Vault Note

Sometimes all it takes is one well-timed gun and a heap of false accusations to get the party started.

Programmer's Pick

This isn't your average revenge western—Sabata's escape from the noose is just the overture to a tangled Italo-western of brotherly betrayal, fake witnesses, and a bounty hunter with a grudge. If you're craving a classic spaghetti western with a hero who'd rather shoot the truth than the sheriff, Wanted Sabata brings the heat.
