Dead lasso

Well shucks pardner, Focus Entertainment are lassoing vampiric cowboy third-person action gameEvil Westonto PC on September 20th. The tagline is “Evil never sleeps… but it bleeds”, which makes it sound like the undead really need to get some well-earned rest. You’ll be able to shoot up and smack down loads of very awake demonic adversaries. Watch a flaming church erupt with bats in the trailer below.

There’s a decent action pedigree behind Evil West as it hails from the Polish development studio responsible for theShadow Warriorreboot, Flying Wild Hog. Jai thought the latest in that series was just a bit too much in hisShadow Warrior 3 reviewback in February. “There’s very little to be mastered to sustain your attention till the end,” he said. “It’s so repetitive that it becomes impossible to avoid confronting its other negative qualities until, as Lo Wang would say, they fill the room like a wet fart.”

Evil West is out onSteamon September 20th for £44/$50/€50. It’s also coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
