Add in old west steam punk for the setting and I can say with near 100% assurance that only a single fits this description. That’s right, you guessed it – Bang! Howdy.

Developed by Three Rings Design, the fine folks who broke the MMOG mold with Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates, Bang! Howdy has little in common with its piratey cousin except Three Ring’s polish, great design, and wonderful quirkiness. Unlike a traditional strategy title, Bang! Howdy is played in 5-20 minute segments. Instead of a trekking through a series of campaigns managing enormous armies with the goal of vanquishing your enemy to reach an ultimate goal, the game is played on a series of unique maps using different game types and a series of… special units.
