Full of promise, Weird West, the title that more than won us over when we got our hands on it in late 2021, will soon hit our machines, allowing us to embody a lonely cowboy who must weave his way into one lawless world. The title, entirely cel-shaded and viewed from above, mixes genres, offering both intense action scenes like a twin-stick shooter and dialogue phases like Wasteland 3, where choices have to be made to advance the story. However, in order to safely immerse players in these video game westerns and to greatly increase the immersion, Raphaël Colantonio and Julien Roby have decided to emphasize this idea of choice.

As you can see by watching the latest trailer available above, In Weird West, not only what you say to other characters affects the rest of the adventure, but also what you do.

Everything then becomes more organic. Of course, the most telling example is this town that turns into a ghost after the player decides to decimate the entire population. Of course, it is also possible to do good deeds in Weird West. This gives you the opportunity, for example, to have many allies who can come to your aid in dangerous situations.
