Our take on Undead West
Bullet-hell newcomers may bounce off when rooms fill with enemy fire and traps at the same time. Players who rely on a single weapon may also hit a wall when progression expects souls to open additional guns and whiskey-based combat boosts.
What is Undead West?
Undead West is a top-down western shooter built around roguelite stages and bullet-hell combat.
A resurrected gunslinger pursues the Man in Red while repaying Death with souls earned from defeated enemies. Each stage contains hazardous areas, traps, demons, skeletons, dense bullet patterns, and a boss encounter. Rooms and enemy appearances are randomized across 7 western-themed stages. Combat uses revolvers, shotguns, rifles, a bow, and a minigun, alongside whiskey mixtures that provide short-term boosts. Souls also unlock additional guns, whiskey boons, and character outfits. The run ends with a confrontation against the Man in Red, while the presentation uses noir-influenced pixel art.
