The Wild West beckons once more in West Game II, a mobile strategy simulation where you shape frontier settlements, recruit legendary heroes, and contend with outlaws and rival players. From LeyiGames, this free-to-play title promises a blend of town building, hero collection, and real-time combat. Available on Google Play and Apple App Store, West Game II builds on the foundation of the original West Game while trying to refine systems and player experience.
In this indie game review, we Indie Games Tavern will examine whether West Game II succeeds in delivering a compelling frontier strategy experience, where it stumbles, and who should play it.
Key takeaways:
- Gameplay:
- In West Game II, you start with a fledgling settlement in a lawless frontier. Over time, you upgrade buildings, generate resources, recruit heroes or outlaws, research technologies, and expand your territory. Meanwhile, you engage in real-time battles—both PvE (against rebels or bandits) and PvP (against other players or alliances).
- Hook: One of the hooks is the “rescue and take in townsfolk” mechanic—by defeating rebels or foes on the frontier, you can convert survivors into your own settlers and strengthen your settlement.
- UIUX:
- We have to say that LeyiGames handled this part very well, from the very first steps into the game until we finished the tutorials. We have no problems to understand the storyline, the game’s core loop as well as the main features. Beside that, the buttons are so convinience to touch to navigate through scenes.
- Graphics:
- The 3D graphics with wild west theme are really great, from images to animations to visual effects, nothing to complain if not to say it’s the best on mobile at the moment for the wild west games.
- Sounds:
- BGMs? SFXs? Voices? Everything is just perfect. 10/10
- Performance & Experience:
- We met some lags during the scene transitions at some times, but overall it’s ok experience. With the quality of developers as we saw at other things, we believe that they will improve this part sooner than we think.
Final Thoughts: Should You Build Your Town in West Game II?
West Game II is a strong entry in the mobile frontier strategy genre. It successfully blends base building, hero collection, real-time combat, and alliance play with a Western aesthetic. While monetization and grind may deter some, the core systems provide depth and long-term engagement—especially for players who enjoy strategy on mobile.
This game is ideal for players who:
- Love base-building and strategy games on mobile
- Enjoy hero and unit synergies
- Like alliance play and social strategy
- Don’t mind gradual progression over time
It might be less attractive to:
- Players looking for a purely casual, low-effort game
- Those who dislike pay-to-win mechanics
- Gamers who expect fast, instant gratification in mobile titles
