This game is fun. It's also totally crazy. I would say I enjoyed playing it till The Cows Came Home, but apparently at the start of the game we're told they already did, and the results weren't pretty, and YOU have got to do something about it.

Except that doesn't really quite turn out to be the main quest - nor does the unrelated skeleton invasion caused by a Necromancer.

Plus there's the question of just what the Goblins (apparently related to mushrooms) are up to, what the Rodeo Clowns from Hell truly want, and can anybody explain anything about the mysterious machines of El Vibrato, and whether they need to be stopped or reactivated?

In the middle of all this, we discover almost by accident that the true main-quest of this game, of building a railway from Dirtwater to Frisco City (yes, that's its real name) and dealing with "Emperor" Norton one way or another, can be somewhat incidental to all the other crazy and hilarious things that can happen in this game.

Definitely a must for anybody who enjoyed Asymmetric's other online game, Kingdom Of Loathing. Also a must for those people who haven't encountered KOL yet (and what are you waiting for?)

Now further improved by the addition of its DLC, "Reckonin' at Gun Manor", for which you have to travel back to the town of Dirtwater to discover the way to the new zone...
