My Casual Games

Wild West Wendy follows in the tradition of Diner Dash, but this time you’re in the rowdy, rough wild west. Help Wendy tend bar, break up fights, and shoot robbers. It’s an exciting game, and the challenges just keep getting better and better.

In the game, you start off as a bartender serving beers, but you eventually end up running a fancy saloon! There are 45 levels in all. You can play in 3 modes - Story, Campaign, and Timed Attack. You can also choose to play 3 different levels - Easy, Medium and Hard. One of the best twists is that you can choose to play 3-minute or 10-minute rounds - change them depending on how much time you have.

There’s a lot going on in the story mode of this game. Wendy has to return lost cows, find out if the the town’s undertaker is a vampire, and discover whether another guy is a ghost. All of this while fighting against an evil competitor saloon owner who’s part of Wendy’s traumatic past.

One of the funniest parts of the game is that between rounds, you get to read the Mystery Epitaph, a truly funny newspaper that blends commentary on yesteryear (”Sending Morse Signals”, for instance) with commentary on today (the townsfolk complain that the kids are SMSing way too much). Very clever!

Besides the gameplay, the other elements of this game are great. The images are fun (and funny) and the cut-scene cartoons are top-notch. The music is pretty good - I didn’t get annoyed with it like I have in other games.

Mystery Studio Games (the makers of Wild West Wendy) have done a great job of adding touches to improve the “serve the customers” game. Click here to play a free hour-long trial or download the game for only $19.95.
