Last week Focus Entertainment revealed a release date for Flying Wild Hog’s Evil West, and today they’ve teamed with IGN to fire off a meaty 10-minute-plus chunk of footage showing the horror-western shooter in action. It starts fairly typically with a shootout with some standard-issue desperadoes amidst a dusty ranch, but soon enough the action descends into creepy caverns and forests packed with Lovecraftian horrors and big bad bosses. You can check the footage out for yourself, below.
While the whole Evil West aesthetic isn’t necessarily my thing, the action is fluid and it seems like Flying Wild Hog is throwing everything at the wall. Hopefully, Evil West delivers after FWH’s disappointing Shadow Warrior 3. Need to know more? Here’s Evil West’s official description…
