You can also find weapons and new outfits in the world, and weapons can also be looted from defeated enemies. Exploring areas will see you finding things that will help you in your quest, ranging from Nimp Relics, that allow you to unlock new skills in a number of categories, to Golden Aces that will unlock various perks, such as increased health. Now, gameplay, and as usual with this type of game, there is a divide between the combat side of things, and the exploration side of Weird West. The first time you see a bandit turn into a werewolf will stick with you, let’s put it that way. The sprites for the character are nicely detailed and have a lot of personality, and the baddies and enemies are also nicely designed. The camera is almost infinitely adjustable, which is lucky, as quite often you will need to rotate the camera to get the best view of the action. This is largely down to the graphical style and the camera angle, which is pretty much a top three quarters view, in an isometric style. Presentation-wise Weird West is very reminiscent of the Wasteland series of gamers, particularly Wasteland 3. So what would any self respecting bounty hunter do but dig up the guns that she buried in order to embark on her new life, strap them on and go hunting for the dirty lowdown snakes that took her man? Well, as it turns out, nothing, as that’s exactly what she does! When trouble pops up, it is in the shape of a gang who kidnap your husband, in order to feed him to their new leader, and worse than that, they kill your son but make the mistake of leaving you alive. In addition to the normal kind of bad guys you’d expect in a Western styled game, there are the elements that make Weird West weird: monsters, werewolves and so on and so forth. Well, as always, it isn’t long before trouble comes knocking on the door. We play Jane Bell, an ex-bounty hunter who gave it all up to get married, raise a family and attempt to make a living on a farm. Story is key to a game like this, and fortunately everything is all present and correct in that respect.
