Rare Steam discount: Western shooter with 94% positive reviews drops to $1.49

At the center of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is aging bounty hunter Silas Greaves, who recounts his past in a saloon. The game uses an unusual narrative trick: as Silas embellishes or corrects his story, levels, enemies and situations change during gameplay. The shooter was developed by Polish studio Techland, known for Dying Light and Dead Island, and released in May 2013. It normally costs around $14.99 on Steam, but a 90% discount reduces the price to $1.49 until June 2. According to SteamDB, the current discount matches the game’s all-time low, which was last reached in August 2025.

Gunslinger focuses on fast-paced arcade action with bullet time, duels and precise gunplay. Pistols, rifles and shotguns differ noticeably in handling, while concentration skills and combos add extra momentum. The campaign takes players through classic Wild West locations such as gold mines, ghost towns, forests and bandit camps. Our previous article on the game offers a more detailed look at its gameplay, story and structure.

In the Steam reviews, the shooter is praised above all for its creative storytelling, strong Western atmosphere and fast-paced gameplay. Criticism is aimed at the short playtime of around six hours, the linear level design and the lack of a multiplayer mode. Overall, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger currently has around 94% positive ratings from more than 43,000 reviews. On Metacritic, the shooter has a Metascore of 79 and a User Score of 8.1. The title is classified as “Verified” on the Steam Deck.
