very anticipated game.
The Story:
This game starts you off playing as
Jericho Cross. You are an outcast, an outlaw, and a loner.
Everything for you changed the night you robbed the wrong
train. You figured you’d try to hit the mother lode before skipping down to Mexico, but instead you unleashed Hell on
earth; Releasing an ancient Vampire Lord into the West, which was now damned under his curse.
Before he escaped into
the night, he managed to leave his mark on you, two puncture wounds on your neck, transforming you into a half vampire/half
human hybrid, capable of things unknown to mortal men. Working with a secret society called the Darkwatch, you become their
newest agent. And they're even stranger than the undead monsters they battle. You’re all that stands between the doom
of men, and that of your own soul.
Summary:
Darkwatch is a western themed 1st person shooter,
uniquely mixing in Vampiric and Demonic based horror.
They mash their enemies up for fuel, forge their hides into protective
cloaks and create weapons intended to eradicate their enemies....and they're the good guys!
They are the Darkwatch,
a mysterious secret agency that has protected humanity from evil since the dawn of civilization. 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.
Jericho's only chance of regaining his stolen humanity is to pursue the Vampire Lord through an American frontier overrun
by evil minions.
Along the way Jericho relies on his deadly gun-fighting skills and advanced weapons and vehicles created
by the Darkwatch, owing as much to sorcery as to technology. As a half-vampire/half-human hybrid, his superhuman abilities
allow him to move, see and take damage as no living man could. 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 baddies with flailing hooves.
To fight a monster, one must become a monster. Jericho Cross had no
choice…but only he can save the West and his own soul from eternal damnation.

manner of hideous abomination.

A secret passage for Darkwatch Agents beneath
a forbidding mountain range, and an underground camp for wildcat miners, the Devil's Belly Mine lives up to its name when
the Vampire Lord's poison seeps into its roots, releasing long-dead specters from their centuries-long confinement beneath
the earth.
The Vehicles
Prototype Darkwatch steam wagon powered by
the latest infernal combustion engine. Nearly as fast as a locomotive, and equipped with twin Gatling turrets. Darkwatch Coyotes
are used as heavy fire support for Regulator platoons expecting stern resistance. There are never enough of them to go around,
and the loss of even one precious Coyote would be a heavy blow to the Darkwatch.
