Demajen tries... | West of Dead
3Sometimes all a game needs is a really cool art style and trailer to get me interested. Such was the case for "West of Dead", a game which turns out to be a supernatural Western roguelike where Jesse Mcree from Overwatch is voiced by Ron Perlman and has turned into the Ghost Rider. Or something.
Two and a bit runs of this twin-stick shooter roguelike experience is just enough to wet your whistle and allow a glimpse of what they're aiming for — with occasionally janky results.
ABOUT THIS GAME
---------------------------------
Purgatory, Wyoming, 1888.
A place of gun smoke and darkness, sin and damnation, wendigos and witches. A shifting, chaotic world that takes its form from the memories, culture or beliefs of the souls who pass through. When a dead man awakens with only the memory of a figure in black, he sets into motion a chain of events that have truly mythic consequences.
Step into the boots of the dead man William Mason (voiced by Ron Perlman) and descend into the grim and gritty world of Purgatory in this cover-based shooter which combines the fluidity of twin-stick controls and tactical cover usage. Put your skills to the test - Dodge behind cover as you try to outgun your enemies in the unknown procedurally generated hunting grounds. The Wild West has never been this dark.
