While investigating a sudden surge in demonic forces, the Rentier Institute is attacked and William is bitten by a vampire. Evil West’s simple, linear gameplay is at once a charming throwback to a time before quadruple-A games dominated the market, and a stark reminder that action games have come a long way in the past 15 years.Įvil West’s 12-hour campaign follows Jesse Rentier, vampire hunter and heir to the government-funded Rentier Institute, founded by his father William. It’s not just an ode to the world of Darkwatch though, it also embodies the PS2-era of action games, warts and all.

Heck, even the folder where your save files are stored on PC is labeled “highmoon”. From the secret government organization that wages a shadow war against the forces of evil, to the gruff cowboy hero’s high-tech arsenal of teslapunk weaponry, Evil West uses Darkwatch’s haunted west as a template. It’s more than just a passive resemblance.
I can’t say for certain whether or not Evil West started out as a Darkwatch reboot - though I can tell you the original Darkwatch creators would have bought the rights back from Activision if they could have - it is clear that the spirit of Darkwatch lives on in Evil West. After successfully resurrecting Shadow Warrior, it’s easy to imagine studio Flying Wild Hog setting its sights on another cult classic shooter, High Moon’s vampire western Darkwatch.
