Combate re piola, buen OST y puto gracioso. Wea buena

This was great! I wish the RPG mechanics were deeper but the watered down version of them work with the overall theme of the game. The writing was absolutely hilarious! Can't wait to see what the studio puts on next.

Alright this is the actual good game, folks.

This was fuckin great and funny as hell.

the graphics in this game arent very good tbh


I liked this game initially... though upon finding out that the people behind it are complete shitstains that have no problem assaulting Black teenagers I implore you to go play literally anything else

I love this stupid ass game, and this replay only cemented that love. This time, I also played the dlc, Reckonin' at the Gun manor, which I hadn't played before. It adds a 2-3 hours of very good content, with puzzles that actually made me think a couple of times. There is always the violence route where you can just go "fuck it" and not do a single puzzle though, which is appreciated for the replay value. The vanilla content is already excellent, however. I laughed quite a bit even though I was replaying the same stuff. The music in this game is also excellent, with very appropriate western-esque songs that are just plain catchy. Very recommended game, I had an amazing time with it and I'm thinking of replaying it again.

amazing game that gives hours and hours of fun, with dialogue that's funny and charming and offers decent replay value. i will say that since the gameplay isn't all that complex and there's some grinding involved to get everything done, it can get repetitive after a while.

one of the funniest games I've ever played. If you like RPG and punny humor, play this. You won't regret it.

The sheer quantity of jokes and gags is sometimes overwhelming but it helps to make up for the fairly simple rpg comat system

if i made a game it would be like this

I just can't stop laughing. RPG elements are a little watered down but damn, what a hilarious game.

This game is fucking bizarre. If you can play it for free, do. If you can't, die as part of the peasantry who never got to experience this elite wizardry

FFO: Westerado if you're a south park loving toddler

Zack "Jick" Johnson is an abuser. It makes me sick to think the money I spent on KoL and this game helped enable the hierarchy that Jick created within his company and circle of friends, where from his position of power he took advantage of and abused young women. This is not some big studio game with hundreds of developers. The humor and viewpoint of Asym absolutely reflect the beliefs of the several primary creators, particularly Jick. No "separating the art from the artist," okay?

Played this game during a trip and it was better than I thought it would be. Combat is good and writing is good.

genuinely, extremely funny game

This would be a three-star if not for the controversy surrounding Asymmetric Publications. I enjoyed the game itself, but it lacks replayability. Funny but dated little western RPG. Both the main game and the DLC were well-priced.

funniest game I've played, also surprisingly in depth with some of its combat mechanics

For a name like that, there is a lot more fun and enjoyable antics here than expected.

Hilarious RPG. If you liked it, play their free browser game The Kingdom of Loathing.

It's a horrible game but I somehow enjoyed it a lot, I love RPGs and this one was shockingly good. I expected a bad flash game, I didn't expect to embark on an epic quest around the wild west hunting evil cows, spitting everywhere, earning meat and shooting aliens while doing a cartwheel the whole time. This game is really silly, but also really fun.


When I started playing, I thought "This game feels like a full version of a Flash game I would have played around 2004."

Turns out, this is the sequel to a browser-based game from 2003 that I had never heard of.

That early-internet feel and charm is present in every aspect of this game. The simple mechanics, abundance of snarky text, ridiculous characters, the stick figure art, the absurd in-game events, etc. Honestly, I didn't know if I'd like this game when I picked it up, but I ended up being a big fan. However, there are a few things you should be aware of:

1. The game isn't too difficult if you just figure out how the stats work and use temporary buffs like food or liquor to focus on specific buffs. Also, turn off the auto-leveling and make sure you're not wasting valuable XP on stats or abilities you don't care about.

2. Plan on playing the game for a little bit to figure some things out and then starting over. There are a LOT of permanent decisions in here that I wasn't aware of going in. A small mistake can completely remove your ability to encounter other events later in the game.

3. The ending just kind of... happens. When you get to the "end" town, there's a theater that's showing "The Final Cutscene", and you can view it as many times as you want, completing more things between viewings to change the ending. You just sort of play until you're done playing and then go watch the cutscene, but there's no big ending set piece or final boss or anything like that. So just be ready for an underwhelming end.

Despite those three caveats, I'd recommend West of Loathing if you enjoy funny text-driven games, because this game made me actually want to read EVERYTHING. Everything else that this game does is somewhere between Fine and Good, but you play this for how funny and unique the setting and text are.

Amazing, original and hilarious game.

tons of fun! wish the maker wasnt awful
