honestly, this is just a nice short schock fest of a game, that is simple, fun, and easy to get into and beat. no over arching huge story, its a tad silly and B movie esk, and thats perfectly alright. its a fun time if you like action games like god of war. a good recommend for me as a busy adult who doesnt have to many hours to play games anymore

From the same developer that made the Shadow Warrior reboot games. Evil West is a third-person action/adventure beat-em-up. Now mixing the western genre with the paranormal is one of my favorite combinations ever. The game scratches that itch but not completely. If you're expecting a huge amount of different monsters/cryptids sadly this is not the game. The main monster/villain of the game is vampires. You have regular human vampires, actual giant vampire bats, hybrid enemies and then your regular human enemies. What I find odd is why the developer didn't implement a combo/ranking system. Something accustomed to a game like Devil May Cry. For this reason there is zero consequences for playing poorly (besides dying obivously). The game also gets really repetitive because of this. The skill ceiling isn't too high so anyone can pick it up. Once you get the best overpowered upgrades the game does become a bit of a breeze. Even being able to play the hardest difficulty on NG+ makes it a cakewalk. While there are other weapons the gauntlet is your main bread and butter. The weapons/tools you get throughout the game just spice things up a bit or can save you in a dire situation. The developer took the glory kill idea from Doom '16 as a way to gather health/energy. There is a heal button but it has a cooldown. The guns have infinite ammo but do weak to moderate damage depending on the enemy type. They are best used to shoot enemies in their weakpoints when they flash on screen. The story is nothing amazing and all the characters are pretty one note. I do like the whole idea of a guild of monster slayers operating in the 1800's. And it really opens potential for a sequel(s). If the dev was to consider the idea I would love to see wendigos/skinwalkers as the main monsters. They are extremely under utilized. They would fit the western setting pretty well. I played the game solo, twice, so I can't really comment on how the game is in co-op. But the game solely feels like a single player experience. I think the dev just added co-op because "everything is better with friends" adage. Good news for achievement hunters is the game's 100% is pretty easy. There is also no achievements involving mutiplayer/co-op so you're safe from having to drag a friend to help. The game can also be beaten in one sitting. All in all, I'd like to see a sequel but add in that combo/ranking system.

Evil west is a pretty good game, we don't have enough urban fantasy type games out there much less in the "Weird West" flavor. Its got style, flair, decent characters, good combat and simple but fun to use mechanics. So whats wrong with it? why isn't it a big hit like Devil May cry a series it clearly takes some nods from. I think it largely boils down to 2 factors. 1. Boring arenas, Evil West feels like it would have benefitted greatly from more open ended combat like more traditional games but instead it leans heavily into the arena combat style where you enter a large and very obvious arena to fight baddies, most fights seem to boil down to 1 or 2 main bad guys with a handfull of lesser bad guys, sometimes its 2 big bads and when one dies minions start pouring in. It becomes REALLY by the numbers after a while to the point of boredom. It would have benefitted the game greatly to have enemies scattered throughout, we could still use the arenas for mini bosses or the like but the current format just feels really boring. 2. The enemies themselves. Alot of the enemies, particularly the vampires feel dull, they aren't visually striking. Some are a chaotic jumble of metal and flesh and while on paper this sounds good the actual result comes off uninspired. Its a shame because theres some real talent here, animations are smooth and crisp, the fighting feels pretty good and the style of the weapons is the perfect flavor of steam punk meets practical weaponry, you even get some basic customization in the form of skins. Evil West feels like a game out of time, it feels like it would have been a PERFECT game for the 360 back in the 2010s but by today's standards it feels a tad late to the party. Its still a pretty good game and definitely solid from a mechanic standpoint but I just feel like its missing that one piece to make it really pop.

Evil West is a third person action game where player character Jesse Rentier hunts vampires in a wild west setting. You’ll fight against vampires, werewolves and other monsters using a mixture of melee attacks and ranged weapons. I think the game wants you to focus on melee brawling, using combos, blocks and stuns, however I preferred to play it more like a third person shooter. You can use a pistol, rifle, shotgun, flamethrower, gatling gun, and throw sticks of dynamite. You’ve essentially got infinite ammo, but every weapon reloads on a cooldown. However, with so many weapons, it wasn’t a problem to keep switching between them. Each weapon has a few upgrades that can be bought with gold found lying around the levels. Normal difficulty was quite challenging, especially during the second half of the game, but it never became frustrating. Many encounters include larger mini-boss enemies supported by several smaller minions, and there are usually several waves of enemies per encounter. Its easy to get surrounded and hit from off screen, so you have to be constantly moving and dodging to stay alive. Bosses are actually a bit easier because they’re mostly 1v1 fights, so you can properly focus on learning their attack patterns to avoid taking damage. As you travel through small towns, canyons, and underground caves, the level design is very linear, apart from the occasional side paths where you can find hidden chests containing extra gold and some rare upgrades. There are plenty of invisible walls keeping you on the main path, while you can only climb up or drop off ledges at designated interaction points. Story is fine, it just feels a bit like its on fast forward because completing a level takes you immediately back to base where you’ll have one quick conversation and then you’re straight back into another level. Voice acting is also fine, although one small detail that annoys me about the dialogue is how characters regularly refer to vampires as “ticks”, which reminds me of the various Walking Dead TV shows which refuse to say the word “zombie”. It took me 11 hours to complete the story. I didn’t have any problems with bugs, crashes, or framerate. Controls are fully rebindable and although clearly designed for a gamepad (you can tell by how the UI shows skills in a + layout like a D-pad), I made them work with mouse and keyboard. Overall Evil West is an average quality game, with nothing about it standing out as either particularly good or bad. Buy it on a deep sale.

This game feels like it would be at home in the era of the Xbox 360/PS3 with its B-movie-like plot and beat 'em up gameplay (which granted is more refined from that era of games). If you want a blast of from the past of that era with a modern spin I would recommend it but don't go in expecting a masterpiece.
