Developer/publisher Black Hand is adding to the growing list of titles that take advantage of the Wild West setting with their dark fantasy Action RPG, The Dark West.
An occult west lies under a sun that refuses to rise. The land bears the curse of people who got too greedy, and paid the price for what they were willing to do for it. Two sides have risen from the ruin. The Order speaks of justice and wears it like armor, unwilling to see the rot growing among its own. Meanwhile, The Damned are already claimed by black magic, cursed and unapologetic about what it has made of them. The real danger is not what waits in the dark, but who’s standing behind you when the killing begins.
Players will choose characters shaped by difficult pasts, where violence settles most questions, and the rest are answered by choices that haunt your soul. In keeping with the Wild West theme, alcohol will give you strength, but at the obvious cost of dulling your senses, requiring you to weigh your options in battle.
In addition to customizing your character with dynamic skills and legendary weapons, The Dark West features a unique Card System. Players assemble a 5-card hand from a standard set of 52 cards and a set of tarot cards that acts as an extension to your character build, offering unique bonuses.
