a capa é TÃO Mike Mignola que me fez comprar unicamente por causa da arte. E realmente, o jogo me ganhou com seu visual preto-escuro com contornos bem marcados, mas foi decepcionante a perda de interesse enquanto jogava, não há nada que me motive a (re)fazer runs inteiras pra tentar conseguir algo novo. Há quem possa interessar, mas não me prende.

Ron Perlman es el protagonista.

West of Dead has this super cool style – kinda like a gritty comic book in a supernatural Wild West. The twin-stick shooter gameplay is tight, the voice acting from Ron Perlman is badass, and I actually was surprised by how involved the story got! It can be tough as nails, and things do get a bit repetitive near the end, but overall, it's a stylish and satisfyingly hard action game. If you dig roguelikes and spooky Westerns, West of Dead is worth a shot.

The game looks really good, but it has nothing going for it in gamplay.
The shooting itself is alright, altough aiming is clunky. A main mechanic is covering behind graves(?) or other objects, but you have to hug them really close, and the animation between standing and covering is very little, so you'll of course get damaged. Literally everything is clunky and feels slow, you have to wait like a second between rolls, not giving enough time to get to safety. When going into cover you again have to wait a second before you can roll or do anything.

Upgrades, weapons, perks are usually what makes rougelites(k) but this game lacks everything. Like 4 gun types, sometimes with debuff modifiers like making the enemies bleed. Upgrades and perks/abilities have nothing really. Everything is basic and boring.

Vengo de jugar Enter The gungeon y me encuentro con esta shit

It's got a fun aesthetic and art style, but it's just not that fun to play, to be honest. I'm already burnt out on rogue-lites and this did nothing to make me feel like I want to keep completing runs. The combat is also clunky and doesn't feel as good as similar twin-sticks in the genre like Enter the Gungeon.
