Restoring the Savage Legacy of Action RPGs
In a frontier where lawlessness and legend walk side by side, a new ARPG is revealed today. The Dark West is an occult Action RPG from the new independent studio Black Hand, a team of ARPG enthusiasts determined to restore the genre to its former glory.
The Dark West takes place in a frontier where faith has worn thin and something sinister has seeped into the soil. Combat is brutal and quick. Define your builds through skills, itemization, and a poker-style deck system where forming familiar hands unlocks powerful effects.
“We made The Dark West because we love ARPGs and wanted to create the kind of game we have always wanted to play. From the start, we’ve included the community in every step of development. Their feedback is shaping the combat, the story, and the world. This is a game made with players, not just for them,” said the Game Director at Black Hand.
About The Dark West
The Dark West is an Action RPG that challenges both your skill and sanity. Face a cursed western frontier, where faith and damnation war. Carve a path through a fallen world where sin unearthed something fouler than death.
- Master Brutal Combat: Gunfire cracks as dark powers surface. Survival demands grit, determination, and one simple rule: kill or be killed.
- Build Your Path to Damnation: Power is gained over time through skill choices and hard-earned gear. Your choices between bad and worse decide how far you’re willing to fall. In the end, all that matters is who’s left standing.
- Explore a Dying World: The frontier has fallen. Black magic has tainted the land and anything that breathes on it. Those who stay alive learn the cost isn’t paid in coin, but in blood.
- Trust Only Your Steel: Two forces rise from the ruins. The Order is armored in self-righteousness but blinded by hypocrisy. The Damned are cursed, exhibiting sin forged in survival. True danger is not what lurks in the dark but who stands behind you when the killing starts.
