Searching for the murderer entails wandering from town to town, through deserts and mines while talking to characters along the way. Conversations with characters often times lead to jobs.
All this overlayed with a wonderful soundtrack that would feel at home in any western flick. A film strip overlay is shown behind characters as they converse, just one of many indications found throughout Westerado that indicate it takes place on a film set. The universe Westerado takes place in is easily recognizable: A western with cowboys, a quest for vengeance, a bank, an oil man, a saloon with strong female characters in tow this is a spaghetti western. Dialog for characters is written in a south western dialect that makes anyone feel like a real life cowboy when reading it aloud. The beginning of Westerado is one of the strongest openings of a game I’ve ever played, and gives the player a real sense of purpose, revenge. He gurgles blood as he asks for you to end his suffering, you cock your gun, as tears stream down your face you pull the trigger.
Your brother doesn’t have much information about who did this, but he does give you one single clue, information about the killers clothing. The glow soon becomes embers as you realize your family ranch is ablaze, blood is strewn about the ground, your mother is slaughtered and your brother is fatally wounded. The night sky glows orange in the distance while returning home, a strange sight for the west. It starts like any normal day, waking up to help your family take care of the ranch, rounding up some buffalo back to their pen. Well then partner ya better rustle up some dinero, head past the local brothel to your favorite virtual saloon and get yerself a copy of Westerado: Double Barreled, a game best served with a cold sarsaparilla. Do you like spaghetti westerns with charm, humor, hammy accents and over the top violence? How about revenge flicks, video games with retro style graphics? Do you like fun? Are you breathing oxygen?
