Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil... prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...
- Terry Pratchett
Am pretty sure all previous introductions of demons and shit, they were resistant to being hatched to pieces by axes, swords, etc
Holy buckshot with little crosses carved into every ball.
In old school Christianity demons were spirits with no physical body so you pretty much god rid of them by yelling "In Jesus' name fuck off" in Latin.
Hunt Showdown's premise is that you're a cowboy, it's 1899, there's spooky shit happening in the Louisiana bayou, and some unnamed but apparently quite wealthy figures will pay you to go in their with a gun and come back with proof you killed a monster. You may have some competition, though.
It's a player vs player vs environment stealth extraction shooter with lever guns and wheel guns and some very questionable black magic thrown in. It also has a working matchmaking system.
Hunt: Showdown is cowboys murdering demons and sometimes doing magical things but not really
It's much more forgiving and easier to get in to than Tarkov. And you get to be a cowboy, which is something Tarkov fails to deliver.
The DLC special characters are a really wild cross section of people you might run in to in 1896. There's one samurai left over from the Satsuma Rebellion. There are Chinese immigrants who apparently did spooky demon killing back home. There's an unscrupulous witch hunter from Massachusetts. There's a butcher who can get you any gun in the world as long as it can fit inside a cow carcass. There's a voodoo doctor who might be pretending to be a voodoo doctor. There's a bunch of cops. There's an apocalyptic cult. There's a crazy cat lady. There are three werewolves. There's some native Americans and the critics are out on whether it's appropriation or representation. There's a genuine cowboy from an old west cowboy show. There's a mountain man. There's a dead gambler. There's a sixteen year old. There's a several different Mexican indigenous gunslinging crime ladies. There's a prostitute. There's Ebenezer Scrooge. There's Krampus. There's a naked cave dude. There's an escaped mental patient who has a compelling back story but a really unfortunate "Kubrick Stare" default expression. There's an archeologist who is in way over her head. There's a library researcher who is also in way over his head. There's a nun. And there's an alligator hunter. And they're all trying to collect a bounty, over each other's collective dead bodies if that's what it takes.
' Blood West '. You're not a wizard but you are a cowboy with some spooky powers fighting zombies and demons.
It's a tabletop rpg, but Dogs in the Vineyard is extremely good. It involves being a weird cowboy cultist going from town to town solving supernatural mysteries. Lots of wandering around the desert. Really good with the right players.
Blood West is a neat little FPS game I played recently. Lots of cowboy stuff and shooting demons.
Clive Barker's Undying maybe? It has a revolver and magic spells. Good atmosphere and wacky plot with Lovecraft style wizards and parallel dimensions.
Blood is a pretty good Doom-era FPS game, you play as a zombie cowboy set out to destroy a spooky demon cult
