Similiar games
West Hunt is a multiplayer deduction game set in the Wild West, where players take on the roles of either a criminal or a sheriff. The criminal’s goal is to complete various missions, such as bribing the bartender, poisoning water supplies, or robbing the bank, all while blending into the crowd to avoid detection. The sheriff, on the other hand, must observe the bustling town, gather clues, and identify the criminal without mistakenly targeting innocent townsfolk.
Strategies for Criminals and Sheriffs
For criminals, stealth is the key to success. Blending in with NPCs and performing side tasks to lower your wanted level can keep suspicion low. Completing missions strategically, without drawing attention, increases the chances of outsmarting the sheriff. Sheriffs must carefully analyze NPC behavior, investigate mailboxes for hints, and make calculated decisions. Firing on an innocent civilian results in an automatic loss, so patience and observation are essential for success.
Customization and Game Modes
West Hunt offers multiple modes, including 1v1, 2v2, and custom matches, allowing players to tailor their experience. The game also features extensive customization options, such as choosing unique appearances for sheriffs and unlocking emotes to celebrate victories or lament defeats. Players can even bring along a dog, which reacts when the sheriff targets the criminal, adding a playful layer of tension to the game.
