Description
Purgatory, Wyoming, 1888.
A place of gun smoke and darkness, sin and damnation, wendigos and witches. A shifting, chaotic world that takes its form from the memories, culture or beliefs of the souls who pass through. When a dead man awakens with only the memory of a figure in black, he sets into motion a chain of events that have truly mythic consequences.

Step into the boots of the dead man William Mason (voiced by Ron Perlman) and descend into the grim and gritty world of Purgatory in this fast-paced cover shooter which combines the fluidity of twin-stick controls and tactical cover usage. Put your skills to the test - Dodge behind cover as you try to outgun your enemies in the unknown procedurally generated hunting grounds. The Wild West has never been this dark.

The Path of the Crow Deluxe Edition contains:  
  • The Crow familiar, a friend to our hero. The crow will stay by your side through the darkest of paths.
  • A new level, The Battlefield. Dilapidated and riven with rot and decay, the land here has been shattered and burned by explosions, with a fog-filled with the calls to charge. This level is the epitome of all war and it is yours to battle through.
  • A new enemy, The Captain, a truly frightening opponent, maddened by his lust for war. He is armed with a cannon and a sabre, this menace is trouble close or afar.
  • A new weapon, The Mortar, claimed from The Battlefield, this new weapon will terrify even those cowering behind cover.
  • And the Original Soundtrack. This includes 13 tracks including Run by Bror David Neideman, sung by Camilla Neideman with additional lyrics by Roland Smedberg.

If Hard West was a twin-stick shooter

First of all, this game borrows liberally from Dead Cells, mostly in terms of upgrade mechanics (upgrading one of three stats, unlocking new items, etc.). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as Dead Cells is nearly perfect. Now, the game: You play as William Mason, recently deceased. He's evidently not good at dying, as he can't seem to stay put, wandering through Purgatory seeking: revenge, probably. This is what makes it a roguelike: you get a little bit better, a little bit stronger each time. It's hard to go wrong with that. The gameplay itself is unusual for a twin-stick shooter: instead of bullet hell or swarm enemies, it's a proper cover shooter. That means you have to think somewhat tactically, which I love. Nothing like diving behind a sarcophagus just as the enemy's bullets hit the side. The game is, all around, quite good. It doesn't quite measure up to Dead Cells, but it comes pretty close. The visuals are nice, the combat is the ideal "easy to learn, hard to master" type, and it's wonderful hearing Ron Perlman's voice in an indie game. This is far from an in-depth review, but nevertheless, I hope it helps.

Overcomes its many flaws.

I enjoyed it more than I expected. A fun roguelike. Pros: - cool combat and gameplay loop; - unique visual style; - you can finish the game with minimal unlocks if you're good enough. Cons: - fucking horrible tutorials and very little info available online; - a bit buggy; - the more unlocks you're forced to get, the more you're forced to play with gear you don't like; - almost non-existant story for almost the entire game; - pretty lazy PC port; - can't remap controller keys, can't dodge and aim at the same time because you aim with right stick and dodge with A, and the dodge window is very small; - and probably others that don't cross my mind right now. Somehow, though, despite all of its flaws, it was still very fun for me. The combat and gameply loop are just that good.

Console game with nice visuals

Okay so first the bad points: - The game has a kind slow pace for moving the mouse cursor which means that if you play with a mouse it will feel like a hald second too long bfore pointing in the right direction and no options to change the cursor speed. - As someone mentioned in theses comments, you do not properly aim at the ennemy, instead you lock on an ennemy and shoot it after, even with aim assistance set to 0 - The camera can never be turned which is not incredibly frustrating except when an ennemy is stuck near cover and that you cannot see the visual confirmation that you locked on him ending up wasting bullets until you touch him. - The game is always indoor, just rooms followed by corridors followed by rooms... The only game that got me a similar feeling of light claustrophobia was vagrant story. It especially made e feel unconfortable in area that should be wider and feel like open spaces, it's ok to feel stuck in the mines, much less in the farmlands. - Even if it's really cool to hear Ron Perlman it's almost only to hear him saying shallow lines that try (and fail) to set a mood. Would still have been a positive point if the marketing of the game had not pushed that point forward. So to summerize the bad, it really feels like a game made to be adapted on as many platforms as possible and it shows in the gameplay as well as in the menus and options, what's more is that feeling that it was marketed better than it was coded. But on the bright side: + Very nice art style that reminds me of Mike Mignola's style. + The character design of Mason which is cool. + The different gameplay of each weapons + The feeling of joy when you barely evade an ennemy ullets and get behind cover to reload your guns. + After an hour or so you get an ability that really reduce the back tracking time and thanks god otherwise I would have stopped playing this game really fast. So yeah the game is still fairly entetaining but I would really not recommend it above 10€

Take a Dash of...

If you like supernatural horror, the Sergio Leone Westerns, "Dead Cells", and Ron Perlman as a very droll gunfighter...this will hit ALL those buttons. The art-style give it's that little extra push. Bought this elsewhere but I' want people to know this is a damn fine game.

Highly recommended

Actually pretty good. It´s like a wild west rogue-like that takes the best of The Binding of Isaac and Dead Cells.
