    Es un buen juego
    Tiene mecánicas parecidas a Enter the Gungeon y Dead Cells
    Aunque es bueno creo que si tiene algunos errores, nose si sea yo el que ha presionado mal los botones o si es el juego Algo que se podría cambiar es el botón para interactuar y curarte, deberían cambiar el de curar por Y ya que en ocasiones cuando vas a encender un farol parece que el juego detecta que te quieres    Es un buen juego

    Aunque es bueno creo que si tiene algunos errores, nose si sea yo el que ha presionado mal los botones o si es el juego Algo que se podría cambiar es el botón para interactuar y curarte, deberían cambiar el de curar por Y ya que en ocasiones cuando vas a encender un farol parece que el juego detecta que te quieres curar y no puedes prender el farol, por lo que recibes el daño que quieres evitar. De ahí en fuera si Gungeon o Dead Cells son juegos que disfrutaste, ten por seguro que este también lo disfrutarás y lo mejor, gratis con Game Pass.    … Expand

    The premise and production values are pretty much the only things that made me interested in West of Dead but the frustration over not being able to gain a proper foothold for forward progress really got to me. Character advancement doesn’t carry over into each new play session, making any boosts you find a zero-sum game. These days, my time is increasingly valuable. Nothing about the experience was ever fun and at the end of the day, I fell into the mindset that the only way to win was to simply not play.

    While the game’s style is like a Homeric epic seen through the panel of a comic book, the soundtrack of melancholic twanging guitar complicates the theme to something new and unexpected, a kind of undead western. It’s slickly compelling stuff, if repetitive after a few hours and, invariably, punitive. Yes, in West of Dead, death is an inconvenience rather than a sentence, but it’s one that is often delivered quickly and without reprieve, which makes selecting a “New Run” a little bit harder with each cruel setback.

    West of Dead on Xbox One is a beautiful and entertaining western shooter that you’ll probably enjoy playing it if you are into roguelikes. The game doesn’t waste its potentials when it comes to gameplay mechanics, however, unbalanced and unrewarding level design are major issues that the game suffers from.
