I’m going to kick-start this community with my favorite Weird West work. Darkwatch had everything I wanted from a Weird Western: a vampire gunslinger shooting monsters at night. Sure, the gameplay could’ve been better (a lot better) but the world-building was so fun I loved it anyway.

I don’t know if I could handle playing the game again today; it got mediocre reviews even when it was released and the game mechanics are even more dated now. But I’ll always have a soft-spot for it and would love a sequel in this world.

Here’s a trailer showing just how ridiculous the game was.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. This is just a standard uniform all Darkwatch members wear when hunting monsters.

Oh. And there’s this…

Tala was featured as a digital pinup in Playboy’s Girls of Gaming issue in 2006.

Yeah… definitely a game of its era.

Weird West

Create post

Weird West (or Weird Western) is a genre of fiction that uses the Wild West period of American History as a foundation and then adds fantasy/supernatural elements to it. So stories where gunslingers encounter zombies, vampires, demons, robots, or any other creatures that wouldn’t otherwise be present in a standard Western.

This is a community for sharing various Weird West works. Movies, Books, Comics, Video Games, TV Shows, whatever fits.
