Playing this game it reminded me a ton of Darkwatch, while it isn't exactly Darkwatch this is very much the closest thing I will ever get to a Darkwatch like game

[icarus the improviser]

someone does remember!

It does remind me of Dark Watch. Man I miss that game...
Sadly had to sell that title back in the day, as my parents forced me to sell some of my video games before they would let me buy new ones... With my own money no less...
Still annoyed over that, and that is part of why I immediately gravitated towards this game. ^^

There is an upcoming game from the makers of Shadow Warrior, that looks like it fits the Dark Watch bill quite well. Even got vampires as the main enemy.

That one reminds me more of Remnant: From the Ashes.

May I ask why you think so?

Evil West is not a Lovecraftian Soul's-like RPG like Remnant: From the Ashes is.
It is set in a Western historical setting like Dark Watch, while Remnant: From the Ashes is set in our post-apocalyptic future, dominated by eldritch aliens from other worlds.
Remnants: From the Ashes is bleak, like really bleak... As we are the Remnants from the Ashes.

In Remnant, Earth does not really belong to us anymore, and the eldritch creatures, that now call our planet home, made us into a critically endangered species, almost over-night.
Remnant: From the Ashes's entire feel and themes are centered around humanity circling the extinction drain with little to no hope of escaping it...
We are reduced to playthings, and food, for alien entities and monsters we can not even hope to fully comprehend.

Dark Watch focused on fighting vampires, specifically in a Wild West setting, so does Evil West.
In Remnant: From the Ashes you are going on a globe-trotting, world jumping odyssey through time and space, across the Universe.

Dark Watch was a single-player, or co-op experience(though the graphics dropped sharply in quality to support that mode), arcade-like vampire shooter, like Evil West aims to be as well.

And Dark Watch is a power fantasy, you are literally becoming one of the most powerful vampires in existence while you play the game's story-line.
In Evil West you play as one of the World's foremost vampire hunting experts, with technology, experience, skills, and attitude to make the vampires shake with fear in their coffins.

And in both Dark Watch, and Evil West, the World is still largely as we knew it back then.
The vampires do not rule the World yet. Humanity is still continuing life as normal, with the vampire hunting happening behind the scenes, in secrecy.
The tragic victims, drained and left for dead, are forgotten and dismissed as rabid animal attacks, or the unfortunate victims of "normal" serial killers.
If the vampires win, then yeah, humanity will descend into a dark age of blood and darkness, but that has yet to come to pass.

So I have problems seeing your point of view, I suppose. ^^'
But, each to their own and all that.

what a blow, i got the ps2 version...but it was kinda shoe horned, the graphics suffered.

[Bullets don't go where I aim]

The game feels very inspired by hunt showdown.
Even the way you equip weapons and items.

Dark Watch is primarily an action game, the main character is a vampiric gunslinger with access to silver-bladed guns; it's similar to games like Halo or Serious Sam. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE Dark Watch and Blood West does tap into the dark west fantasy setting I adore. However the dark west setting is pretty much the only similarity.

Blood West has more in common with the Thief, Deus Ex, and System Shock series mechanically. Your goal is to gather supplies and use your weaponry tactically because you will get destroyed if you rush in guns blazing. I'm a sucker for exploration based shooters

Ubisoft, Capcom and a now sierra absorbed then Blizzard absorbed game studio called High Moon Studios made Darkwatch. I'd love to see a port make it to steam but I bet Capcom will war with Ubisoft over rights. And of course the people at High Moon are working on CoD games. Every small dev studio that gets absorbed ends up in CoD development. These guys made a Bourne game, Deadpool game and the famouse Darkwatch along with various Transformer games.
