* SoBadItsGood: For a game trying to parody the Western genre and have comedic elements in it, it fails so hard that it somehow warps back to being hysterical.

Although there's a possibility Delta 4 was trying to ''invoke'' this trope, given how little effort they even ''bother'' putting into it, so it may get into StylisticSuck territory.

** The cutscene where the man with the cigarette asks a Creator/LeeVanCleef expy if he can give him the time. The latter looks at his poorly drawn stopwatch with a creepy real-life photo of a girl for about 20 seconds while loud organ music plays before just saying "no".

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: As [[SoBadItsGood hilariously bad]] as the cutscenes are, you're definitely better off watching them [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeV18bZGMqc online]] than trying to endure this game's simultaneously monotonous and frustrating gameplay.

* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: As While the cutscenes are [[SoBadItsGood hilariously bad]] as very entertaining]], actually playing the game can be quite a pain, since you lose all your progress if you fail any of the shootout segments, and none of the cutscenes are, you're definitely are skippable.

* ThatOneBoss: Wildcard [=McVee=] for being the cheapest boss in the game. Just finding him is a pain in the first place, as he only appears when you choose to play cards in the saloon after defeating Crafty Clint; your opponent is the Bartender if you play the card game any other time. Beat him and he challenges you to a duel outside. However, he's actually lying and will instead shoot you dead without warning unless you immediately gun him down ''before'' he finishes making his offer for a duel. [[TrialAndErrorGameplay There's no way to know this in advance either.]]

* ObviousBeta: On a purely technical level, the graphics are obviously unfinished in several places, and the voice samples often cut off prematurely on the CDTV version (though they generally play fine on the PC version). A look through the game's files also indicates that it was originally meant to be more of a full-on adventure game, rather than the BossGame that it effectively ended up as. Even then, one of Evil Eb's gang members, Immortal Isaac, never actually appears in-game, and only Wildcard McVee has any sort of puzzle associated with him.
