Evil West is full of thrilling kinetic combat, and it nails the most important parts of a monster-killing campaign. But limited enemy variety, a forgettable story, and repetitive level design weigh it down.

Evil West is far from the most complex or innovative action game around, but it nails the most important parts of its old-school, monster-killing campaign.
