What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The Dark West is an action RPG featuring tons of loot and powerful character builds, and community feedback is essential before a full release. Loot balance, optimizing enemy difficulty, and refining the in-game economy are key aspects of our development process. Launching without an early access phase would risk compromising the player experience—our top priority. By collaborating with the community, we can refine and enhance the game together, ensuring it delivers a deep and rewarding ARPG experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our game is planned to be in Early Access for at least One year, and and scheduled to release in the ending of 2026.”

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

“Our plan is to add five acts, multiple classes, dynamic system such as crafting and skill trees and a unique and innovative endgame.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will give everything you need to enjoy The Dark West as it is meant to be played. That will include multiple acts, bosses, fully functioning systems such as crafting.”

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

“Once the game is out of Early Access, we plan to make The Dark West free-to-play.”

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

“You can do your part and leave your feedback on our discord, we are always listening and looking for improvements to make this the best ARPG”

About This Game

The Dark West is an ARPG forged in blood and ruin, for those who live and breathe the genre. Face the cursed frontier, where faith and damnation war beneath an eternal dusk. Every battle is brutal, every choice carves a path through the filth of a world where greed unearthed something fouler than death. Struggle through the wasteland of corruption, where the strong don’t just survive, they decide what’s left to rule.

Step into the dying heart of Blackveil, where the land itself is poisoned by black magic, a force ancient and unyielding, twisting the world into something unrecognizable. It does not grant power—it demands it, turning men into monsters and justice into a whispered lie. Now, two sides rise in the ruin: The Order – zealots cloaked in justice, wielding iron and faith, blind to the rot spreading in their ranks. The Damned – cursed souls lost to black magic’s grip, their bodies warped, their minds unraveling. In this land, trust is a slow death, and the real danger isn’t what waits in the dark—it’s who’s standing beside you when the killing starts.

Key Features

  • Choose Your Fate

    Make your outlaw. Pick your class. Wield your own brand of violence to carve through the        horrors ahead. Whether you master the art of gunplay, steel, or the unnatural, you’ll need        every skill, every trick, and every ruthless instinct to stand a chance. No one rides through      the Dark West clean.

  • Power. Greed. Survival

    Arm yourself with weapons steeped in history and horror. Bloodstained steel, hexed                  revolvers, cursed relics that bite deeper than any blade—every tool has a price, and none        come without risk. Experiment with deadly builds, forge your own path, and embrace the          ruthless dance of combat. From scourged firearms to artifacts twisted by black magic,              every weapon at your side could be your savior—or your downfall.

  • A new type of movement

    Movement in The Dark West is fluid and realistic, driven by physics and inertia for a natural      yet dynamic feel. Positioning is crucial, and the instant dodge allows last-second evasions      without long animations, rewarding precise timing and smart decision-making in every            battle.

  • A new take on Inventory System

    it’s a living, tactical extension of your journey. Every weapon, armor and trinket tells a story, dynamically shifting as you scavenge to survive. With an intuitive layout built for speed and strategy, quick-access slots keep you locked and loaded. Adapt, optimize, and stay one step ahead—because in the Dark West, every item could mean the difference between life and death."

The True Test Awaits

Only the strongest, the most cunning, and the most ruthless will endure. Face off against legendary abominations, duel vagrants at the edges of the world, and ride through unforgiving frontiers where the dead don’t stay buried. The Dark West does not forgive. Will you tame it, or will you be another soul lost to the hexfire that devours all?
