A western themed roguelite bullet hell where the player uses an array of weapons, whiskey infusions and buffs gained from defeating bosses to complete each stage.
Howdy!
As you play Undead West, you’ll move through a vertical series of rooms, kind of like exploring a dungeon. Every Stage consits of several smaller 'rooms'. Each room you enter will either throw a bunch of enemies at you that you need to take out before the door to the next room opens, or you’ll find yourself in a 'trap' room that you’ll have to carefully navigate to make it through. So let's see what's waiting for you during your journey.
[h3][b]💀 Stages[/b][/h3]
Undead West begins in the deep Catacombs, a crypt full of rats, bats, and slimes intent on making you their next meal. Move through the bones and cobbled stone hallways of ancient architecture, dodge spike traps and face the monsters that lie at the end of the passageways to encounter your first test.

If you survive, the next step is up and out to the Graveyard. This misty burial ground littered with tombs and gravestones is home to not just more undead, but ghosts as well! Skeleton rats, skulls, and ghosts of gunslingers long since past stand in your way.
Strange necromantic magic resonates in those old bones…

Next step: the Mines. After the Graveyard you must pass through the underground Mines to continue further, facing both the natural inhabitants of spiders, grubs, and an odd kind of… rock lobster, as well as those digging to make their fortune who are not happy to meet an intruder. If you can get past the creepy crawlies, dodge the rock falls and face the unfathomable Beast of the Depths….

It’s back out into the open air! Where the dust on the wind blows freely and so does the hail of lead heading your way. Bandits with shotguns, rifles, chainguns and very sharp knives want your money, so keep shooting and rolling! Don’t roll into a cactus though, or into some snakes and scorpions.

You made it onto the Train! Next stop: revenge. But those bandits have caught up with you, and now you have to make your way to the front of the moving train by any means necessary. Horse-riding rifle-wielding longshots will ride up beside you to take you on, wagons of pistol-wielding ruffians aim to bring you down so keep moving forward!

Here it is, the last stop. Here at the end of the road, the last challenge of your journey. In this Town, the Sherrifs and lawmen defend the Man in Red and refuse to let you through. The Bartenders pull out their shotguns and say: “You’re not welcome here! You’ve had your last drink!”. Beat the gamblers, run through the high risk high stakes halls and don’t slip up or it’s back to the beginning.
