From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_West):
Evil West is a third-person shooter video game developed by Flying Wild Hog and published by Focus Entertainment. The game was released on 22 November 2022 for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
Evil West is a third-person shooter. In the game, the player assumes control of Jesse Rentier, a vampire hunter. Jesse is equipped with several powerful firearms including a six-shot revolver, a lever-action rifle, and a flamethrower. He also has access to various melee attacks through a specialized gauntlet capable of accumulating electrical energy. Enemies can be stunned and staggered following a melee attack, allowing players to execute them using a special finisher move. Players can also use the environment to their advantage. For instance, they can kick enemies into a spike trap, or shoot explosive barrels. Players will occasionally encounter boss characters, which are powerful enemies with unique attack patterns. As the player progresses in the game, they will level up and gain new skills and abilities. The campaign can be played cooperatively with another player.[2][3]
Jesse Rentier (portrayed by Derek Hagen), one of the last agents of a clandestine vampire-hunting organization, must protect the American frontier from supernatural monstrosities.[4]
Jesse Rentier is an agent of the Rentier Institute, a secret organization dedicated to battling supernatural creatures such as the Sanguisuge A.K.A "Ticks", vampires that have accepted the "Gift of Change" found in blood and prey on humanity. Working together with retired agent Edgar Gravenor (Damian Lynch), they ambush a vampire informant named Chester Morgan, who smuggles blood and lower Sanguisuge beasts for the Highborn vampires. Using his info, they follow the trail of Peter D'Abano (John Chancer), a Highborn vampire that advocates for evolving the Sanguisuge through controlling the Change and declaring war on humanity before their technology develops to the point where it wipes the Sanguisuge out. The Sanguisuge leadership, wanting to stay in the shadows and believing that controlling the Change is blasphemous, reject D'Abano's plan and sentence him and his entire lineage to true death. Jesse and Edgar then ambush D'Abano and capture his head, taking it back to the Manor, the Rentier Institute's headquarters, to be added to their Archives of still-living, talking heads of slain Sanguisuge.
Upon arriving, Jesse has a tense argument with his father William (Brian Protheroe), who wants Jesse to quit being a field agent and take over William's position as head of the Institute. That night is a presentation in front of Assistant Secretary of War James Harrow (Kerry Shale) of a special Gauntlet capable of breaking the magical Glamours the Sanguisuge use to hide themselves and block their lairs. However, D'Abano's daughter Felicity (Emma Ballantine) attacks the Manor with an army of Sanguisige, killing most of the staff and agents stationed there and recovering D'Abano's head. With William critically wounded, Jesse, Edgar, and Harrow flee to the nearby city of Calico where they make contact with the local Rentier Institute cell, led by Dr. Emilia Blackwell (Antonia Bernath). Suspecting that William may have been infected with vampirism by Felicity, Edgar heads off by himself to find a possible cure in the form of a plant known as La Orchid de la Vida from Lake Maurepas. Meanwhile, Jesse works with engineer Vergil Olney to repair the Gauntlet after overusing it fighting off pursuing Sanguisuge.
Evil West was developed by Polish studio Flying Wild Hog, the developer of the Shadow Warrior series. The game's combo system was inspired by the Devil May Cry series, while the third-person perspective and melee combat were inspired by 2018's God of War.[2]
Flying Wild Hog and publisher Focus Entertainment announced their partnership in September 2020.[5] The game was announced at The Game Awards 2020.[6] The game was initially set to be released on 20 September 2022 for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, but was later delayed to 22 November 2022.[7][8]
Evil West received "mixed or average" reviews for the PC and PlayStation 5 versions, while the Xbox Series X/S version received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[23][24][25]
