Blood West PC

Blood West is a first-person survival horror western-style shooter. It is another project of the Warsaw-based independent studio Hyperstrange, which previously created Elderborn and Postal: Brain Damaged.

Plot

In Blood West we play a dead gunman, who is not granted peace. Instead of heaven (or hell) a cursed mining town, overrun by demons and ancient horror, awaits him. In this place you can't count on faith and prayers for the dead - only a shotgun at your side gives you comfort and maybe allows you to stop this afterlife adventure.

Mechanics

Although the mix of FPS and hordes from hell may bring to mind the Doom series, Blood West goes in a slightly different direction. Instead of incredible stunts and neck-breaking action, the Hyperstrange studio's creation features a more methodical and somewhat survivalist gameplay. Of course, there are dynamic clashes with demonic enemies, but the game doesn't discourage us to eliminate them quietly.

Exploration of locations and searching for resources such as ammunition plays an important role. In addition, as we progress in the game, we develop the character's attributes, which makes fighting groups of increasingly difficult enemies easier.

Technical aspects

Graphically Blood West is a retro-style game, using angular graphics ( low poly) and clearly low resolution.
