Dillon’s Rolling Western now available in eShop

This morning’s Nintendo Direct video featured a pleasant surprise for fans of the company’s original 3DS eShop games: Dillon’s Rolling Western is available for purchase right now.

First impressions: It looks great, controls well, and the gameplay’s fun. The terrific main character is saddled (not literally) with an incredibly annoying sidekick/helper. One concern is the lousy tutorial intro that throws you into battle with very foggy details regarding how to accomplish your goal. Overall, it shows a lot of promise; I’m looking forward to spending more time with it.

Is this action-adventure/tower-defense/western/fantasy worth $9.99? Stay tuned…
