A mythical apocalyptic western setting where each bullet is precious and survival is far from guaranteed: Guns of Eschaton. Developed by Eschatology Entertainment and published by 4Divinity, Guns of Eschaton is aiming (see what I did there?) to be a novel first-person shooting experience that blends with Souls-like mechanics. Set in 19th-century America, the world centers on historical figures and myths from the Old West.
Far from a fast-paced shooting experience, the Steam page description indicates that you will need to learn the strengths of each gun and the weaknesses of every monster. Using a codex from the Cherokee people, the gunslinger will learn the weak points and lore of each creature. Because in Guns of Eschaton, lore is your weapon.
Guns of Eschaton Key Features
- Every bullet counts: Face off in deliberate, high-stakes gunfights where preparation matters as much as aim. Study enemies through the Codex to uncover weaknesses, execute calculated parries, and wield mystic abilities granted to you by the occult.
- Build your legendary gunslinger: Customize your playstyle with deep character progression and flexible buildcrafting. Experiment with a vast arsenal of firearms, ammunition types, occult powers, talismans, armor, and consumables. Combine active and passive abilities, find powerful synergies, and learn deadly tricks from legendary gunslingers.
- Explore an occult apocalyptic west: Roam the Apocalyptic West like never before. Created by the legendary Viktor Antonov, the world blends 19th-century frontier Americana with occult horror.
- Ride alone or together: Experience this unforgiving world alone or alongside allies, with full solo and co-op progression allowing players to tackle every challenge however they wish.
“We are incredibly honoured to be revealing Guns of Eschaton, the final project shaped by the extraordinary vision of Viktor Antonov… From the earliest stages of development, I had the privilege of shaping this world together with Viktor: where ideas, themes, and concepts evolved through his talent into the world players will see today. Viktor’s imagination and creative legacy have been a constant source of inspiration throughout development, and this game is the result of an incredible collaborative effort from our entire team to bring that vision to life. We are proud to share it with players around the world in partnership with our publisher, 4Divinity.”
