Is Evil West a looter shooter?

Is there loot in the Wild West?

Evil West is an upcoming action-adventure game by developer Flying Wild Hogs and publisher Focus Home Interactive. While the game doesn't have an official release date outside of 2022, many are looking forward to playing the game. But the question has been asked if Evil West is a looter shooter.

The answer is no—Evil West is not a looter shooter. The developer confirmed this in an Evil West Steam discussion post. The developer stated it is a third-person combat action-adventure game rather than a looter shooter like Borderlands or Destiny. This means there is no major looting system to the game.

Is there a story in Evil West?

Evil West also features a story-driven campaign for you to enjoy. The Steam page details that there are perks to unlock and upgrades available. These allow you to customize your playstyle and battle the forces of evil.

So if you were expecting Evil West to be a looter shooter, you would need to alter your expectations. However, those looking for a narrative-based action game will be happy to know that is what Evil West offers.
