The bad-mouthed western dialogue and banter between characters was humourous right from the opening intro cinematic and kept up throughout all 16 chapters in the game. Jessie is your typical kick ass monster hunter in Evil West with more of a western flare compared to someone like Van Helsing. Armed with a lightning-fueled gauntlet, firearms and various gadgets, you will kill bloodthirsty monstrosities in style as a lone hunter or in co-op with a friend. One of the last agents in RI, you are the final line between humanity and a deep-rooted terror that now emerges from the shadows. You play as Jesse Rentier, the heir to the vampire hunting Rentier Institute led by your father, William Rentier. A dark menace called the Sanguisuge consumes the American frontier. The Weird West is a recurring theme in 2022 and I’m all for it. Where Lo Wang was punching holes in demons, Jesse Rentier is doing the same, if not better, with these vampires and hideous monstrosities through the wild west frontier, snow-covered buildings and dank caves. This is yet another success story from Flying Wild Hogs, following releases like Trek to Yomi and Shadow Warrior 3 earlier this year. The story was engaging enough and while the levels were linear, the combat and gunplay was fantastic as you smashed your way monsters earning perks and bought upgrades for your weapons.
