What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to get the game in the hands of interested players as soon as possible to begin gathering feedback, fine-tuning the mechanics, and tweaking the balance to make 1.0 the best it can be”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently the projected date for the full release is Winter 2024”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full version of the game we are looking to add a third zone that serves as the finale to the story with new enemies and a final boss. In addition, we are aiming for a progression system that allows players to gradually gain character power over several runs.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, all of our core in-run systems in place, please refer to the description section to see what is currently implemented. We are working hard on expanding the variety of weapons, runes, and enemies available.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During Early Access the game will remain at a discounted price, up until the 1.0 release where it will be bumped up slightly to the full price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“In order to give the community a voice I will be setting up forms for user feedback & bug reports, and am in the process of setting up a discord server as well”

About This Game

Something Ancient Beckons. You must seek it. West of the Witchlands.

Key Features

Top-Down Action Roguelike

West of the Witchlands is a cooperative roguelike where players fight hordes of gnoll thralls using a variety of spells and firearms in an occult western setting. Maps are pseudo-generated out of tilesets that are fit together randomly every run, so the map layout is different every time. Venture across desert, forest, and mountain to fight an ancient entity cloistered in the mountains, with chaotic twin-stick shooting and an atmospheric soundtrack to back it up.

Guns, Spells, Runes

Customize your arsenal with an array of mystical runes, each granting unique and powerful effects. From explosive revolvers to homing Gatling gun rounds, bolster your weapons with a variety of properties and upgrades to better face the Gnoll horde.

Kill 1 Billion Gnolls

As the shadows grow longer, your enemies grow stronger. The horde is strengthened by the rising moon, and the closer you get to your goal, the thicker the pack becomes
