Cactus McCoy and the Curse of Thorns 2011
Developed by Flipline Studios
- Platform, Hack and slash/Beat 'em up, Action
A treasure hunter for hire, with a curse on his soul, and a bounty on his head. The ancient Curse of Thorns has taken hold of its latest victim, a man now known across the Wild West as Cactus McCoy. It all started when McCoy was hired by Hex Hatfield to find the Thorned Emerald. Unaware of the jewel's curse, McCoy was transformed into a walking, talking, brawling cactus. Now it is a race against time to bring the Thorned Emerald back to its proper home before Cactus McCoy is turned to a lifeless stone cactus. This platforming brawler game will have you wielding tons of weapons as you traverse a strange Wild West world of hidden treasures and seemingly endless enemigos. Can you become the toughest Cactus in town, and break the ancient Curse of Thorns? When a routine treasure hunt goes awry, McCoy is transformed into a walking cactus by the ancient Curse of Thorns. McCoy's mission is to return the Thorned Emerald to its true home. If he fails, the curse will continue until he is a lifeless, stone cactus.
