60 of 196 · most liked firstI almost didn’t buy Wild West Dynasty because the reviews were “Mostly Negative.” And not just a little negative — we’re talking pitchforks and torches outside the saloon negative. The kind of negative where you assume the game personally insulted someone’s grandma. But then I saw the price. The Ultimate Edition was under $10. At that point my internal financial advisor (who is just a raccoon wearing a tiny cowboy hat) said: “Listen partner… if you get one hour of fun out of this, that’s a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wild West Dynasty should not currently be on Steam. I'm the last person who should criticize developers for using the Early Access system to give players access to development builds. However, despite what your experience may lead you to believe: Wild West Dynasty is not in Early Access. This is a shipped, 1.0 title - priced far beyond it what it currently should be, and having fully left Early Access some time ago. Toplitz Productions (the publisher) holds responsibility in this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing Medieval Dynasty and being a huge western fan I was so excited to play this. I bought it early access and it was awful. I put it down and came back months later after a few "updates". It was still awful. I came back again recently and it's still a broken mess. There's very little to do but all quest lines I'm stuck on due to glitches that won't let me craft certain things. Not to mention bugs like getting stuck in doorways and trees suddenly appearing out of the ground where…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really hate to give this game a negative review because I wish that this game actually was good. I love the dynasty games (Medieval Dynasty and Sengoku Dynasty) and I love the wild west era in games and movies. So I REALLY want a good Wild West Dynasty game. When they released the 1.0 version it got better, but not enough. Everything with this game feels rushed. And because this is THE 1.0 version, you get higher expectations. Here is a list of crucial things that makes this game bad:…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although I immediately wanted this game due to the Wild West setting, I admit I was scared away due to all the negative reviews. This didn't necessarily totally scare me away but did make me hesitate until I could grab it on sale. Now that I have played the game a bit, I don't understand the reason for so many negative reviews. The game has not disappointed me at all. I love the setting, the story, the game play, the vibe. What makes a game fun is so subjective that paying too much…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandonware ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trash. I wish ♥♥♥♥ people and ♥♥♥♥ devs were held accountable for stealing money like this. From a business perspective the act of starting this and just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quitting on all your consumers is somewhat like opening a pizza place, taking orders from paying customers, then providing people with a piece of wonder bread with ketchup on it. While your still at the counter you tell the patrons that cheese and pepperoni are promised features of the pizza, but then when you go…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've read a review that said, "I've read all the negative reviews, and I've looked at the screenshots, and I didn't believe it could be that bad. It is." And I didn't believe it can be that bad. And it is. This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, not a game. Poor animations, poor camera that makes 100 fps look like 20, poor UI, poor everything. Do not buy, stay away.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Potential was there but unfulfilled by the devs. As a day 1 player I cannot stress enough that you don't waste your money. Dev support doesn't exist, gameolay is very buggy, graphis are easily at a pre 2010 level and there is next to no optimization for stable performance. The game was better in beta......... Sad to do this review as I had high hopes. I mean its had an open public beta since april and just sits now.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a TON of potential. I love survival games and I'm fascinated with anything to do with the Old West. I played it when it first released. Very buggy, as I knew it would be. So I took about a year hiatus to let the devs cook, then came back. After a year you can tell they have made some progress, but not nearly what I had hoped for. There are still a TON of issues, both visually and mechanically. Like some other reviews, it should not have left early access. I really enjoy the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw a lot of bad reviews, but after seeing a guy named LMG play it , I decided to give it a go myself. I am glad I did. It's not perfect, but it's a lot of fun. There are many things to do and the building in this game is pretty cool. I enjoy checking out places on the map on horseback! There are no shootouts in this game, which is kinda nice. Every now and then I like a steady game where you aren't on high alert! If you do buy this game I hope you have as much fun as I am having playing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So - this game has obviously gotten a lot of $h!t but after reading another similar review to the one I'm about to post, I'm very glad I tried this game despite the negativity. Sure there are some bugs (although nothing glaring to my eyes so far...), and a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, but I'm happily riding around, building a town, solving mysteries and helping neighbours. Do with that what you will. If there is even the smallest part of you that wants to play, just do it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nothing like the other dynasty games, listen to the others who have bought this game and don't. I thought "Oh it can't be that bad." Boy was I wrong. Controls are bad, graphics are bad, story...also bad. Do your self a favor and don't bother with this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have over a 100 hours in game now. My first ever steam game review as i dont think the game is as bad as some of the reviewers are saying. Credit first the devs and toplitz for not abandoning the game. Also for their continual and quick responses to the bugs reported since 1.0 was released. It is deffo an improvement regarding gameplay. The