An unusual RPG developed by Asymmetric. The game is heavily inspired by the slapstick comedies and takes the player to a land resembling the Wild West. The main protagonist of the game is a daredevil, who wants to start a new chapter of his life, so he leaves his family farm and sets off on a journey to the town of Frisco. West of Loathing delivers a vast open world filled with NPCs, who assign numerous tasks, puzzles waiting to be solved, and enemies the player has to fight during turn-based battles. Depending on one’s choice, the main protagonist can represent one of three separate classes – the appearance, on the other hand, can be modified according to one’s own preferences, by donning one of the fifty available hats. As one progresses through the game, they increase their character’s combat potential by acquiring new types of weapons and improving stats and abilities. The game delivers rather simplistic visuals that resemble sketches created by the students in the back of their notebooks.
