We first reported on The Dark West, a new retro-inspired ARPG from developer Black Hand, a couple of months ago. While we still don’t have a confirmed release date, a new teaser trailer shows off some more of the gameplay that excited gunslingers can expect.
The footage gives a glimpse into the world of The Dark West, which merges the Old West with witchcraft and dark magic. The Dark West challenges both your skill and sanity, and the trailer highlights the gunslinger battling cursed outlaws, monstrous entities, and other horrors born from the land itself.
Key features in The Dark West:
Master Brutal Combat: Gunfire cracks as dark powers surface. Survival demands grit, determination, and one simple rule: kill or be killed.
Build Your Path to Damnation: Power is gained over time through skill choices and hard-earned gear. Your choices between bad and worse decide how far you’re willing to fall. In the end, all that matters is who’s left standing.
Explore a Dying World: The frontier has fallen. Black magic has tainted the land and anything that breathes on it. Those who stay alive learn the cost isn’t paid in coin, but in blood.
Trust Only Your Steel: Two forces rise from the ruins. The Order is armored in self-righteousness but blinded by hypocrisy. The Damned are cursed, exhibiting sin forged in survival. True danger is not what lurks in the dark but who stands behind you when the killing starts.