background graphics and lighting on the huge map were already stunning for me. Hence me having so many hours in the game just exploring all the nooks and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel the need to review this simply for the sake of updating some very outdated takes on this title. As of March 2026, Wild West Legacy, formerly known as Wild West Dynasty, is not abandonware. I'm as shocked as many of you may be. The devs have actually patched some things and even released the game on consoles. The game itself is decent. Like a 6.8/10 or so. It's not groundbreaking by any means, but if you compare it to crap like Outlaws of the Wild West, which is an incredibly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to love this game so bad, with 40 hours in, you can't say I haven't tried. With this new update, it's even more buggy now - I wasn't even 30 minutes in from a fresh install after not playing since it first came out; bugs galore to the point I had to ctrl alt delete my way out. Didn't even reopen the game to see where the last save was, uninstalled it again. The settings menu even bugged and scrolled into nothinginess.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should be free. It's worthless. Gameplay: The gameplay is pitiful, full of bugs. I can't even get past the tutorial, too many bugs, I don't feel like starting the game again to see if I'm lucky enough not to have a bug in my progress. The dialogs are lame and looped, they serve no purpose. I've seen 12-year-olds do better with Renpy. Unity is not a good choice for this kind of game. The amateurism of these devs: they have absolutely no idea what they're doing. The slowness of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game so much. Even now I don't want to give it a negative review but I can't recommend it at this point. The developers were given the huge task of bringing a game like Medieval Dynasty to the wild west but they failed so so bad. The first attempt was so bad it had to be rewritten and in Jan 2024 they decided to start over with a new character and new story-line. The early access version was not optimized, was horribly riddled with bugs and while the premise of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hrs played at the time of review: 27 If you're considering buying this game because you enjoyed Medieval Dynasty then I can’t stress enough that it is exactly where Medieval Dynasty was when first it came out of early access. While the current story is quite short it has a huge amount of potential, the dev team is small but they are very open about how update progress is coming. The horse mechanics on this game are lovely, though there are moments where you’re standing vertically on a cliff…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Widely considered the worst in the Dynasty franchise, Wild West Dynasty is a technical disaster that feels like unfinished abandonware. The game is poorly optimized, difficult to navigate, and offers almost no explanation for its badly designed quests, leaving players lost in a clunky, unintuitive world. Unless you enjoy fighting with a game's UI and performance more than actually playing it, this is one ghost town not worth visiting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First, I was hesitant to buy the game due to the bad reviews. However, experience shows that most bad reviews just ruin good games, so I decided to give it a try. And I can but recommend it! It has a nice and interesting storyline that I'm looking forward to explore further. NPCs actually do have background plus it's even worth asking them about it. Even more, the player character has a story, a background, family and things to explore. It's rare that a survival game even bothers to spend…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have been playing this game for 50 hours now and I must say that, although it is far from perfect, I really like it. It may not be the easiest game to get into, but once you get the hang of things, the game is really solid and will want you to keep progressing. I really do not understand people who give this game a bad review ( after playing less then a couple of hours ) because they have to figure some things out in the beginning. Yes, not everything is easy to find in the beginning. Yes,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a western enjoyer. I don't get the hate, yes the game is 80% bugged, but to me it's good. Example This game is a mix of The Forest (cutting trees) 7 days to die, the junky like animations and the whole map alike 7days to die I don't understand, i guess peoples are mad for the Sandbox vibe, this game feels like a Gmod map. You don't die when you fall from a big height, no matter if you're on a horse or not, and i like it I played Rd2 and it annoy me how fast youre gonna fall from the horse,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love the game.. let me know when you have a female character selection though. Just weird playing a dude :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was expecting the same type of ease to play and controls as Medieval Dynasty, but am very disappointed as to the clunkiness of the of this game. Inventory transfer is the worst! I really enjoy Medieval Dynasty, and can't stress enough that this came is much different and needs a lot of work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is just a rip off.-full of bugs and they are not even working on it.. they tell you it's your pc that's the trouble when it's not. you real can't really play the game,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All the negative comments are not warranted. This game has come a long way from the original game that was given. It is fun, it is survival and very much like Sengoku, Planet crafter and other gathering, building survival games that show a growing town. I really hope the devs do not give up on it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't played any of the other dynasty games, but I really like the Wild West theme in games, and I like a lot of what you have to do in the game but there are so many frustrating design aspects that really ruin the experience. No autosave that you can load from the main menu (it exists on your hard drive but you can't load it from the game?!) Awful map that doesn't even center on the player when you open it?! The compass is very difficult to tell what direction your traveling in (how…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game definitely still needs work. Its a good concept, but alot of the functionalities are limited and the game will bug out randomly. You can always reload the game when these events happen: a building piece loading into your abilities and you not being able to cancel the task; The screen blacking out; all of the stones missing. It seems like the game could be awesome, but just needs more love.