“Don’t Die in the West”: A Wild West Co-op RPG Adventure

calimonk November 04, 2023

Don't Die in the West is set to immerse players in a co-op cowboy open world RPG where they can ignite their wild west fantasies by starting a gang and building their own ranch. This game is a unique blend of the familiar, drawing inspiration from popular titles like Stardew Valley, Valheim, and Core Keeper. Developed and self-published by Funday Games, the creative minds behind the recently announced Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, Don't Die in the West places players in the boots of a humble ranch hand who's inherited their recently departed uncle's ranch, and thrust into the dangerous prairies and caves surrounding the western city of Tumbleville with nothing but a hat and a dream.

Key features of Don't Die in the West include the ability to build and customize your own ranch, craft tools and weapons for resource gathering, and venture into the wild unknown to expand your legacy. Players can also assemble their own gang of misfit friends to build a reputation in the wild west, with the option to play with up to three friends for a cooperative gaming experience.

What sets Don't Die in the West apart is its emphasis on player legacy. Every choice and action in the game will have consequences, allowing players to shape their own unique narrative. Will you be remembered as the feared outlaw or the heralded hero? A travelling journalist has settled down in Tumbleville to document history as it unfolds. If you make an impression, your legend will be told for years to come.

Don't Die in the West is set to launch its Early Access on November 7th at 15:00 CET / 06:00 PST. For those interested in experiencing this unique blend of farming sim and wild west adventure, you can check out the game on Steam
