The final game released by the short-lived TAD Corporation, Heated Barrel is a frenetic Western shooter (sheer chaos with four players) that feels like a bit of a hybrid between a typical run-and-gun game and a side-scrolling shooter. Players have more vertical freedom of movement than in some similar games (such as Sunset Riders), which opens up considerably more tactical depth as enemies appear fast and furiously from all directions. The visuals are simpler and more cartoony than in many run-and-gun games, with an emphasis more on action and movement than on pretty stages, which gives Heated Barrel its own niche that's worth a few runs.
