Far Far West: The Indie Hit Everyone’s Talking About (But Where’s the Yeehaw Button?)

Steam has just welcomed a new indie sensation, Far Far West, a thrilling cooperative shooter featuring robot cowboys. This title has quickly risen to the top of Steam’s sales charts following its early access launch this week. Developed by the talented team at Evil Raptor, this is their first foray into the FPS genre, and it’s already making waves with an impressive 250,000 sales in just two days!

What’s even more exciting? The game currently boasts an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, with around 9,000 reviews praising it as a fantastic blend of gameplay reminiscent of Deep Rock Galactic and Helldivers. Players are raving about it, calling it “one of the best co-op shooters available.”

However, amidst all the excitement, a glaring feature is missing: a good old-fashioned yeehaw button! Anyone familiar with the joy of playing Deep Rock Galactic knows the thrill of using the salute button to shout “ROCK AND STONE!” in celebration of their achievements. Whether it’s surviving a horde of bugs or simply waiting for a buddy in the hub, that one-button camaraderie is priceless.

Unfortunately, despite its spirit capturing the essence of games like Deep Rock Galactic, Far Far West launched without an option for players to express themselves through a hearty yeehaw. Fans are taking to the subreddit and Discord to voice their concerns, with one player stating in a post, “The game needs a yeehaw button like nothing else.” It seems like many players feel strongly about this missing feature, with some even saying their first thought upon loading the game was, “Why no yeehaw button?”

Fortunately, the folks at Evil Raptor are listening! A moderator on their Discord server has opened a thread to gather ideas for potential in-game chants. While suggestions range from quirky phrases like “to the West” to “better lead than undead,” many are advocating for a simple solution: let’s just have a bunch of distinct yeehaws!

As the gaming community embraces this charming title, let’s hope that the developers consider this feedback and give players what they crave. After all, what’s a cowboy without a good yeehaw?
