Description
Weird West legends meet eldritch horror in BLOOD WEST, an immersive stealth FPS. Become the Undead Gunslinger, doomed to roam the barren lands until he finds the means to purge their curse and free his soul. No, this isn’t your typical Wild West desperado redemption arc. This is a damnation arc.



The Canyons, the Swamp, and the Mountains. Each swarming with abominable monsters and unholy demons, these are open-ended worlds for you to explore freely at your own pace. It will take the player over 20 hours on average to complete all three scenarios, and over 35 if they want to see everything the barren lands have to offer.



Blood West is a stealth FPS inspired by the genre classics such as the Thief series (whose fans will be happy to hear the voice of Stephen Russell, the actor voicing the master-thief Garrett, returning here as the protagonist), S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, or - from the contemporary catalog - Hunt: Showdown. The gameplay rewards the careful approach: scouting the area, stalking your enemies, and striking from the shadows. Can you figure out a way to clear a fort full of ghouls and monsters without raising an alarm?



The Barren Lands present the player with a nightmarish, twisted vision of the Wild West legends. The curse that has befallen the realm has corrupted every living thing, defiled the land itself, while summoning restless spirits and dark entities. In this mixture of gunslinger pulp and Lovecraftian horror, dark occult magick presents just as much of a threat as sudden lead poisoning.



In Blood West you will meet many colorful, yet strangely twisted, fully-voiced NPCs. Just as much prisoners of the Barren Lands as you are, they will sometimes share their unusual stories and send you on various missions. Play nice and they might reward you or become your allies. Cross them and risk their wrath.



The game won’t hold your hand. You’ll have to explore the land for yourself (buying a map from a vendor might prove useful!), and figure out your own way to approach quests. As you poke around the three expansive maps, keep an eye out for hidden places and secret stashes. There’s gold in the mountains! Fair warning - it’s probably cursed.



If sneaking around isn’t exactly your thing, or you feel that you have a power advantage over your enemies, you can always take the head-on approach and meet your enemies guns blazing. Blood West comes from the creators of the fan-favorite boomer shooter POSTAL: Brain Damaged, so much gratuitous fantasy violence and pixelated blood splatter is to be expected!



One man’s hell might be another hoarder’s paradise! From simple one-use items like bandages, through medical tinctures, explosives and incendiaries, straight to arcane artifacts that - once slotted - can change the way you play the game, the Barren Lands are just filled with STUFF. There are tons of useful items to discover, and there’s a special player’s stash crate for all those super-rare potions that you’ll hoard and never use.



A gunslinger without a gun would be just a regular slinger. Where’s the fun in that? Blood West makes sure you’ll have plenty of weapons to choose from. Revolvers, rifles, shotguns, carabines - a great variety of firearms, from standard army-issue to those infused with powerful magic, or straight-up possessed. And if you prefer not to cause a ruckus, there’s a wide selection of hand-to-hand combat weapons and archery weapons to pick your favorites from.



The RPG-like perk-based progression system in Blood West will allow you to highly customize the gameplay experience to your liking. Become a stealthy hunter, a revolver-fanning gunman or a relentless berserker. You will gain experience and progress through the skill tree, while discovering new artifacts in each of the scenarios that will bestow on you additional abilities. Combining skills and load-out creates more possible playstyles than you’d normally be able to explore in one playthrough.

Are you ready to take back the frontier from the dark forces of demonic corruption and earn the right to move on to a better world? The Barren Lands call you, Gunslinger!

Copied good mechanics,but left out logic

First off, I payed for this game, even when it was free. The underlying mechanics are replicated well. But that was where it also fails. It becomes very clear they made this in this fashion: Blood+Thief+Fallout perks+Minecraft graphics. --Doing this is not wrong. Making these games into one game with NO changes at all, is a huge mess. You cant have a sneak system with loud noise items like guns and explosives and make the game map as small as it is. The open world must be bigger for the logic of the noise. You also have to make the lighting system more logical. No lit light unless something lit it+ why. Dark areas need to be DARK! They left out a day time...apparently evil takes a nap during daytime? Because nothing bad ever happens in day light. Decap enemies, but you cant dismember them to prevent their actions. Also, decapitation while prone....with an axe.....wtf guys? A lack of logic everywhere. Also, enough with the main character without a body! The Citadel has a body while looking down, you can make this if they can team. So your main character is an undead guy. Fine. He doesnt need food/water, fine. But make some other requirement. Like eating the living while that makes him slowly lose his mind. Perhaps some lesser bad deed, like the shaman can have him gather soul essence of felled enemies for healing agents. The game feels to lazy. You have to make the logic of enemies work with the mechanics and it just does not. You can have the sneak system, but with loud items, you need space. LOTS of space, plus the enemies should all come running in an area....hint hint, like rock throw distractions. Plus you need areas with the living. Horses to go to and from. When you leave a horse tied to an area, you risk walking back, when sun down comes yer horse get ate! Perhaps your zombie main guy needs blood in a pinch and he eats the horse...or the people he partners with? This could have been a bit hit. Sadly these ideas will never matter to the team.

Pretty good but flawed

I will be reviewing this game as if it only had one episode - since I felt satisfied after defeating the boss and believed that the game is over. The game is not boomer shooter - more like boomer rpg with heavy reliance on stealth. The bullets are quite rare so you will be mostly fighting meele - and I found hit and run or more precise pick up and die tactic works quite well and by utilising it you can finish chapter 1 in half an hour (it took me 4 hours since I like exploring). Now the cons: - controller support is very lacking. I wouldn't play it on steam deck for that reason. - the progression items are quite hard to find. I had to google the one from fort xD - chapter 2 feels out of the blue. Like you are watching the ending cinematic and then abrabtly BAM, we need you again. I ain't doing that, old man...

A Fine Blend

Exactly the kind of FPS I was looking for lately. This is a great mix of exploration, gunplay and stealth. Made it to chapter 2 so far, exploring pretty much everything I could. I have been enjoying the firearms; how needing to balance low shot counts and slow reloads means you really want to make sure your shots are accurate. Enemies can cut you down quickly if you try that with a revolver right in front of them. Melee, as an option to save some ammo, works fine when you are just making stealthy strikes, but I found it to be a bit jank when trying to fight. Blows land off your crosshair, making head hits difficult, and enemies can often lunge past your swings and avoid damage entirely. I will have to add more here once I get farther in the game, which I am looking forward to!
