Release Date: December 5, 2023
Retro FPS with a horror and western feel from the Polish studio Hyperstrange. In Blood West, as a ghostly desperado we deal with demons in an abandoned mining settlement, whether massacring enemies in dynamic clashes or eliminating them silently.
Blood West is a first-person survival horror western-style shooter. It is another project of the Warsaw-based independent studio Hyperstrange, which previously created Postal: Brain Damaged.
In Blood West we play a dead gunman, who is not granted peace. Instead of heaven (or hell) a cursed mining town, overrun by demons and ancient horror, awaits him. In this place you can't count on faith and prayers for the dead - only a shotgun at your side gives you comfort and maybe allows you to stop this afterlife adventure.
Although the mix of FPS and hordes from hell may bring to mind the Doom series, Blood West goes in a slightly different direction. Instead of incredible stunts and neck-breaking action, the Hyperstrange studio's creation features a more methodical and somewhat survivalist gameplay. Of course, there are dynamic clashes with demonic enemies, but the game doesn't discourage us to eliminate them quietly.
Exploration of locations and searching for resources such as ammunition plays an important role. In addition, as we progress in the game, we develop the character's attributes, which makes fighting groups of increasingly difficult enemies easier.
Graphically Blood West is a retro-style game, using angular graphics ( low poly) and clearly low resolution.

GameGrin: 8.5 / 10 by Jacob Sanderson
Blood West is a fantastic stealth FPS with some light immersive sim elements. The world feels incredibly bleak, yet super atmospheric, definitely worth the pickup!
God is a Geek: 9 / 10 by Lyle Carr
Blood West doesn't pull any punches and is more than happy to kill you over and over again, but it makes overcoming the odds so satisfying.
COGconnected: 80 / 100 by Michael Chow
If you are a fan of classic stealth FPS games, classic FPS games, or even Western games in general, Blood West will be right up your alley. And if you’re not, Blood West may still be worth your time if you have any interest in it based on some of its other factors such as the eldritch horror, resource management, or even challenging gameplay. As someone who hasn’t had as much experience with stealth FPS games, it did take a bit of time to get accustomed to its workings, but once I hit my stride, I found it hard to put the game down.
