Tales West

ABOUT: Tales west is an action rpg made using rpgmaker2003. The game is set in the wild west, during the gold rush to be exact, circa 1865. The story chronicles the stranger, (you) and his quest for gold, justice, and revenge.

The Lawless Frontier...

Home to outlaws, wanderers, and vagabonds...

Following the civil war, folks from all over
the country came here seeking their fortune.

That fortune was gold, or the promise of it.
But a new breed of outlaw was flourishing,
striking fear into the hearts of decent
folks everywhere...

Known as "cow boys", these bandits owned
allegiance only to each other. No
man, woman, or child was safe from
their wrath...
Like a violent sandstorm, sweeping across the
great plains.

A worn stranger travels to Drywood, seeking
fortune of his own...
