Don’t be expecting God of War style environmental puzzles, fleshed out narrative or side quests because there aren’t any. The combat is well implemented, highly satisfying and the range of weapons and attacks available to the player is pleasingly varied. Which is just as well as you’ll be doing a lot of it.
punch an enemy into a pile of TNT or shoot said dynamite to unleash an explosion.Īs you progress through Evil West your arsenal is expanded by the likes of a flamethrower, crossbow, shotgun and an electrocuting “zapper”. It is incredibly satisfying to upper cut a vampire into the air then train your revolver on it for a follow up attack! There are also basic environmental attacks where you can e.g. Jessie’s different assaults can be tied together into combos which can combine both his punch attack and a gun. The ranged attacks are not limited by ammo so there is no aspect of resource management in Evil West – instead they are all confined by cooldown periods which compel the player to use their different weapons sparingly and strategically. We start the game with a simple combination of punching and shooting but this is quickly and steadily added to by more exotic means of destruction. Jessie has a wide range of attacks and weapons at his disposal, covering both melee and ranged strikes. The core gameplay mechanics of Evil West are all about the combat. Well, for those who fall into that category there is a lot to enjoy about Evil West. Plus, most people came here for some mindless vampire slaying, not a compelling narrative, right? It’s never really explained how America came to find itself in this predicament, we just have to run with this state of affairs. Jessie is the leading member of this institute and is joined by his father and a small supporting cast of other agents, engineers and doctors. The story revolves around an organisation called the Rentier Institute which leads the war against the vampires that America is plagued with for. The game is set in a fictionalised version of the American Wild West, blending in elements of horror and steampunk in an intriguing but ultimately unsatisfying manner. The player takes control of Jessie Rentier, a big tough cowboy vampire hunter (yip, you read that correctly) with a range of custom weaponry which enables him to mow down swathes of creatures of the night.
