West of Dead

Tried multiple times to get into it, but it is just boring, in all senses. If you are a lot into western stuff and a narrator making a voice like its a John Wayne and Clint Eastwood 90s film, then buy it. I think it is a clear skip otherwise, in the sense that I can come up with at least 5 other games top of my head that are much better and more enjoyable if what you want is a top view rogue like. By the point you have played those, if you boot this one you are just gonna want to drop it forever, as I now will.

SO I got this during a steam sale, I think it was 1.29$ or so (thanks regional pricing). Its a very fun shooter roguelike, the voice acting is amazing. I have attached my PC specs here but I mostly play it on my Poco F7 via Gamenative, and its a wonderful experience there too, a locked 45FPS. The story is interesting, and in a good way. I'm curious why our main character, the sheriff, is in purgatory, though I won't lie and say I have kept track of everything. I only know the gist of what's happening. The gameplay is fairly straightforward. You have two guns, which can be fired with right trigger and left trigger. You move using the left trigger, and aim with the right. You can hide behind boxes which act as cover, where you can reload faster. Each gun has a unique effect, but none of them are objectively "the best". Because I'm an "unga bunga" kinda guy, I love my hard hitting weapons. There are abilities you can pick up. Dynamite, fast reload, a throwable axe, spear, etc. They're not very powerful but I don't think they're meant to be. As I see it, they're meant to be used with your weapons, compliment them rather than be the main focus. You obviously have your health flask (mine is at level 2, meaning i can use it twice per run). Overall, very good game for the price. Looking forward to more from the dev team!
