Macgamestore.com has begun selling Westward II: Heroes of the Frontier. Developed by Sandlot Games, the game takes place after the previous settlement of Hope River has been destroyed by the Mad Russian. Players take control of three different pioneers as they try to build settlements and establish a new outpost in an unexplored area, the Oxford Bend. Gamers must gather resources, overcome natural disasters and work towards uncovering the Mad Russian’s base of operations.
The title includes over 20 buildings, more than 30 items and upgrades, and a new Sandbox mode. Users can also strive to obtain awards during play, which are given according to specific in-game accomplishments. Westward II requires Mac OS X 10.4, and is currently priced at $20. A free trial version is also available, though limited to 60 minutes of play.
