Evil West Extended
Posted By:

The question of vampires is a tricky one for us but having watched the newly released extended gameplay trailer (warning - the gore factor is high) for upcoming Evil West, we think this title just sneaks across the line as part sci-fi.

A wild west vampire hunting action game it manages to cross our line courtesy of futuristic steampunk player weaponry.

We had seen promotions for this one previously but couldn't confidently gauge it. This trailer was enlightening.

It shows the first ten minutes of the game and boasts a distinctive art style, which we always appreciate.

A few of those futuristic steampunk weapons are showcased in the second half.

From those and an earlier look at a character screen it seems like fire and electricity feature prominently.

Magic is also present in the game. In a cinematic we see a vampire dispelling a magical illusion.

But it doesn't seem like the player wields any.

Evil West releases on PC (Steam), Xbox and PlayStation on September 21.
