Grappling over jumps and dropping down to other levels, that sort of thing. Something I likely wouldn’t have done if all I did was fire shots at the enemies.Ī dodge/evade button was also available that let me move out of the way of attacks, and it also doubled as a “do this thing” button. At first, it didn’t seem ideal, but it allowed me to also play around with the melee attacks. Until then, you’ll have to rely on melee attacks to do damage and a kick to put some distance between you and them. Once you fire off a specific number of shots, you have to wait for the cooldown to return your ammo. While doing ranged combat, I kept finding myself trying to hit the reload button. While doing so, you’ll also perform nice-looking execution attacks and heal yourself. While ranged combat is how you do most of your damage, melee attacks require you to get in close and punch the crap out of enemies. The game features ranged and melee combat. Aside from the story elements that told, well, the story. My time with the game allowed me to run through the short level that gave me an idea of what the game was about.
This is the first time a playable build of Evil West was seen at any convention, and it did run a bit rough, but still, it was enjoyable. I’m guessing that perhaps that was the goal. I mentioned this to one of the persons running the booth (I’m sorry I forgot your name), to which he smiled. It seems more… Soulslike than anything else. The best way to describe the game is Remnant from the Ashes, but with a more significant emphasis on melee attacks and with visuals looking considerably better. As for this writeup, I’m still in awe with the Evil West gameplay, but I wanted to get this out while it was all fresh in my mind. I did ask for some b-roll, so we’ll see if that turns up over the next few days. Sadly, capturing footage was a big no-no, so I don’t have anything to share. But one that got buried under all of the other games that have since been released.
For those who may not know about Evil West, the title was shown off at The Game Awards 2020 show and is a title I was interested in checking out. And while there were already several people ahead of me, I got a chance to check it out, and damn, it is fun. So, I had to make a beeline over to the booth to check it out. I didn’t even know that the game would be at the show. When I first arrived at PAX East 2022 and was finally let onto the expo, I noticed a banner for Evil West.
