Overview
Description

Westward is a strategy game set in the Old West where players guide a cast of characters through frontier towns. Starting at Camp Chippewa, you learn the basics before expanding your settlements and confronting threats. Manage resources, hire gunslingers or sheriffs, and deal with bandits, plagues, and natural disasters while enjoying witty western puns. The game supports single‑player, multiplayer, and co‑operative modes for kids and families.

In Westward 3 you guide three pioneers as they turn a dusty California settlement into a thriving boomtown. Customize your town with over 50 buildings, luxuries, and upgrades while fending off bandits who want to steal your hard‑earned wealth. Explore uncharted terrain rich in natural resources, gather supplies, and manage gold rush speculation to create a prosperous frontier community.
