A: Determine the selected response, fire while the aim is displayed. B: Same function as A. B is not only for cancellation. This is a one-person game that can be played with a regular I controller, and is not intended for use with a ray gun or mouse.
Law of the West — About this game
In Law of the West: Law of the West, you play the role of a sheriff who deals with townsfolk and outlaws. This is a one-person game where you choose from four responses to the other person's statement and change the subsequent reaction and development. Instead of shooting everyone right away, finding a response suitable for a sheriff will lead to a high score. On the other hand, if your opponent pulls out a gun or another enemy aims at your conversation partner, you'll need to move your aim and react quickly. Protect the town until nightfall by using conversational judgment and shooting switching.
