In the action role-playing game Weird West<\/a> players must find their way in a hostile, imaginative interpretation of the Wild West. In this version of the American frontier from pre-modern times, however, magical elements, surreal creatures and dark forces are at work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the center of the plot is a group of anti-heroes, which is built up by the players as in a classic RPG. The top-down perspective reinforces the initial impression that this is a Role play<\/a> old school games like Pillars of Eternity or Divinity: Original Sin.<\/p>\n

Playful freedom like in immersive simulations<\/h2>\n

Behind Weird West<\/a>published by Devolver Digital, however, is the team from WolfEye Studios, the new studio of French video game developer Rapha\u00ebl Colantonio. He is known as the head of Arkane Studios and was one of the creative teams that developed immersive simulations such as Dishonored and Prey.<\/p>\n

That's why Weird West is saving itself the second look clearly from<\/a> classic adventure role-playing games. On the one hand, players can move their characters freely in the game world and do not have to adhere to a grid or guidelines limited by action points for the movement of the characters. Battles are also fought in real time and are more akin to the chaotic action of a top-down shooter.<\/p>\n
