Rock up into any town, and you’ll always find a bounty board that needs clearing, or townsfolk desperate for aid. Concise side quests push you off the beaten track through rocky plains, swamps, and more surprising wintry environments, on your search for fame and fortune. This isn’t only a grizzly and dark world: it’s also one of opportunity. Few Wild West tropes are left on the table, but Weird West isn’t without its own identity. Later, you’ll have more extravagant supernatural abilities to play with, too, like transforming into a werewolf or teleporting short distances.Īdd to that your bullet time ability, which sends you leaping into the air in slow motion, and you’ve got a combat system that’s halfway between The Matrix and a top-down shoot ‘em up. Weird West’s five weapon types – revolvers, rifles, shotguns, bows, and melee – all offer varying combat capabilities that make fights fluid. You have a bevy of skills to upgrade and perks to unlock that’ll shape your character into a gun-toting hero, or saber-tooth monster. In Weird West, you’re only one random encounter away from death one bad decision from game over (before a quick load sends you thirty seconds back in time).

Monstrosities stalk the landscape and mysterious eldritch forces are at work behind the scenes. Weird West presents an alternate version of the Old West infused with magical horror. Not to mention witches who mutate their victims into grotesque anthropomorphic pig hybrids. There are zombies, too, and werewolves and wraiths. Grotesque, shapeshifting cannibals that disguise themselves as outlaws or sheriffs. But then there’s everything you absolutely wouldn’t expect of the setting.
