Far Far West brings cowboy robot gunplay and co-op chaos to your next game night
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Evil Raptor and Fireshine Games have released a playable Steam demo for Far Far West, a cooperative gaspunk shooter featuring cowboy robots, card-based spells, and procedurally generated undead hordes.
If your regular squad is looking for a palate cleanser after hours of spreading galactic democracy, developer Evil Raptor and publisher Fireshine Games might have just the ticket. Far Far West is a one to four player cooperative first person shooter that leans hard into a distinct gaspunk aesthetic, dropping players onto procedurally generated maps filled with undead foes and eccentric objectives. As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, the gameplay loop mixes familiar horde shooter mechanics with unexpected twists, letting players climb towers for music discs, activate ancient totems, and even take down a ghost train.
What sets the title apart from the grimdark intensity of other current co-op hits is its lighter tone and unique combat sandbox. Alongside traditional clanky firearms, players can fling spells by flicking magical cards and summon mechanical mounts to traverse the frontier quickly. It blends elements reminiscent of Destiny style gunplay with a comedic frontier romp, complete with standard between mission progression systems and cosmetic unlocks that fit right into modern gaming economies without taking themselves too seriously.
The project is heading toward an early access launch later this year, but curious players do not have to wait to test the waters. A playable demo is currently live on Steam, giving groups a chance to try out the dual wielding, gold gathering, and skeleton busting action firsthand. You can check out the original coverage over at Rock Paper Shotgun to read more about developer Evil Raptor's previous work on Akimbot and see if this chaotic frontier adventure belongs in your weekly rotation.
