West of Loathing — a slapstick comedy stick-figure wild west adventure role-playing game.
The single-player adventure tasks you with exploring the wild west of the "Kingdom of Loathing" universe, featuring a distinctive stick-figure art style and comedic, slapstick tone.
At the start, you choose from three distinct character classes - the melee-focused Cow Puncher, magic-wielding Beanslinger, or silver-tongued Snake Oiler. As you gain experience from quests and combat, you allocate skill points to customize your unique build, upgrading abilities like dialogue, combat, and miscellaneous skills.
You freely roam the sprawling overworld map, traveling between locations like towns, mines, and ranches. Random encounters, including combat, may occur during your travels. You can also choose to "wander" the map, generating a randomized loop to uncover new areas.
Beyond the main questline, you'll engage with a large number of side quests involving NPC interactions, item gathering, and environmental puzzles. The game's clever, humorous writing adapts to your choices and character build.
Combat uses a turn-based format, allowing you to strategically select attacks, abilities, and items. While relatively straightforward, you can approach encounters differently based on your skills and inventory, with some encounters avoidable through skilled dialogue.
The game's branching questlines, dialogue options, and three unique character classes encourage multiple playthroughs. Careful decision-making is incentivized by the use of autosave and lack of manual saving.
