The Weird West is set in the Weird West – it’s like the Wild West but featuring cowboys, Indians, oneir witches, the cult of the werewolf, insane pig-men, and many other manifestations the supernatural.

In this game, you’ll be able to relive five stories in order. The story follows a former mercenary who returns to arms after her son and husband are abducted by cannibals newly-converted pig-herder that retains his ability to concentrate during the process of transformation, and the story of a Native American who goes on an adventure that is dangerous under the direction of a tribal chief; and many more characters that are different but linked through a mysterious mark in the neck. The entire deck is presented in the final. However, the game can know how to keep the audience engaged and keeps the game intriguing until the very final.

The journey of the heroes’ characters runs through farms, cities, mining abandoned settlements, and monster hideouts. As they travel around the world, map players discover new areas that can be entered. When in the town, he gazes at the saloon, the pharmacist, and the armorer. assistants to help him keep company and purchase an animal for more relaxed travel. If he’s interested, he should visit the bulletin board. There is an excellent chance to run a few errands to catch criminals with a considerable reward. The money earned in the Weird West is badly needed since explosives, ammunition, and weapons aren’t just lying around in the open.

Therefore, you must take every job you can get. NPCs are always willing to offer tasks. However, it’s important to remember that many of them are restricted in time. And if you are not in a rush, you cannot complete the mission. Traveling can take hours or days on the map. Therefore, you must think about your travel plans ahead of time. While you’re probably able to complete it on time, even if you do all of your shopping in one go, the game is pretty faithful in this way.

Population points are interesting not just as locations to grant quests or purchase equipment. Weird West is an immersive game, which means that the player is given the freedom to move around. You can go into any building, steal whatever you’d like if you want to engage in conflicts with locals, or even carve out the whole city. For this, an additional achive is available.

Every action will reflect on the character’s image, assist anyone you meet, and consistently accomplish tasks. You’ll earn an extra reward from karma or favor from traders. murder and steal from people before civilians. You’ll be judged for an infraction, and people won’t want to do business with the person you are. If you kill or steal people before civilians, you’ll be considered a criminal, and they will not be able to do business with you, or else you’ll end up in jail. You can get out only when you pay the penalty or serve time.

The realism of the game can be felt even in combat. Weird West allows players to think outside the box without limiting themselves to head-on battles. Simple stealth games will enable you to frighten away adversaries; the most critical issue is to cover the body in the high grass. A properly-aimed shot could damage the oil lamp, and you can ignite the puddle and the people who are standing within the pool. Your enemies, bathed in the rain, will be destroyed with the electric weapon. The flaming hero will spit out the flames by jumping into the pond closest to him. Furthermore, building shelters and drops at high altitudes is not necessary.

The arsenal of the character is limited to five kinds of weapons, including a revolver with rapid-fire, which is efficient at medium distances; powerful shotguns; a slow but long-range rifle; a bow to aid in discrete, lethal destruction of enemies; cutting and stabbing to engage in hand-to-hand combat. There’s also a variety of explosive devices, ranging as an incendiary bottle or the smallest dynamite cylinder. In addition, the surroundings can be used as a weapon in the event of a crisis; nothing stops you from pulling a chair over and throwing it at the enemy and using the shovel to create an unexpected blow to the head. Also, after the battle, make sure to look in the pockets of those who were killed. There will be ammunition and bandages and other things that could be offered to a trader.

The promotion within Weird West is done through artifacts hidden in secret corners. While fighting, characters don’t gain experience; however, at the same, the game encourages players to search for the hidden locations as this is how you gain the required information to enhance the capabilities of artifacts.

The possibilities for developing are limited to four different character traits and three or four different abilities with each firearm. You can, for instance, make the next shot with your gun silent or remove a clip of your revolver from the enemies. There’s a lot of freedom when creating character designs. However, I was not impressed by the unintuitive method of using the gamepad’s capabilities. You have to press three buttons simultaneously, which is difficult to accomplish in the heat of combat.

Although abilities are unique for each character, privileges are carried through from one campaign to the next. These are not active abilities that are permanent, such as a health boost, a more significant jump, or an ongoing discounted price from vendors. To buy bonuses, hunt for golden spades as with relics. Unfortunately, this is a scarce resource only the most avid players can afford.

It’s fascinating that Weird West allows you to transfer one character’s equipment to another. It’s as simple as finding your protagonist from the previous story in a different story and bringing him into the group – he’ll happily share what he has accumulated in his arsenal of weapons, gadgets, and potions, which means you do not have to budget money to purchase.

It crosses more than just the character inventory, but also Each new adventure opens previously unexplored regions on the world map. However, the adventurers will explore and be familiar with earlier adventures. They will experience the consequences of their choices within”the “life” and may even save characters trapped amid a jam. Only the quests that are not completed from their stories aren’t satisfied, which means that every side quest must be concluded within their own story.

Weird West is very atmospheric. It takes you to this world of Weird West and allows you to have plenty of fun playing with the abundance of game-play mechanics. But, the game has some flaws.

The first and most important thing is awkward controls, either using a gamepad or the mouse and keyboard. The camera’s actions are unpredictable, and firefights get very chaotic. I believe that the camera should be set behind the back of the player, preventing it from being seen to view from an isometric angle. However, it’s not a good image – the game features poor graphics and extremely high demand for the resources of a PC. It also has several bugs. Yes, however, it is essential to consider the absence of the first day patch. However, I needed to restart my game a few times due to the interfering bugs.

If you’re looking for an excellent immersive sim game Weird West is quite capable of fulfilling your expectations. WolfEye Studios’ debut work will be more successful over time; even though the game falls a bit below the top-quality representations of the genre but it’s a good start.
