The player can buy weapons at shops and kill non-player characters (NPCs), and it is possible to call Jack Barnes's acquired horse to give a ride.

An American Old West-themed light gun shooter, the game sees the player shooting at targets ranging from vultures, balloons and flying sombreros to armed robbers, angry gold diggers and renegade soldiers across a number of environments such as saloons, cemeteries and a speeding steam locomotive.

[13] Official Nintendo Magazine praised the variety in settings and the interactive environments, and the simple point and shoot gameplay, though they felt genre experts might find it too easy.

[10] Nintendo Life felt the game was "addictive and attractive" and "very well executed", and highlighted the depth in gameplay that requires players to carefully choose their shots to score the most points.
