    Evil West's poor narrative, dated graphics, and short length make it somewhat difficult to justify the $60 price tag, regardless of how much fun the core combat is. Even so, those yearning for a no-nonsense action game with old-school sensibilities may still want to take the plunge, and if they aren't bothered by the short length, they are unlikely to walk away disappointed.

    The variety in areas and monsters are its strong points, with the combat offering good fun with controversial choices. Its big problem is the lack of rhythm in its gameplay, as a result of which the title passes as an indifferent "binge watch" for the weekend.

    Evil West is a game like Shadow Warrior 2, but with less flair. The game let's you enjoy co-op action with up to two players, killing vampires and other meanies. But is misses something to make it memorable or even more than an in between. Still, if you like crazy games that let you beat vampires into pulp, this is a good suggestion for the budget bin.

    Evil West is a thoroughly old-fashioned shooter that manages to entertain in short bursts but can't overcome how lacklustre and unoriginal its level design and narrative feels. If you've got a pal to play through this one with in co-op you could probably stick another star on the final score, otherwise we'd steer clear unless you absolutely must indulge in some seriously last-gen cowboy vs. vampire action.

    Evil West manages to stand out from the crowd thanks to its efficient, cruelly brutal and well-orchestrated gameplay. The character’s increasing power is well designed and it offers dynamic, fluid and addictive combat scenes to the player. On the other hand, do not hope for a story worthy of the greatest westerns and exploration: this is a game based solely on action and you should not ask for more.

    One of the most repetitive games that i have ever played! The combat is initially fun but becomes very boring over the course of the game. TheOne of the most repetitive games that i have ever played! The combat is initially fun but becomes very boring over the course of the game. The lack of weapons and customization really holds this game back. With all the trailers and footage I was expecting a spectacular story mode and this game just doesn't provide that at all. The boss fights are great to start but then you begin to fight the same bosses over and over. Overall I will give the game a 6 out of 10 but wouldn't recommend paying more than $20 for this game.… Full Review »
