Hard West is the unlikely supernatural Wild West strategy game I didn’t think I would be interested in. Maybe it’s the fact Preacher is coming. Maybe it’s the fact I love the Devil Goat in Goat Simulator. Maybe it’s that I lack decency and good taste. Whatever it is, this Faustian themed Western has my interest piqued, even if it is just because it immediately conjures to mind the Ennis’ Saint of Killers. I’m okay with that.
“When a tragic turn of events sets one man down a path of supernatural chaos and revenge, he must brutally hunts down all those whom wronged him,” The game’s website describes, “Follow Warren on his descent into the darkest recesses of the human soul, and try to survive in a world full of hard choices and even harder consequences. Because in this world, death is a constant presence and the black pacts which you make with forces beyond human comprehension will forever haunt all those around you.”
The game offers up 8 story-based scenarios you’ll navigate with turn-based combat and the a choice-influenced storyline that results in multiple endings. There's also squirty blood.
Hard West is now available on Steam and GOG.
