Weird West ((INSTALL))
Preacher Special: Saint of Killers, a 4-issue mini-series, was a spin-off from Preacher by Garth Ennis. While the origin of the Saint of Killers in the Old West is the only true western element in the comic book Preacher, the series has been described as a "Splatterpunk Western" or a mix of the Western with the Gothic.[18]
Weird West
In film, The Phantom Empire (1935) is sometimes considered the first fantasy Western. Gene Autry, in his first starring role as a singing cowboy, ventures down a mineshaft and discovers a futuristic lost kingdom of the type depicted in Flash Gordon.[19] Horror Westerns began in the 1950s with the vampire western Curse of the Undead, and continued in the 1960s with films like Billy the Kid Versus Dracula (1966), which depicted the real-life outlaw fighting against the fictional vampire,[20][1] and The Valley of Gwangi (1969), in which Ray Harryhausen's special effects were used to pit cowboys against dinosaurs.[19][1] Other Westerns with elements of fantasy, horror or science fiction are 7 Faces of Dr. Lao (1964),[6] Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (1966), High Plains Drifter (1973),[21] The White Buffalo (1977),[22] Pale Rider (1985),[21] Ghost Town (1988),[20]Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat (1989), Wild Wild West (1999), [23][24] Purgatory (1999), Jonah Hex (2010),[25] and Bone Tomahawk (2015).[26]
And, thankfully, it's excitement that isn't in the slightest bit misplaced as Weird West delivers a delightfully dark and twisted tale that funnels players through the intertwined destinies of five strangers as they battle to get to the bottom of the occultish mystery that binds them all together. It's a mystery that takes place in a wild west plagued by monstrosities; witches, pigmen, cannibal cults, evil spirits and sirens, in a world where ancient relics, runes and dark magic sit side by side with the gunslingers, shootouts, twirling moustaches and Stetsons we might normally associate with a trip through ye olde west. There's as much Ravenous and The Witch here as there is Shane or Unforgiven.
Yes, there are times when the enemy AI lets things down, occasionally becoming unresponsive, failing to notice a comrade being beaten to a pulp right nearby, freezing in place or walking through a walk, - but this is stuff we expect from a big messy action-RPG like this, where so many systems are at play at any given time. This handful of small bugs aside though, Weird West is really is just an absolute cracker, a massively atmospheric, clever and chaotic western/horror RPG that's a real sign of intent from Wolfeye Studios and another huge win for Xbox Game Pass. We recommend you saddle up for this weird and wonderful adventure as soon as you possibly can.

Weird West eases players into the weird. It starts out with familiar western tales, of bounty hunters and lawless desperados. Shootouts will have bullets whizzing overhead and slow-motion dives, with revolvers and rifles sending rounds blazing across the screen.
The setting of Weird West is going to be the main draw because it is, simply, the weird west. Cowboys and bounty hunters clash with sirens and pigmen. Long-forgotten specters roam the land, haunting homesteads. A Spanish mission is occupied by werewolves.
The immersive sim is something like the dressed-up cousin of the RPG -- equally difficult to clearly define in words, but usually pretty easy to identify on the spot. When Arkane Studios veterans first formed Wolfeye Studios back in 2019 shortly before announcing immersive sim / action-RPG hybrid Weird West as their debut title, I found myself intrigued at the prospect of experiencing something as inventive as Dishonored or Prey, even if I was a little lukewarm on the premise itself. A supernatural fantasy reimagining of the American west was not really novel enough of a concept to immediately intrigue me at first, but during the leadup to the title's release I found myself more and more eager to see if Weird West could potentially be a hidden gem of the first part of 2022.
Weird West opens up with a bandit raid at the homestead of a former bounty hunter named Jane Bell. A gang of outlaws named the Stillwaters end up kidnapping Jane's husband, initiating a pretty typical scenario for a revenge plot. However, as Jane's story progresses, it quickly becomes apparent that this version of the wild west is no stranger to all sorts of supernatural shenanigans from flesh-eating monsters to vengeful ghosts and bipedal pigmen. While Jane's story initially plays this pretty straight -- dealing with a normal person simply trying to survive in a setting full of, well, weird circumstances -- the progression of the narrative immediately started to hook me beyond this base description.
"Resurrected gunslinger with cyborg enhancements! Yes, please. I've never read anything quite like this novel and as a lover of westerns, sci-fi, zombies, and horror, it was a pealing to my tastes while being unique and fresh."
Frontiers have always attracted the Other - where they find that the Other is always already there. These 22 stories explore what happens when queer characters encounter weirdness on the edge of the worlds they know.
Halloween is year round for a few of us, but fall is when it gets more intense for many people. The colder weather and rainy days put folks in the mood for stories about mysterious strangers, lonely ghosts and tall tales told by a campfire. One of my favorite genres of this type of tale is the weird western.
Mines are often gateways to the weird in these types of stories. Shadows Over Brimstone adapts classic dungeon crawler style play to send Western heroes into a nearby mine to battle against the forces of darkness. The ones who return get stronger, better and can go deeper into the mines.
They say that truth is stranger than fiction and the American West is one of those places and periods that bears out the idea. Haunted West dives into the strange tales of the West to show just how imporant BIPOC and LGBTQ people were to the exploration of the frontier were despite film and TV covering things from a straight white angle. Once players know how weird the real west was, they can start to make the west real weird. 041b061a72
