    About the game

    You play Jesse, a vampire hunter in an Old West overrun with monsters. Most of the time you fight. You shoot, punch and use a lightning gauntlet to clear one arena after another. Perks and weapon upgrades change how you fight as the campaign goes on.

    A second player can join online. The host invites a friend, who can come along for a few missions or the whole campaign. Both of you play Jesse, so nobody gets a separate role. Only the host's save moves forward, so the guest does not keep the progress.

    Fights are quick and loud, and the story stays simple. It suits two friends who want action more than puzzles. In one review, connecting to a session took a few tries.
