Far Far West launched on Steam Early Access on April 28, 2026, and it runs on more devices than you might expect. The game is a 1-to-4 player co-op shooter where robot cowboys take on bounty contracts in a supernatural Wild West, mixing six-shooters and elemental magic against undead hordes and screen-filling bosses. Whether you're running it on a gaming PC, a handheld like the ROG Ally, or streaming it to your phone, getting the settings right makes a real difference in how the game feels.
What kind of game is Far Far West?
Developed by Evil Raptor and published by Fireshine Games, Far Far West is an Action/Adventure co-op shooter currently in Early Access on Steam. You pick up bounty jobs from the Town Sheriff, ride out on robot horses through cursed deserts, haunted mines, and ghost towns, then fight through enemy waves and massive bosses before catching a train back to safety. Combat mixes six-shooters and rifles with elemental magic, so you're swapping between gunfire and fireballs mid-fight. The game supports both single-player and online co-op for up to 4 players.

Best settings for the ROG Ally and ROG Ally X
According to testing documented by ROG Ally Life on April 28, 2026, Far Far West runs solid on the ROG Ally at 1080p. Here's what the numbers look like in practice:
- At 25W TDP, the game averages 50 to 60 FPS at 1080p
- Dropping to 18W TDP keeps you at 40+ FPS at 1080p, which is reasonable for a co-op shooter that isn't frame-rate-dependent at the competitive level
To get there, open Armoury Crate, tap Settings, select Operating Mode, then switch to Manual Mode. From the Command Center, push the TDP slider to your target wattage. For VRAM, set it to 8GB or above through the ROG Ally VRAM settings.
If your battery is draining faster than expected, drop to 18W. You'll still get playable frame rates and the game won't feel sluggish in most encounters.
Graphics settings: 25/30W profile (1080p)
These settings are confirmed by ROG Ally Life's April 28, 2026 benchmarks for the 25W/30W power mode:
The 18W profile uses the exact same settings. The difference is in TDP, not in the graphics configuration itself.
Why AMD FSR on Performance?
AMD FSR set to Performance mode is doing a lot of work here. At 1080p on the ROG Ally's display, the upscaling artifacts are minimal, and the frame rate gains are significant enough to justify it. Frame Generation stays off because the ROG Ally's hardware doesn't benefit from it the way a desktop GPU would, and the added latency hurts a fast-paced shooter more than it helps.
How to play Far Far West on mobile (iOS and Android)
There is currently no native mobile version of Far Far West. The game has no official Android or iOS release date announced as of April 2026. The only way to play it on a phone or tablet right now is through remote desktop streaming.
The solution documented by StarDesk is straightforward: your PC runs the full game, and your mobile device becomes the screen and controller. StarDesk is a free remote gaming tool that supports iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows, with streaming up to 4K and 144 FPS on supported hardware and networks.
How to set it up in three steps
- Install Far Far West on your host PC and make sure Steam launches normally
- Download StarDesk on both your PC and your mobile device, then sign in to the same account on both
- Open StarDesk on your phone or tablet, connect to your PC, and launch Far Far West from the desktop remotely
Your phone doesn't store the game. Your PC handles all the processing, saves, and Steam updates. The phone just displays and controls.
A wired network connection on the host PC makes a real difference. Wi-Fi on the PC side introduces latency that makes the fast-paced shooting and spell-casting feel noticeably sluggish.
What are the best mobile settings for Far Far West?
For phone play, the StarDesk guide recommends:
- Landscape mode
- Start at 1080p and 60 FPS streaming quality
- Drop resolution if your network is unstable
- Use a Bluetooth controller for combat-heavy sessions
- Keep action buttons (fire, aim, jump, reload, interact, spells) near your thumbs
For tablet play, bump streaming to 1080p or higher if your Wi-Fi is strong. The larger screen makes a genuine difference for spotting enemies, managing upgrades, and reading mission objectives. A controller paired via Bluetooth is still the recommended input method for co-op missions.
Key mapping for touch controls
If you prefer touch over a controller, StarDesk's Key Mapping editor lets you place custom buttons anywhere on screen. The most useful bindings for Far Far West according to the StarDesk guide are:
- W / A / S / D for movement
- Left mouse button for shooting
- Right mouse button for aiming or alternate fire
- R for reload
- E for interact
- Space for jump
- Shift for sprint or dash
- Number keys for spells and abilities
- Tab for mission or inventory panels
- Esc for menus
To access the editor: connect to your PC in StarDesk, tap Panel, enable Key Mapping, then tap KeysEdit. Check for an official preset under Switch Control Scheme → Official Plan before building your own layout from scratch.
Performance comparison: ROG Ally vs. mobile streaming
Controller input is recommended across all mobile and handheld setups for Far Far West. The game's fast combat, spell casting, and dodging are noticeably harder to manage on touch-only controls during boss fights.
