Halloween may have been so last month, but Focus Entertainment is bringing in the spooks with their gothic fantasy cowboy shooter Evil West. The game has officially launched, and we get a new preview to hype up the release.
Watch this:
Here’s the official description:
A dark menace consumes the American frontier. As one of the last agents in a top-secret vampire-hunting institute, you are the final line between humanity and a deep-rooted terror that now emerges from the shadows. Rise up to become a Wild West Superhero, eradicate the vampire threat and save the United States!
In visceral, explosive combat, unleash hell with your firearms, lightning-fueled gauntlet and gadgets. Kill bloodthirsty monstrosities in style as a lone hunter or in co-op with a friend. Explore and fight in a narrative-driven campaign while upgrading your weapons and hunting tools. Unlock new perks to evolve your monster-slaying mastery, crafting your own playstyle to ultimately defeat the supernatural hordes.
Early reviews for the game don’t really say much about story, but there is a lot of praise when it comes to gameplay. The western and goth fantasy genre have been around for a while, so when you bring them together, sparks are sure to fly.
Who knows, if they got the DC license, this could have made for one hell of a Jonah Hex game. Maybe that’s an idea they should float around at WB Games.
Evil West is now available for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 4|5.
