Jericho’s about halfway to becoming a full-blooded vampire, with many of the associated powers and weaknesses. As a sort of backhanded thank you, Lazarus bites Jericho and leaves him to die.Īt this point, you have a choice to make. Instead of gold, he finds the newly-resurrected ancient vampire Lazarus, whose release sets off a plague of undead across the entire frontier. He leaps onto a train headed across the Arizona territory and blows its safe. The Discovery Channel, this isn’t.ĭarkwatch begins when Jericho Cross, an outlaw wanted for train robbery (and a proud graduate of the Gordon Freeman School of Laconic Protagonists), embarks on one last job. Darkwatch departs from historical accuracy fairly early on – if you’re the sort of person for whom the fun is ruined when you stumble across a pair of automatic pistols in the Old West, then stay away – but really, you’re shooting zombie cowboys. Jericho Cross had no choice… but only he can save the West and his own soul from eternal damnation.There are many shooters on console these days, but not many of them reach this level of lunatic intensity, or give you quite so many toys to play with. To fight a monster, one must become a monster.

When he's in a tight spot, or needs an extra burst of speed, he can summon his demonic horse from the very ground he stands on, firing his weapons from horse-back or crushing the rotten skulls of undead opponents with flailing hooves. As a half-vampire, his superhuman abilities allow him to move, see and take damage as no living man could.

Along the way he relies on his deadly gun-fighting skills and advanced weapons and vehicles created by the Darkwatch, owing as much to sorcery as to technology. Jericho's only chance of regaining his stolen humanity is to pursue the vampire through an American frontier overrun by evil minions.

Their newest and most deadly agent is Jericho Cross, an outlaw gunslinger pulled into their ranks by an unfortunate close encounter with a vampire lord. They grind their enemies for fuel, fashion their skin into protective cloaks and create weapons designed to exterminate en masse, and they're the good guys! They are the Darkwatch, a mysterious secret society that has protected humanity from evil since the dawn of civilization. Darkwatch is a cinematic FPS blending the vampire-horror and Western genres…
