About

West of Dead, released in 2020, is a captivating indie action-adventure game that casts players as William Mason, a dead man navigating the eerie landscapes of Purgatory. This twin-stick shooter combines fast-paced action with strategic cover mechanics, challenging players to outmaneuver and outgun enemies in procedurally generated levels. Notable for its dark Wild West aesthetic, the game offers an engaging experience that puts your skills to the test.

In terms of PC performance, West of Dead is relatively accessible for gamers, requiring only an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 2691. Players can achieve solid FPS performance with hardware like the NVIDIA GTX 750 or comparable AMD cards. For the best experience, a system with around 4 GB of RAM and a CPU score of at least 3652 is recommended, allowing for smooth gameplay and respectable graphics settings.

While critically rated at 64/100, West of Dead has its charm, especially for fans of the action and indie genres. If you're looking for a unique blend of fast-paced shooting and a gritty atmosphere, this game is worth trying out, particularly if you appreciate challenging gameplay and intriguing storytelling.

Performance profile

Released in June 2020, West of Dead targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

West of Dead is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.

Extremely light — West of Dead runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Purgatory, Wyoming, 1888. A place of gun smoke and darkness, sin and damnation, wendigos and witches. A shifting, chaotic world that takes its form from the memories, culture or beliefs of the souls who pass through. When a dead man awakens with only the memory of a figure in black, he sets into motion a chain of events that have truly mythic consequences.
