Gamespot:
"Fighting games rarely do so much with so little. Don't let the isometric view and the twin stick controls deceive you: Secret Ponchos has fast-paced adversarial multiplayer combat with imaginatively conceived characters who have distinct strengths and weakness. Furthermore, its Wild West-themed combat reveals more tactical depth the more you play.
Choosing a character in a well-made fighting game is like deciding what to eat at a restaurant you frequent. There's safety in going with what you're used to, but pleasant surprises await if you dare to try something new. Both feelings initially resonate in Secret Ponchos, though sticking to one fighter becomes an easy choice the moment you discover that each outlaw has a progression system. Superb skill yields substantial rewards, and Secret Ponchos sticks with traditional upgrades toward increased health, stamina, range, and other familiar stats."
Switchblade Monkeys Entertainment obviously knows they have a good thing going with Secret Ponchos.
NoobFeed writes - Secret Ponchos is a rather unique game with intense fights and a high skill ceiling but in need of more players.
Switchblade Monkeys' Secret Ponchos didn't have the success on PS4 that the developer had hoped for, even after giving it away as a freebie with PS Plus. The developers talk working with Sony, development of the PC version and the possibility of cross-play between the PS4 and PC versions of the spaghetti western.
I need to give this game another chance. It just didn't grab me after my first few games.
The lack of an in-depth tutorial and bot mode probably didn't help. I think they actually added both to PC release.
Ya it is a little tough at the start to figure it out but once you do its really a solid little game
Tried back this game 3 weeks ago. Could not find any online matches. Waited for a good 15 minutes.
