comment
West of Dead is a Weird West Roguelite twin-stick, cover-based shooter with a heavy emphasis on tactics and atmosphere developed by Upstream Arcade and published by Raw Fury in 2020. Oh, and the cowboy with a flaming skull for a head? He's voiced by Ron Perlman, who provides much of the game's narration.Gunslinger William Mason awakens in limbo as a dead man without his memories...or his face. The afterlife isn't looking so pretty either. Something truly disreputable has taken over the crossroads, cutting off the paths on either side, twisting the land beyond any hope of consistent navigation, and drafting the damned to protect its interests.Led on by hazy recollections of who he once was and an innate disgust at how wrong the hereafter has become, Mason walks a crooked path into the center of this loathsome labyrinth against an army of revenants and other assorted grotesqueries.Luckily for him, he just can't seem to stay in the ground no matter how hard he's killed. And guns are in plentiful supply down in Purgatory.

In the Back: The Backstabber ability allows Mason to teleport behind enemies so he can attack them from behind. Unfortunately for him, some of the cultists in later levels have this ability as well. The Traitor gun also lands critical hits when used to shoot from behind.

Bag of Spilling: Whenever Mason dies apart from his flask and whatever runes he's picked up. Most frustratingly, this kicks in even if he defeats the Final Boss, as he's stripped of all his gear and levels when he leaves the last arena.

comment
Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: While a level will always give you enough iron to buy at least one item from the Trader, the amount of Sin required to unlock some of the more exotic guns at the Witch's altar is frankly (and perhaps appropriately) obscene, numbering in the hundreds for certain items. A normal level will give Mason under 20 Sin. Defeating the final boss will win him about 24.

Revolvers Are Just Better: They're very consistent weapons as unlike the rifles, they can be fired in rapid succession, and they have much longer ranges than shotguns. Good luck finding one with a six-bullet chamber though.

comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Armory upgrades provide more firepower options at the start of the Crypts, but no matter the upgrades, they're all going to be low-level, so a player is better off investing Sin unlocking other things. When an expensive gun is purchased with Sin, Mason himself will admire the feel of the weapon, but will then express skepticism as to its effectiveness unless he's properly field-tested it.

Facial Horror: The first fight with the Preacher reveals that Mason was a U.S. Marshall who met his end after getting shot in the head by a double-barreled shotgun twice. The second shot was necessary due to how the gun malfunctioned at first, blasting off Mason's face and setting his head on fire but not with enough force to fully kill him.

Evil Counterpart: Like Mason, the Outlaws are expert gunslingers who have flaming skulls for heads. Unlike Mason, they're, well, outlaws. The Preacher gets in on the action when he turns into Injustice, who like Mason, also has a head wreathed in flames.

Loophole Abuse: If a player is just interested in grabbing Mason's memories from Lost Souls, there's nothing stopping them from eliminating all the enemies on the map, accepting the burden from a Lost Soul, and then leaving the area to give it to the witch. Mason will still have the burden in the next level though.

Light 'em Up: The Lantern is a throwable item that will stun all enemies who are in or wander into its radius, even if they're already in a well-lit area. While it does no damage, it has a relatively quick charge time and compliments a number of weapons that do more damage to stunned enemies. Unfortunately, Outlaws and the final boss are completely immune to it.
