The Wild West was always considered a dangerous place where the horror of death and bloodshed was fairly commonplace, especially when it came to gold rushes and the like. However, that horror never quite escalated to the level of horror that comes with sharing space with demons from hell.

‘Blood West’ takes players back to the wild west, to a little mining town that has been abandoned for a long, long time, and is now home to horrors unlike any ever seen before. Players play as a desperado gunslinger from the west that met his match and ate a bullet, or perhaps several, going down in flames so to speak.

However, when he died, his soul didn’t go where it was supposed to go. It didn’t go to heaven, not that it would have in any case, but it also didn’t go to hell! Instead, it got stuck roaming the wild west, stuck in a state between death and eternity.

And players are not alone in their ghostly travels… Hell has been unleashed and its demons are roaming the earth, wreaking havoc as they go.

Players must dig deep and bring their desperado skills to bear as they wield the infamous six guns and double-barreled shotguns that were so commonly used in the west against the hordes of hell.

Players must make their own decisions and can choose to follow a stealthy approach, eliminating monsters one by one, or simply go in guns blazing, slinging lead wide and sundry.

Regardless of the path they take, players must conquer the demons from hell, sending them back to where they belong before they completely destroy the living world.

‘Blood West’ is developed by ‘Hyperstrange’ and is on Steam.
