unlabelledView post →West of Dead with all DLC included, only $5.24 on PSN. Excellent twinstick shooter roguelite. This was the game that turned me on to the roguelite format. With voiceover by Ron Perlman and an EXCELLENT western-style soundtrack.
unlabelledView post →15. Ys III for PC Engine CD has my favorite game soundtrack of all time. But Katana Zero, West of Dead, No Man's Sky, and inFamous Second Son come really damn close.
unlabelledView post →In West of Dead, I had a bug where after beating a boss one time, it didn't finish the stage and borked the run. That's in a rogue-lite, where I could just start a new short run. People will defend game-ending bugs in massive Bethesda projects though. Skyrim got away with too much, now its 'normal'

unlabelledView post →3 - West of Dead. Mignola-esque visuals in a top-down old west rogue like. Great game.
unlabelledView post →I loved West of Dead, I never ended up beating it because I got to a level I I just could not pass but man did I put a lot of time into that game. It’s really, really good.
unlabelledView post →i've got a chance to play - MediEvil - Carto - Coolboarders - West of Dead I've lost touch with gaming for last 8 years because anything that isn't hypercompetitive and knowledge based just doesnt give me the rush (i blame years wasted on lol for it) and this has been fun so maybe 1/2
unlabelledView post →West of Dead is a Western themed roguelite twin stick shooter. Aside from featuring mf Ron Perlman as your player character, the game has super smooth gameplay, a fun story, and makes you feel like a badass. You alternate between cover, choose relics and weapons, and escape purgatory 😲😲😲
unlabelledView post →I'm arbitrarily keeping this a little less mainstream so I can share some lesser known games or older ones. As such, I shall go with West of Dead next. Another game has some really good theming that caters to my tastes, including featuring my favorite Hellboy Ron Perlman youtu.be/gsf4wNCJqB4?...
