The Real Texas is an action adventure game that plays like a mashup of Zelda: Link to the Past and Ultima VI.

Sam, and ordinary Texas rancher, is on holiday in England when he falls into a blue portal and lands in The Strange Texas.

FPS Control, Retro Vibe

The Real Texas is a bona-fide old-school top-down adventure game, but with guns instead of swords. It controls like a first person shooter where you aim with the mouse and move with the keyboard.

There's no health bar; instead, combat is intuitive and takes a blend of strategy, reflexes, and luck. The pace is quick and things stay interesting: you're never left to slog it out, but always hunting for the right rhythm.

Awesomely Explorey

Sam finds himself in The Strange Texas, which is really just a sort-of satire of our own world. When you're not shooting stuff you'll be rooting through people's houses, collecting items, and getting clues from NPCs.

Objects usually have a few purposes, and while there are definite solutions to the main quests in the game, there's also lot of optional secret-hunting and easter eggs, if you're into that kind of thing.

Rats! (Kinda gross...)
A short video showcasing everybody's favorite vermin. It's not a real RPG without RATS!! There are no collect-quests though, I promise. =)

Technical Mumbo-jumbo

The Real Texas has modest system requirements; you'll need a computer that has basic 3D graphics and a decent processor. If you bought your computer in the past 5 years or so, or even if it's a little bit older, it should do the trick:

  • CPU: Pentium 4 or better recommented.
  • Memory: 512MB RAM recommended.
  • Graphics: OpenGL 1.2 capable graphics card (most on-board graphics support this.)
  • Control: Keyboard + Mouse.
