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
