Ready to take control of Jesse Rentier, son and heir to a wealthy anti-vampire weapons company? So welcome to Evil West, 3D beat ’em up by Flying Wild Hog on behalf of Focus Entertainment. If you’ve just come out of God of War Ragnarok, its gameplay and the inspirations that go with it should quickly jump out at you, but is that a reason to sulk your pleasure? Not necessarily. In this article, we give you a summary of all the essential information for the famous day one of this carnage in vampire territory.
Gameplay
Impossible not to make the comparison with the formula of God of War (2018): the developers were greatly inspired by it, for better and for worse. Let’s say that the title of Focus relies heavily on the cinematographic aspect of its levels and will not hesitate to chain the cliffs to follow and the obstacles to step over with a few scripted jumps. This is not a bad thing in absolute terms, especially since it allows you to enjoy environments that are sometimes confusingly beautiful, but with the game’s ultra-dynamic and rich gameplay, it causes regular rhythm problems. : it gives the impression that our character is a semi-trailer while he is able to chain hyper-fast movements in combat, very early in the adventure. The fights are in any case very satisfying, with many options to chain the vampires with style, it is even the main strength of Evil West.
coop
Yes the game has two-player online cooperation, unfortunately it is quite poorly integrated. Why ? Quite simply because the progress made by the invited player will not be saved at all once he returns to his session. Even items and money that you collect from another player cannot be kept. You should therefore not take this feature for a way to do the whole adventure with a buddy, but rather as a way to assist him with arenas or bosses that would cause him problems. Too bad !
Lifetime
You will need about ten hours to complete all the missions of the game, with a small dose of replayability thanks to the presence of a new game plus mode from the day of its release. This is a very linear popcorn game and you won’t necessarily have the opportunity to deviate greatly from the main quest during your fantasy excursion to cowboys and you will sign up for a second trip only if it is important to you to unlock all the skill trees to have a mercenary armed to the bone.