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I resisted buying the early access version of the game because of the poor reviews, but decided I'd give it a go when they put out the new version, and so far I'm enjoying it, and I've not come across any major bugs so far. I find it a little difficult to find things on the map, but they've been regularly fixing bugs. I don't have a top of the range computer and I've not had any lag issues or crashes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well there are a lot of gaps in how this game is designed. I think that the team got lost when designing the linear progression of the tutorial. Example: instruction, "pitch a tent". well you don't have a tent, you don't have the skills to build a tent, and even once you find one to steal, you cant pitch the tent. I think that there are certain steps that must be do to do so but they are not included in the tutorial. I had real high hopes for this game as I loved Medieval Dynasty, but I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has changed a lot since it first came out. Was rough to play when it first came out which is why it got so many negative ratings. Now i started a new game after about a year and a half and the game is total different. Completely better and playable. Would recommend everyone giving it another go around. Glad the developers stuck with fixing the game and look forward to future updates and hopefully map extensions/new areas.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i thnk the story is pretty good. and the map is fairly interesting. as all these games, it will get old. but for now, im enjoying it. at just about 100 hours. much better job then before and better then most i would say.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wild West Legacy offers a genuinely immersive atmosphere. The world is beautiful, the lighting and landscapes are often stunning, and the music does a fantastic job of pulling you into that frontier feeling. Combined with solid gameplay foundations, this game has tremendous potential. That said, it’s clearly still a work in progress. The biggest issue right now is that parts of the story feel unfinished — especially the cliffhanger with the Sheriff, and no appearance of Ada. It feels like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the first Quests to introduce you to the game it says "eat something from your inventory" You open your inventory and at the food it says "Button 2 eat" You press 2 on your Keyboard, nothing happens, you press plenty of buttons which could be "Button 2" You open the controll config, no button 2 or an option to config a button to eat You go to the Community Forum to search and find out "Button 2" is "E" WTF
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the game is interesting as a settlement builder, and it has potential, if you've played Medieval Dynasty expect to be disappointed, a lot I played this when it first came out in early access, but I wasn't impressed so I soon stopped playing it There was some rework and it was then "fully released" so I've recently given it another try But even after all this time, there's still too much missing in this game to declare this a version 1.0 release The missions overlap and so you repeat…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i really like the game but honestly i think i spent most of my game hours searching on google on how to find certain things because it doesn't give you any hint or tutorial on how to get things that we need they really want you to find it out yourself
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the western/pioneer theme. Great graphics and fairly easy to control w/mouse. I am still finding more places to explore and enjoy the challenge of keeping my city on an even keel. Actually two cities which adds to the chaos. I've gone as far as I can quest wise and looking forward to continuing on as they update. The developers are easy to communicate with and take our feedback seriously.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sure feels like abandonware, very disappointing. Maybe focus your efforts instead of trying to port it to consoles.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i have just requested for a refund, complete waste of time, the game doesn't tell you how to do things at the start, it asked me to craft a hammer and fix the damaged building but doesn't tell you how and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i played medieval dynasty and i liked it so i wanted to try the western one i but i shouldn't have because this game is nothing like medieval it runs awful. i do recommend medieval dynasty tho
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to try it despite the bad reviews and I'm so glad I did. This comment is made after 20 hours of play and I'm still enjoying it a lot. Is this game perfect and bugt free ? nope but definitelly not game breaker. My main concerns are mostly visual such as hands movements in 1st person view after the action has been made. Entering a building may cause you being kind of stuck on top of a fourniture but just move toward with jumps and that would unstuck you (never had to use the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a big fan of games like this I LOVE Medieval Dynasty This game, is a unoptimized, junk, disasterpiece its laggy and jumpy even on the best hardware moving and interacting with the world, the most basic part of the game, is like pulling teeth DO NOT BUY THIS GAME
