West of Loathing

A gem in the Spittoon

[h1]A Silly, Smart, and Surprisingly Deep Adventure[/h1] West of Loathing is one of those games that had me grinning from the very first joke. It’s basically a stick-figure Wild West where everything is either absurd, hilarious, or both. One minute I’m having a polite conversation with a goblin in broken English, the next I’m fighting a gang of demonic cows, and somehow it all makes perfect sense. The humor isn’t just in the dialogue; it’s everywhere. Item descriptions, background signs, even the combat text had me laughing out loud more than once.

this game resuscitated my grandma from a certain demise

Frustratingly stupid. Primarily back and forth fetch quests. Repetitive combat

this game is wacky and funny filled with jokes and randomness all through out the game, i love it -ABUNDA LA CACAAAA

awesome game

yes

I have been a fan of K.O.L for about 20 years so I am bias in saying that this is a incredible, fun little game. Highly re-playable and a great addition to the world of loathing for fans like me.

I deeply anticipate anything to come from this series and appreciate how they have stayed true to their nature over the years and over platforms.

It fucking sucks!

Review from 2018: A very funny game that sometimes gets dragged down with repetition and a pretty boring combat system, made me laugh out loud a few times though, the game would benefit from a quest log as sometimes questlines get buried and forgotten
