Secret Ponchos is an arena shooter set in a Spaghetti Western universe and inspired by elements of League of Legends and Team Fortress 2 .
The game uses twin stick controls and shows the characters in the environment from an elevated third-person, almost top-down perspective.

The fighting mechanics are reminiscent of the close combat in ARTS/MOBA games.
There are different outlaws to choose from with very different abilities with generally two types of weapons or attacks with unlimited ammo, but also reload times.
Characters can seek cover, have to use the environment and can evade in various ways, emphasizing a skill-based approach to fights as most attacks require very precise aiming for both direction and distance, anticipating the opponent's movement and capitalizing on mistakes.
The game was first released for the PC as an alpha version and early access title in June 2014.
In December 2014 it was officially released for the PS4 as a commercial title, but also right away free for all PlayStation Plus users and with only optional alternative character skins as DLC.
The PC version left early access in October 2015 as Most Wanted Edition , a heavily expanded version compared to the PS4 edition.
In February 2015 the PS4 received the Hunting Ground update that introduced Plaza and The Mines as two additional free maps.
On 24th February the two characters Gordo and The Wolf were introduced as commercial DLC for the PS4.
The first official release as a PS4 version was with five characters (Deserter, Kid Red, Killer, Matador and Phantom Poncho) and four maps.
Each outlaw has a primary and a secondary weapon with multiple options.
Kid Red for instance has two firing modes (rapid shots and twin blast) for the primary weapon, and the secondary weapon is dynamite that can be tossed from a distance.
Other characters such as the Matador rely entirely on close combat with a banderilla, sword and cape, while the Deserter has a medkit as a secondary function.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Secret of Evangelion [Asuka Edition] for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Secret of Evangelion [Asuka Edition] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2006.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Secret of Evangelion [Asuka Edition], suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 2 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
