Eradicate the vampiric hordes with your lightning-fueled gauntlet and become a Wild West Superhero.”Developed by the team behind Shadow Warrior 3, Flying Wild Hog, and it looks like it’ll be taking at least some inspiration from the action of that game.In our three-out-of-five Shadow Warrior 3 review, we said the game “is a competent – and often very satisfying – shooter with enough action and guns to stay reasonably interesting throughout.

This being said, a mostly unforgettable story, dragging last section and cheesy writing leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It’s fun to put on in the background but doesn’t offer much that isn’t better elsewhere within the genre.”Evil West is set to release on September 20 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC on September 20.
