- Players who want a single ending may not want a campaign with multiple possible conclusions
Our take on Cursed West
The defining detail is its split structure: left-to-right 2D combat is combined with 3D sections built around avoiding detection, alongside horseback stages.
What is Cursed West?
Cursed West combines traditional 2D gameplay with 3D levels.
In the 2D stages, players move from left to right while defeating enemies. The 3D levels require crossing areas without raising suspicion or being detected. Other stages feature horseback sequences focused on reaching the end or surviving. The game includes multiple possible endings and hidden items to find. Three unlockable modes add different campaign options: Boss Rush places a timer on boss fights, Alternative Campaign lets players control another character, and Infinity adds three stages to the campaign.
