Review: “Weird West” is an ambitious RPG that bites off more than it can chew
In the renowned brothel Quigley’s Lantern Room, a staff member asks me to dispose of the abusive owner. Do it quietly, she says, throw him off his balcony to make it look like an accident, and leave unseen. Some minutes of sneaking around later and I’m in the owner’s office, creeping up behind him as he sits in his chair. Perfect. The prompt for a nonlethal takedown appears. My finger curls on the trigger.
There’s plenty to keep you busy here, though, much of which will help you prepare for your main quest — a wanted board where you can pick up bounties to earn extra cash for supplies, for instance, and hired guns you can invite to join your posse , adding much needed firepower in the random ambushes you’ll trigger as you venture across the map toward your latest objective. Or you might browse shops by day then return at night to break in and steal the stuff you couldn’t afford.
Indeed, once foes are alert to your presence, it’s often best to stick to your guns — literally. Switching between a pistol, rifle and shotgun, with a little luck and cover you’ll be the last one standing. Appropriate for a story of the lawless Wild West, you might think, but hardly in the spirit of a genre defined by player choice. Nor does combat have any of the tension you might associate with Western shootouts.
