The Wild West genre has been a popular trope in modern games, and while we have some fantasy mixed in here and there, it’s WolfEye Studios’ Weird West that leans in on the concept.
The game launched in 2022 with great reviews, and now the studio is set to launch the ‘Definitive Edition.’ Check out the trailer:
Here’s the official description of the game:
Survive and unveil the mysteries of the Weird West through the intertwined destinies of its unusual heroes in an Action RPG from the co-creators of Dishonored and Prey.
Discover a dark fantasy reimagining of the Wild West where lawmen and gunslingers share the frontier with fantastical creatures. Journey through the story of a group of atypical heroes, written into legend by the decisions you make in an unforgiving land. Each journey is unique and tailored to the actions taken – a series of high-stakes adventures where everything counts, and the world reacts to your choices. Form a posse or venture forth alone into the otherworldly confines of the Weird West and make each legend your own.
With games like Red Dead Redemption being lauded for how expansive they can be, Weird West has been praised for its RPG elements, emphasizing the consequences of your decisions and how they affect the game.
Though the Wild West is always a great idea for shooters, this one should be fun for anyone who prefers RPGs.
Weird West is now available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 4|5.
