* BountyHunter: One way to make money is to track down bandits from Wanted posters. Some can be taken alive, which means you snare them with bolas and walk them to the sheriff's office (or to a horse, to ride to Clintville first, and ''then'' the sheriff's). The ones worth the most have to be captured alive ''and'' can only be found in bandit territory, so have fun with that.

** If you don't complete a major questline and don't kill too many people, [[spoiler:The Murderer is your drunken, abusive father, who was thrown out of the house by your mother when you were young. He burned down the ranch for revenge.]]
** If you follow the Rancher questline, [[spoiler:The Murderer was hired by a jealous rancher.]]
** If you follow the Oil Tycoon questline, [[spoiler:The Murderer was hired by the Tycoon after your mother refused to sell the ranch.]]
** If you follow the Indian questline, [[spoiler:The Murderer was an Indian-hater who killed your family for harboring them years ago.]]
** If you follow the Miss Tressabell questline, [[spoiler:The Murderer was one of her many scorned lovers.]]

* DifficultButAwesome: The rifle. Difficult to master due to having the slowest load, fire, and reload speed in the game, but once mastered a total GameBreaker. Not only do the bullets travel fast and far, but they pierce an infinite number of people *and* objects. As if that wasn't enough, the rifle also increases your range of vision when you take it out.

* LostForever: This ''is'' a game where you can kill anyone before they have the chance to give you a quest, but a number of quests won't be available later if you complete certain other objectives first. You can, for instance, kill the Oil Tycoon with the Ranchers before taking any jobs from him.
* OneHitPolyKill: This is one of the draws of the rifle as a weapon (the others being the long range and high accuracy) -- rifle shots pierce through multiple enemies, allowing you to kill several at once if they're lined up. Or kill some of them and shoot the hats off the others.

A flash Adventure game set in TheWildWest and hosted on Adult Swim Games, Westerado chronicles the story of a young gunslinger out to get revenge on the man who killed his family. The game is free to play and runs in most Internet browsers.

There is also a standalone, high-resolution expanded version of the game known as ''Westerado: Double Barreled'', released on {{Steam}} in April 2015.

!! This game contains examples of the following tropes:

* AllDesertsHaveCacti: Played straight, like in any other Western.
* AllOrNothingReloads: Averted. Revolvers have to be reloaded bullet by bullet.
* AnAxeToGrind: A tomahawk is one of the late-game weapons.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: [[TheGhost Marshall Law]] (mentioned by Sister but never seen). Also invoking PunnyName (see below).
* BreakingTheFourthWall: As with the original version, going on a rampage in ''Double Barreled'' eventually causes "Horde Mode." Only in this version [[spoiler: a director suddenly appears, yelling at you for killing the extras. And then he orders them to kill you.]]
** The [[spoiler: Movie Set can be found in the far north. The Director can be killed safely there, unlike in Horde Mode.]]
* BottomlessMagazines: No matter how many bandits you gun down, you will never run out of bullets.
* BountyHunter: One way to make money is to track down bandits from Wanted posters. Some can be taken alive, which means you snare them with bolas and walk them to the sheriff's office (or to a horse, to ride to Clintville first, and ''then'' the sheriff's). The ones worth the most have to be captured alive ''and'' can only be found in bandit territory, so have fun with that.
* CattleBaron: [[spoiler: Rancher Bob can become this at the end of the Rancher questline.]]
* CompleteImmortality: [[spoiler:The Undertaker.]] Your [[spoiler: Sister]] says that he founded the hundreds-of-years-old [[spoiler: Clintville Graveyard]]. [[TheAgeless If that's true...]]
** On the other hand, since in-universe [[spoiler: this is a movie of sorts, the actor's not really dead if you shot him.]]
* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: The player and all the other gun-wielding characters can only shoot left and right, and can’t even fire up and down, let alone diagonally.
** Does not apply to animals, though. See below.
* DialogueTree: Present and functional.
* DifficultButAwesome: The rifle. Difficult to master due to having the slowest load, fire, and reload speed in the game, but once mastered a total GameBreaker. Not only do the bullets travel fast and far, but they pierce an infinite number of people *and* objects. As if that wasn't enough, the rifle also increases your range of vision when you take it out. That said, it's not useful on horseback due to the slow firing speed and the fact that mounted enemies virtually never get lined up for the piercing multi-kill.
* DramaticGunCock: Since all the guns in this game are single-action revolvers, you have to cock each shot individually (press J to draw your gun, K to cock, and K again to fire). The game's dialogue system also allows you to do this by drawing your gun mid-conversation.
* EscortMission: There are several optional missions where you get to escort carriages from bandit attacks.
* EveryoneIsArmed: Virtually without exception, every male character in the game has a gun (or a bola. And Indians use tomahawks.), which they will draw if a fight breaks out. Most female characters are also armed with shotguns.
* FetchQuest: Some characters will only give you whatever information they know about the killer if you find stuff(i.e. a lost train ticket) for them.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Relatively minor, but brandishing bolas or a tomahawk during a conversation will yield responses about how you should put that gun away.
* GunsAkimbo: It's possible to wield two revolvers at the same time. You can even fire them in both directions at once, which is obviously useful if you're surrounded.
* [[spoiler: JekyllAndHyde]]: [[spoiler: The Tyler Durden ending. Can be played straight with a DownerEnding if you shoot yourself. Massively '''subverted''' if you decide to walk away from your insanity and leave IT to the coyotes.]]
* HatDamage: Interestingly, this is how the game handles extra lives. Getting shot will result in your character's hat flying off and your character pulling another one out of their coat and putting it on. Run out of hats, and you die.
** You can also do this ''to the enemy'': Shoot off their hat, and they'll (usually) surrender and run away. The hat can then be picked up, giving you an extra life.

** As it happens, the hero's brother is a OneHitPointWonder as a playable character because he never wears a hat.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Can be done with the Beefhead Bulls.]]
* MercyKill: In the opening, the player character can do this to his brother at his request (if the player doesn't do it, [[TearJerker the uncle does]]).
** It can also be done to [[spoiler: poor Rancher Richard or The Murderer. It seems you ''have'' to do it to the Murderer to beat the game, since you can't walk away and go the CruelMercy route.]]

** [[spoiler: Sister also mentions that she spoke to the Beefhead Bulls. If you killed all of the Beefhead Bulls at the bridge earlier and ask her to clarify, she makes note that the Bulls had difficult conversation with each other because they were all scared of each other's ghosts.]]

* SpotTheImpostor: At one point in the final stage, three men who resemble the Murderer each run into different tunnels. If you have the Murderer's description complete (or near enough), you can tell which two are the fakes because they don't match it exactly.
