Financé avec succès via Kickstarter en septembre dernier, le projet de jeu de combats tactiques au Far West des polonais de Creative Forge semble prendre de mieux en mieux forme. En effet le studio a annoncé il y a peu un partenariat avec Gambitious, opération permettant au passage de confirmer la sortie du jeu cet automne.
Il est encore assez difficile de se faire une bonne idée de ce que proposera Hard West. Mis à part qu’on y contrôlera une bande de 1 à 4 cowboys, qu’il y aura de l’aventure au travers d’une histoire scénarisée, du tour par tour et … des démons. Des démons, oui, car c’est l’une des originalités de ce titre, en plus de devoir probablement affronter des bandits et autres pistoleros, le jeu fera un sérieux détour du coté du surnaturel. Plus précisément il s’agira de lutter contre un culte satanique dont les membres sont a priori parvenus à réveiller les morts. Faute d’en savoir plus pour l’instant, la nouvelle vidéo ci-dessus, diffusée dans le cadre du salon Gamescom 2015, permet tout au moins de découvrir un moteur de jeu sympathique.

Demon Saloon, Western Frontier — July 30, 2015
Brutally Beautiful Tactical-Western, Hard West, Debuting at Gamescom and PAX Prime, Launching Autumn 2015– The successful Kickstarter project from the twisted Polish minds at CreativeForge Games brings a gritty frontier-inspired turn-based tactical game and adds a dash of the supernatural to create the weird, Wild West –
DEMON SALOON, WESTERN FRONTIER – Publisher Gambitious Digital Entertainment and developer CreativeForge Games have performed ritualistic blood sacrifice and joined spiritual forces on the successful Kickstarter project, Hard West – a classic Western tale of supernatural chaos and revenge coming to the PC platform in Autumn 2015 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/307670/). Hard West will make its press debut in the business area of Gamescom, and will be shown at PAX Prime in the PAX Rising section of the show in booth #4043.
Originally successfully backed on Kickstarter to the tune of almost 5,000 backers, Hard West features a deep narrative of choice and fate, where the Luck of the Draw acts as your unique guardian in this brutal, beautiful, inspired classic world presented in a way no human has ever experienced.
Follow Warren on his descent into the darkest recesses of the human soul, and try to survive in a world full of hard choices and even harder consequences. Because in the frontier world of Hard West, death is a constant presence and the black pacts which you make with forces beyond human comprehension will forever haunt all those around you.
Hard West combines the imaginative minds of the dangerously creative Polish developers to tell a deeply riveting tale which was written in collaboration with Haris Orkin (Company of Heroes 2, Dying Light and Call of Juarez series), and features an original score composed by Marcin Przyby?owicz (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt).
Hard West features compelling tactical turn-based combat where players control 1-4 posse members dead-set against a world of satanic cults, arcane rituals, spirits and demons. Collect and master a range of western-inspired special abilities and create powerful combos to customize your gunslingers. You’ll need them at their deadliest.
