Overview

Lucky Luke is a side-scrolling shooter game that occasionally has stages that use Z-axis movement. The gameplay mostly consists of jumping puzzles and gunfights against stationary enemies that pop up at certain spots within the levels. Just like in the comics, the violence is toned down, with enemies not actually being lethally shot and instead just getting their weapons shot out of their hands.

Though based on the comic book character of the same name, Lucky Luke does not actually retell a particular story from the comics. It does use a recurring theme from the comic books, though: the Dalton Brothers - Joe, Jack, William and Averell (the fictional dumb cousins of the real Daltons) - have escaped from prison and Lucky Luke subsequently is tasked with recapturing them one by one.

The chase takes the iconic cartoon cowboy through a number of typical western locations also often seen in the comics, resulting in levels that are set in places like a western town, a mine, a train or a Native American camp.
