About Wanted 3D: Dead or Alive
Wanted 3D: Dead or Alive is a Spaghetti Western first-person shooter built on the GZDoom engine. Developed by Pavo Entertainment and released on December 31, 2026, it drops you in a lawless frontier town where you track down former gang members to reclaim a stolen fortune. The game leans into gritty visuals, over-the-top violence, and a campy narrative filled with outlaws and redemption arcs. It’s a fast-paced single-player experience where gunfights, stealth takedowns, and explosive set pieces dominate. The Wild West setting is littered with saloons, dusty trails, and ambushes, all framed through a lens of dark humor and hyper-stylized action.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around shooting, dodging, and looting. You’ll wield revolvers, shotguns, and dynamite to clear bandido camps and storm buildings. Each level forces you to balance ammo conservation with aggressive playstyles, headshots drop enemies instantly, while stealth kills let you bypass patrols. The GZDoom engine adds smooth 60+ FPS performance and mod-friendly visuals, though the game leans into its 2000s roots with simple physics and basic AI. Missions mix open-ended exploration (searching for hidden caches) with scripted shootouts, including a standout sequence where you ride a runaway stagecoach while fending off bandits. Controls are standard FPS fare, but the clunky aiming mechanics and limited cover options may frustrate players expecting modern refinements.
What Players Think
PlayPile data shows a 78% completion rate and average playtime of 11.2 hours. Community sentiment is mixed: 45% label it a "wild ride," while 30% call it "derivative." Critics praised the game’s ambition (72/100 on average) but noted underdeveloped side quests and repetitive boss fights. Achievement data reveals 89% of players unlocked the "Duelist’s Honor" badge by winning 20 one-on-one gunfights, but only 22% completed the main story in under 10 hours. The price point of $39.99 has sparked debate, with 65% of reviews on PC calling it "overpriced for the content."
PlayPile's Take
Wanted 3D is a chaotic, over-the-top shooter that thrives on style but stumbles on polish. It’s best for fans of retro FPS mechanics and Spaghetti Western tropes who can overlook clunky combat and thin dialogue. The $40 price tag is a tough sell given the 12-hour campaign, but the mod-friendly GZDoom engine and 30+ achievements make it a cult pick for tinkerers. Skip if you crave modern gunplay or deep storytelling, stick with it if you enjoy wild, unapologetic action.
