Hack'n'slash productions usually take us to fantastic "magic and sword" worlds. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and one of them is The Dark West, whose action is set in a dark version of the so-called Strange West. The title was developed by independent studio Black Hand.
In The Dark West, we view the action from a bird's eye view. During the gameplay, we take on the role of one of the characters, who travel through fallen cities or devastated mines, facing the threats lurking on the frontier. Although we have to fight against aggressive humans, fantastic monsters are the most prominent among the opponents.
As befits a variation on the theme of a western, we eliminate enemies using primarily firearms. As the targets usually outnumber us and can attack both in close quarters and from a distance, we have to be constantly on the move to avoid their attacks, while at the same time taking accurate fire.
As you progress, you develop your character by collecting better equipment and developing your skills. Along the way, we collect cards that form orchestrated layouts, providing reinforcements. In addition, we can provide a bonus to our strength by drinking alcohol; on the other hand, it is important to remember that opr?zing bottles dulls our senses.
The Dark West is a kind of occult look at a western. The frontier is consumed by black magic, and as if that wasn't enough, it has become an arena for a battle for influence waged by two forces. While The Order hides the rot consuming it under the guise of wanting to bring justice, The Damned have been consumed by a dark force. During the course of the game, we find ourselves in the middle of this chaos.
