The gameplay system of Darkwatch is reminiscent of other first person shooters.ĭarkwatch was met with a generally positive critical reception, acclaimed in particular for its relatively unique Weird West setting and artistic merits. The game mixes western, horror and steampunk genres, telling the story of Jericho Cross, an outlaw gunfighter in the late 19th-century American Frontier who has been turned into a vampire and then forcibly recruited by the titular monster-hunting secret organization to fight against supernatural forces. It was developed by High Moon Studios (formerly Sammy Studios) and published by Capcom in the United States and by Ubisoft in Europe and Australia. Darkwatch: Curse of the West, also known as just Darkwatch, is a 2005 first-person shooter game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
