The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Playing Evil West feels like a pulpy, high-octane action movie set in a supernatural Wild West, where you blast and punch through hordes of monsters with over-the-top weapons and abilities.

What players say

Players praise the punchy, combo-driven combat and the unique cowboys vs vampires theme, comparing it favorably to Doom Eternal. Many appreciate the linear, no-filler level design, but there is strong disagreement: some call the enemies bullet sponges, and a significant minority report technical issues like bugs, stuttering, and poor co-op implementation that the developers never fixed.
