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →from the games advertisement it looked like I would be running around shooting bandits, meeting npc's and building MY ranch. ( farming, animal husbandry etc. ) instead what the game really is is BS grindy quests full of busy work, forcing you to build all of the NPC's homes, shops and ranches. this would not be so bad except for the chaotic nature of the quests means you will be bouncing back and forth from one NPC to the other doing bits and pieces of WORK and never completing one quest…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like it, but there is no way that this was 1.0 ready. Many, MANY bugs, including game-breaking ones that halt progression entirely. The combat is also needlessly difficult, game systems have little to no explanation... Overall it needed a lot more work before I would say it was actually ready for release. I don't feel ripped off for $10 but I wouldn't buy it full-price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wild Indigo Ranch is an interesting idea that is executed very poorly. It feels shallow and barely half finished. The player is suppose to be rebuilding their ranch as well as the neighboring areas; these are limited towns and a few properties around the map. The NPCs have certain expectations about what they consider as 'rebuilt'. This is fine but, sometimes they don't always tell you all the requirements. The game is also very glitchy. It is not uncommon to see NPCs fall through the floor…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At this moment I can't honestly recommend the game in its current state. The game is so much fun in mp BUT... it's riddled with bugs, the devs keep releasing hotfixes for it but it seems that they fix one thing and another gets broken making the quest progression unbearable and taking all the fun out of the game. They should have polished the game up a bit before releasing it like this. We have decided to stop playing it till it's in a better state and it's such a shame because this game has so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no real progress since release into early access... this game has potential, but its just a foundation of a game, nothing more.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Several game breaking bugs and apparently the developer has no interest in resolving any issues - it has been several months since the last patch and there do not appear to be any on the horizon. That aside, the controls are terrible.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i feel bad saying it's not recommended but this game crashes every 50minutes-2hrs of gameplay. and it freezes my entire computer and i have to do a manual turn off. (also my rig is at/better than the recommended system requirements) and it sucks because i do really have fun when im playing the game. i love the leveling up in the game because i feel like im getting better. like i thought the guns/bows were janky but then leveling them up feels so rewarding because it gets easier. (kind of like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't recommend it, even on sale, there are better games for the money. The game crashes out of nowhere and the controls can result in what should've been an easily avoidable RIP, especially when you get stuck on something you shouldn't have. At least you can get your stuff back easy enough. I'll still noodle around on it for a bit. It's a shame it's not better, I like the concept of avenging who you inherited land from.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually bought this a while ago (You know, one of those games you buy because you want to play it but didn't have time at the moment?). Just got a chance to play the new 1.0. I love the cartoony feel of the game. From navigating the menus, creating your character and playing throughout the game, it just has these good feels all around. I suppose all the negative reviews must have come from back when it was still in early access, but a lot must have been changed since then. I've enjoyed it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't remember buying a badly made stardew valley clone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually really like the game and what its going for. Especially since the 1.0 changes the game flows quite nicely from one task to the next and there's always a nice sense of danger to the world. Helps sell that wild west feeling a little more. The characters are distinct and interesting and the anti-corpo plot absolutely sings to my heart. The devs have some really interesting ideas and the systems mesh together fairly well. My major gripe with the game and the reason I cannot…

unlabelledView post →This is a great game, it's nice, cozy and cute. However they need to go back to the original name "Don't Die in the West"
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game, but EA being EA, after 5 hours my save game and character got corrupted. No rebinding keys. Not recommended at this time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The other reviews cover this game well. A really great premise and animation but just not that well put together...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →would have been fun if it weren't for the bugs...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has potential, but it needs more work to make it fun. For example, I just spent 30m trying to get 5 chickens into my coop but: 1. It's never explained WHY I want chickens. 2. Half the time the chickens don't go into the coop, they just run away 3. Using the lasso to capture chickens is frustrating as all hell, since the rope constantly breaks or needs to be replaced, so you're fiddling with the UI as the chicken runs back the way you came from. This is an early game quest,…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been really enjoying the game so far. When I started it, I expected it to be very similar to other farming games (Stardew, Sun Haven, etc.), but placed in a new setting. However, it has a much higher focus on questing, exploring, and base building (not necessarily your base). The farming aspects are more of a "yeah... you can do this as well..." kinda thing. A lot of it feels very tedious. Planting, watering, and harvesting takes an annoyingly long time, which made me contemplate just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I've finished the game. And while I certainly liked some parts of it, I really can't recommend it at this point. Let's start with the good : - The art is nice. It's a bit of an odd choice to create characters that don't have legs and mostly hop around, but the game sticks to that choice, and with the top-down view it doesn't end up as some kind of uncanny valley. There is a lot of charm to it, and it's not generic at least. - There is a lot of customisation, you can build a bunch of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately cannot recommend this at this time. Full release is out, but some very basic issues that can completely destroy your game without any listed ability to go back to previous saves or something that can get you out of completely restarting. Other basic QOL items are missing in the full release, such as the inability to delete/trash items, leaving you to either filling up misc boxes, or dropping them in the wild, which just clutters up the place. It's a super cute western and i do…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love how most of the negative feedback is by people that had more to do with the fact that they changed the name over the fact that its a pretty fun and chill game. I have been playing and enjoying all the new stuff they have added over the year. The dev team is super supportive and actually listen to feedback in the discord. I would recommend this game to anyone looking for some fun ranching and fixing up an old town corrupted by bandits... more to it but don't want to spoil.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steam Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "A Cozy, Crafting Paradise!" This game is a dream come true for fans of deep crafting and customization, wrapped up in a cozy, inviting world. The crafting system is detailed and rewarding, allowing you to create everything from powerful weapons to intricate decorations. The customization options are endless—you can truly make your character and gear your own. The combat is engaging and satisfying, but what really stands out is how relaxing the whole experience is.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →here's Wild Indigo Ranch, a gather-craft-build game sorta game with a cartoon Wild West flavor. some time after buying it, I happened to go back to check the Steam page for something and noticed its review rating had taken quite a sharp dive store.steampowered.com/app/1751350/...
