Greg Micek writes: "The story of Hard West is an interesting one for a few reasons. First of all the premise is unique; an XCom style strategy game in the old west. That's not something we've seen very often (if ever). Secondly, the campaign itself started off very rough, and was quite slow out of the gate. A number of people had already written off the Hard West campaign as a lesson to be learned; but the developers stuck it out and now, with 4 days left in its Kickstarter campaign, Hard West has crushed its funding goal and is deep into stretch goal territory. We recently spoke with Hard Wests' lead designer, Kacper Szymczak, about the game, the Kickstarter, and even some poetry."
