Publisher Devolver Digital announces A Fistful of Gun, a top-down western shooter in development at FarmerGnome for release for Windows in the spring of next year (if there's a sequel, it'd better be called For a Few Gun More). The Steam page for the game is already live, and word is the game will be playable at PAX Prime, which kicks off one week from today. Here's an old video showing off the original freeware version of this, and here's word on the game's humble origins:

Originally roaming the open range of the internet as a freeware project, A Fistful of Gun has sauntered back into town as an epic tale of vengeance set against a brilliantly colorful American frontier full of dangerous cutthroats. Select one of 11 unique playable gunslingers and seek revenge as a lone wolf or with up to eight other bandits in local and online co-op. Master the specialized controls of each character, collect gold from fallen foes to purchase upgrades, and imbibe a bit of liquid courage and unleash a tornado of lead across the dusty plains.

“A Fistful of Gun is awesome and easily the second best western game ever made,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “Red Dead Redemption is still the best though. That game was incredible.”
