Focus Entertainment announced a release date for Flying Wild Hog’s Evil West last week, and now they’ve partnered up with IGN to present a lengthy 10-minute-plus trailer for the horror-western shooter. It begins with a standard-issue desperado firefight in the middle of a dusty ranch, but the action soon descends into spooky dungeons and forests full of Lovecraftian horrors and big evil bosses.
While the Evil West design isn’t my cup of tea, the action is slick and Flying Wild Hog appears to be flinging everything at the wall. After FWH’s lacklustre Shadow Warrior 3, Evil West will hopefully provide.
Evil does not sleep, but it does bleed. The American frontier is being consumed by a sinister threat. You’re the last agent in a top-secret vampire-hunting institute, and you’re the last line of defense between humanity and a deep-seated dread that’s suddenly surfacing from the shadows. Ascend to the rank of Wild West Superhero and save the United States from the vampire danger!
