Western Press

Western Press is a frontier dueling game based on a true story. In rapid-fire one-on-one contests, you race an opponent to press a randomly generated sequence of ten buttons. Tournaments support 2 to 16 competitors, including players and bots, online or locally.

Duels and controls

A duel lasts seconds: press the prompted buttons from top to bottom as quickly as you can. Custom settings let you choose which buttons appear, from directional inputs alone to the full set. The game includes prompts for Xbox and PlayStation controllers, dance mats and a wide range of third-party controllers, as well as keyboard play.

Keyboard players can duel by typing ten-letter words, random gibberish or layouts that replicate controller prompts. You can create a profile and play the Skill Tester to earn a rank and unlock characters. Four characters are playable at the start; the other 12 must be unlocked, including Wyatt Hurt.

Tournament modes

You can set up custom tournaments for 2 to 16 competitors, mixing local players, online players and bots. The tournament system arranges the match-ups. In Memory Mode, players memorise and repeat an increasingly long sequence of buttons; the player who makes more mistakes loses.

Custom content

Steam Workshop support lets you create custom characters and environments using your own animations, sounds and taunts, then share them through the Workshop. Custom content is downloaded dynamically at the start of an online tournament.
