Story
CYBER COWBOYS is an idle Western RPG that runs on a simulated retro desktop operating system. Create your cowboy, step into the lawless frontier, and build your legacy — one bullet, one bounty, and one bar fight at a time.

Forge weapons and armor at the anvil. Salvage gear by rarity. Every piece of equipment matters when a outlaw is aiming at...
