About West of Loathing

✦ AI summary

Explore a wild west frontier filled with skeleton cowboys, demon cows, and disgusting spittoons in this slapstick RPG where you can talk your way through trouble, master cosmic bean magic, or just punch everything. With a sprawling open world packed with thousands of jokes, hand-drawn black and white graphics, optional turn-based combat, and over 50 different hats to wear, West of Loathing is comedy adventure gaming at its finest.

Say howdy to West of Loathing -- a single-player slapstick comedy adventure role-playing game set in the wild west of the Kingdom of Loathing universe. Traverse snake-infested gulches, punch skeletons wearing cowboy hats, grapple with demon cows, and investigate a wide variety of disgusting spittoons.

Talk your way out of trouble as a silver-tongued Snake Oiler, plumb the refried mysteries of the cosmos as a wise and subtle Beanslinger, or let your fists do the talking as a fierce Cow Puncher. Explore a vast open world and encounter a colorful cast of characters, some of whom are good, many of whom are bad, and a few of whom are ugly.

  • a sprawling open world, chock full of danger, quests, puzzles, and mysteries
  • lush hand-drawn black and white graphics
  • full stick-figure customization
  • thousands of jokes, gags, and goofs

  • over 50 hats
  • disreputable saloons
  • several gulches
  • a drunk horse
NOTE: characters are not literally colorful (the game is in black and white)

I bought this game after I watched Markiplier play it. I have beaten this game a few times, and it was quite enjoyable.

What they all said - it's fun, silly, and surprisingly well-crafted. I wish I had played it sooner.

played through the whole game in a few days, definitely coming back for a hard mode playthrough though, really nice game, never really got bored or to a point of wanting to drop it, easy enough controls, game gives you the opportunity to grind a lot, but its not necessary, and most of the game can all be done in a single playthrough, apart from a few points where you can get really unlucky (part of the reason I'm sure ill do another playthrough) ((for the added context: their is ONE, location you can be locked out of in a save file ,i got locked out of it because my under leveled character picked a fight i was not prepared for, and the guy left, there is technically another way to access the location, but i got locked out of it as well)), definitely going to check out the next game when i can. few puzzles throughout but most (there was one i did not feel like doing ,and it was optional and really not impactful), are ones you shouldn't have any problems doing yourself. the dlc was also good, though i must admit i went in a tad over leveled, still though, I'll probably through it again to on my next run.

This is one of the best games ever made. The storytelling will have you laughing your head off and the gameplay is so much fun. I first got it on Switch a few years ago and just bought it on Steam to replay it again and it's just as fun as I remember. I would absolutely recommend this game to anybody! It's become one of my favorite games ever!

West of Loathing takes the Kingdom of Loathing setting and makes it... historical? Stick figures fighting demonic cows in a fictional West full of killer clowns, skeletons, and snakes. Discover ancient technology, use a pickaxe to make a fortune in Meat, and correspond with your family back home. Always enable the Silly Walks option. More games should have this feature, it's right up there with Big Head mode.
