Although placing robots in the Wild West is a rather unusual idea, it's exactly what the creators of a cooperative action game titled Far Far West have reached for. The production was developed by independent studio Evil Raptor, which has Pumpkin Jack and Akimbot in its portfolio.
In Far Far West, we view events from a first-person perspective (FPP). During the gameplay, we take control of robots that set off to the titular Far West to eliminate their assigned targets and then evacuate in one piece, allowing them to rake in the payoff.
It's not easy, as along the way the machines have to face all sorts of creatures inhabiting wastelands and graveyards, as well as loitering in settlements or haunted mines. The mechanical protagonists are not defenseless, as both firearms and spells are at their disposal. The former includes a revolver, shotgun, machine gun or even a rotary cannon. Among the available spells, on the other hand, the fireball leads the way.
As for the threats we have to face - we are talking about both ordinary adversaries and powerful bosses. In addition to animated skeletons and other mummies, which we deal with by spraying them with lead, deadly storms and a huge ghost train pose a threat.
Between expeditions we end up in the city, where we can trade, supplying ourselves with more and better equipment and improving the weapons we have, as well as unlocking abilities and spells. It is up to us whether we lead a gunfighter, a battle mage or a support robot that heals allies. To top it all off, there are sk?rks for the mechanical character and his steed.
Far Far West was developed mainly for cooperative play over the Internet for up to 4 players. However, you can also play alone.
