A quote from the article:
West of Dead has good ideas, but several issues prevent it from being truly special.

West of Dead, a new roguelike twin-stick shooter from developer Upstream Arcade, takes a genre typically set in fantasy universes and brings it to a Wild West-inspired purgatory where people who die are cursed with endless resurrection due to the machinations of a devious preacher. Your job? To stop him by gunslinging your way through the game's gauntlet of levels until you finally reach him and end the madness. Unfortunately, while the concept and style of the game is good fun, there are lots of issues with the game's execution that hold it back from greatness.