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m sad to give this a thumbs down. The devs have given me some hope they care about getting this title to a better state but the fact is they put it out as released so I have to grade it the way it is today and not how I hope they will get it to in the future. I bought this game the day it came out in early access, and I very much wanted it to succeed. On that day the game was in very bad shape, and I would have happily chalked it up to day 1 EA state BUT…the devs had been misleading about…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm the kind of person who will finish a low budget horror movie no matter how bad it is. But with this game, I genuinely don't know how I put 56 hours into it but never went further than building two buildings and probably 4 quests. You're better off playing Sunset Riders from 1991. I wouldn't waste the $8-$10 on this. The time I spent in the game was not enjoyable even for the low price.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the idea, I've tried not for long to be honest. Game is nothing like a trailer. Runs poorly, do not buy it until it's improved. Wild West dynasty could be great but it's not.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So starting off with this review, I had previously purchased the old version of this as it is the exact type of game I've been looking for. However at the time I thought it was so bad that I decided to refund it. Over a year later I decided to purchase this new version as it was on sale and I saw that it had been overhauled and thought I'd give it another chance. After 5 hours of playtime I figured I'd leave a review as I wanted another review that was fair and honest on here. And I am not sure…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had such potential to be really cool but it is absolute garbage. As a huge fan of dynasty games, I gave it a try when it was first released despite all the negative reviews and attributed it to being unfinished. I tried it again today after being released and it is still the choppy, lagging mess it was a year ago! Such a disappointment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is more of a neutral review if that was possible on steam, they have fixed a lot of bugs and brought it to a playable level, BUT the game still needs a lot of QoL improvments like even just the ability to quick transfer a whole stack of items into storage, you can't seem to atm. its just overall polish that the game is lacking really, One such example is that they added a skill you can unlock to be able to call you horse to you, thats a common feature in games lots do it great.. the issue…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absolute trash. do not buy this game. Stick to sengoku dynasty or better yet medieval dynasty. this game ain't it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →rubbish. Starting game in snowy area and asked to do quest to gather some summer time fruits / vegs or other rubbish elsewhere without telling where. Its not intuitive and is difficult to navigate.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended Hours Played: Long enough to build a homestead, run a supply trek, and learn the harshest survival mechanic is still “Women Not Found.” Wild West Dynasty sells the full frontier fantasy: * explore a fictitious American Midwest open world * survive blistering midday sun, freezing nights, seasonal changes, and wild animals * build a home, decorate it with a *huge* amount of craftable furniture (“DIY has never been this easy”) * convince settlers to join you, then manage food,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually really love this game, playing on a controller so a little clunky but apart from using a mouse its perfectly playable. Added a load of story content and the building is so extensive, building up towns/designing your own homestead. Would actually really suggest this game to anyone who wants a western base building game. The developers seem to be giving it what it needs and with not a lot more polishing could be a 10/10 game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have applied for a refund. This was in a terrible state in Early Access, they completely remade it and launched it as a full release so I gave it another go but didn't make it past the intro because it is somehow even worse. The main menu broke when I changed settings on startup forcing me to Alt F4 and relaunch, the cut scene animations, dialogue and voice acting are awful, the game stutters every few seconds and the graphics quality even on high look like they're still in an early access…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game was £25,00 then it went down to £11.00 on black Friday so i bought it. what i didnt know was it was a tutorial, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT, you conned me out of £11,00. bloody thieving ♥♥♥♥♥.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played 5 hours and I believe it has tons of potential but it falls flat as a playable game to enjoy. There are no "hints' on what Items mean or do. Inventory isn't the easiest to manage. The sliders work if you can grab them. If I only want a couple of items out of 50 there should be +1/-1 buttons to make it easier. Crafting is a bit weird. I can craft something even if I haven't analyzed it. Not sure what function that even has in the game. I can't figure out build plans. Do I find them…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bug ridden, its not until you play a few hours that everything hits you. For a game thats been 3 years in development it should'nt be this bad. Don't they even test it?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In its current state, the game is too buggy to play. I dont recommend playing it until its had a few more updates.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a good wild west sandbox. It doesn't hold your hand well, but its not suppose to. Quit your belly aching, and find that true grit within yourself. Then again, the struggles of the west aren't for the feint of heart.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its very broken.... It very unpolished and no where near a finished game Sengoku dynasty by comparison is a masterpiece this game is just broken in my first 2 hours of gameplay I found dozens of game breaking bugs, everything from quest bugs blocking progress to NPC's not being able to figure out how to find my town..they just get stuck in the world unable to get to your town... -Hare traps disappear from where you set them..which just breaks the game..you cant gather enough food…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ok,....ive played this game for a few hours...it 100% has potential to be just as good if not AS GOOD as Medieval Dynasty if the developers stick with it. i hope they keep doing updates and fixing the bugs because i really love western games like this it takes me back to playing the after story of RDR2 but more. dont give up on this game it has potential give it time.