unlabelledView post →I just love the game. Read the negative comments about the glitches and it seems sorted at this stage. Cool soundtrack, lots of unlocks, just went into the forest and hope to spend much more time in the game. Cant believe the current player count is so low. Wish there were more of this kind of game out there, but with the current support from gamers it seems unlikely that devs would venture into this kind of game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are bugs, and a HUGE frustrating mechanic. All things like crafting, selling, buying, forging, can only be done one at a time. This makes for clicking the same thing 100x or more with a time delay. A few other nit picks, but that's the bad. The good: Holy bananas this game is fun! The progression flows good. Combat is awesome. The building is fine. The story and npc's are cool. A lot of the content on YouTube labels this game cozy. It is at first, but it progresses into a tough rouge…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot of potential and fun to be had, unfortunately, as of writing, it is not a finished game by any stretch of the imagination. There are still constant updates to fix glitches, those updates seem to cause more bugs so its a continuing issue of finding new bugs where there were none before as the Devs fix one and screw up two. There is no tutorial at all, you have to find your way through trial and error and you find that a lot of your time is spent walking or riding between…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a wild stuttering bug ranch marvel, every save i encounter different bug. unique and terrifying. bloody developer i hope u did test ur game thoroughly before release it to the public as 1.0.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its annoying and when i say that i mean its really annoying you cant do nothing without dying every 5 min hen having to find where you lost your loot. did i mention its boring too
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cute and fun. Price point is very accessible and reasonable. I really enjoy the aesthetic of the game. Its clean and concise, very clever art direction as it portrays everything you need in a clear visible manner. The moment to moment gameplay is calm and relaxing and doesnt ramp up very much. A very mellow experience all around. Its much better with friends as there is a bit of grind to get done and many NPC's and quests to be found. Plus you can dress up as an old white dude with a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really love this little game, it was charming from the start. As a big survival/crafter lover, the crafting side of the game was great tied in with the relationship building aspect! The characters are silly and I love the movement style, it makes the game more lighthearted and funny. There ARE bugs yes, but I hadn't found any game breaking ones. The devs do seem to be updating and trying to fix the bugs regularly too. The multiplayer is definitely more buggy than the single player but it's a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Everyone on the Wild Indigo Ranch team got a little "Annabelle and Nugget" figurine after launching the game ❤ This is a really lovely gesture. What nice "memento" have you gotten after shipping a game ?
unlabelledView post →not finished, mid fun when it does work. Quite a few QOL mechanics missing. So many bugs, in the AI in the inventory in the damage in the construction in the saves (broke this camels back). just SOoo many lil bugs lost a ♥♥♥♥ ton of inventory due to how it loaded after multiple deaths. Not about to go through that again. Maybe in a year it'll be ok but honestly this feels like shovel ware that'll never get any kind of meaningful QA team.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →support good indie games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wild Indigo Ranch is a game that embodies the true grit of ranch life, setting you in a vast, open frontier where hard work and heart pay off in spades. With cool crafting options and a well-composed soundtrack that sets a nice vibe, it really drew me in for the first few hours of gameplay. Can’t wait to get back in the saddle for more ranching!!🤠
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →New name is mad gay, reported and refunded
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun cheap game, I would definetly recommend it if I hadn't hit a game breaking bug. The Black Smith disappeared after i saved her apprentice, so i cannot progress the story or craft any metal. Cant wait for a patch!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is alot of fun! Janky? Sure, buggy? Quite! But loads of fun, cant wait for this game to get some more dev time. Its a steal for its current price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit (08.03.2025): After the release, I have now finally played the game again and was pleasantly surprised! The bugs are gone, and the developers have actually listened to the players' suggestions (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!). For example, we now have fast travel, the option to craft more things at a time, tutorials, even the map reveal has improved, AND get this - inventory upgrades! That made me so f-ing happy. Furthermore, the story is interesting while the game has still retained the elements that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is great. There is a learning curve in the beginning and you are gonna die a lot but as you get to understand the enemies and as you increase your skill in different weapons (including your axe, do not sleep on your axe as a weapon!) you’ll get the hang of it and you’ll find yourself taking down coyotes, crowds of bandits, and that boss you never thought you would. Collecting recipes and building is fun and addictive. It’s so rewarding to finally get that recipe for the crafting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got 2/3 of the way into the game and really enjoyed it but now encountered a bug that prevents me from getting g any further. The game doesn’t allow you to go back to prior saves so I essentially have no choice but to start the entire game over. Bugs like this are so frustrating and turn an otherwise great game into an incredibly frustrating experience. I looked up a number of supposed fixes and none have worked. This is so frustrating and makes me regret ever having bought it. I’m…
