Only a few days after revealing the release date of its Evil West, Focus Entertainment invites us to take a closer look at its western game where you play as a vampire hunter. It is therefore a 10-minute gameplay video, available in 4K format, which is offered to us, just to show a little the extent of the gameplay mechanics. We see for example that the game will alternate between gunfight sequences with powerful firearms with close combat that is somewhat reminiscent of Capcom's God Hand. We do not know if the developers of Flying Wild Hog were inspired by the latter, but there are still some similarities, especially in terms of the blows and the way in which it is possible to throw enemies. The video also shows the user interface that will allow you to customize your style of play thanks to a skill tree, which will allow you to improve both your weapons and your melee abilities. As for the story, we play Jesse Rentier, a formidable vampire hunter from the Rentier Institute, who will mingle with humans, but especially vampires and fantastic creatures. Incidentally, the video ends with a boss fight with a giant evolved bat.
The release of Evil West is expected for September 20 on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and PC.
