Weird West Released [Mar 31, 2022, 11:18 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
It's high noon for Weird West, which is now available for PC,
PlayStation, and Xbox. This is a stylized RPG set in a version of the wild west
that lives up to the "weird" in the title. The
launch trailer offers
a look at that weirdness and the game's cel shaded graphics. You can pick up the
Windows edition on GOG.com*, the
Epic Games Store,
the
Humble Store*, or
Steam.
Here's more on the debut title from WolfEye Studios, which was formed by Arkane
Studios veterans Raphael Colantonio and Julien Roby:
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 the choices you make. Form a posse or venture forth alone into an otherworldly confines of the Weird West and make each legend your own.*Blue's News may receive a commission on sales of this item.
If you let the perfectly serviceable graphics keep you away from the game, you're going to miss out on some stellar gameplay.
It might look like Commandos, but it doesn't have the forced 'just one solution allowed here' puzzle aspect.
Instead it uses a Deus Ex 'three paths to any point' design combined with tons of emergent physical and metaphysical mechanics, handing the tools to the player to play how they want.
This game will be classed with Fallout 1 / 2 and Arcanum in future.
