El Paso Elsewhere serves up an incredibly balanced gameplay experience with an addictive loop on top of a compelling story. This is one not to be missed!

El Paso, Elsewhere takes a solid shooter foundation and elevates it with a compelling and raw look at humanity as told through a story of monsters and mythology. Outstanding performances, sharp writing, and some kick-arse combat collide to make a unique and memorable experience.

A bizzare yet enjoyable vampire-shooting game with slick slow-motion mechanics for the action game fans.

“El Paso, Elsewhere is an intense, personal indie shooter that you'll want to see through to the end.”

With the sum of its parts laid bare, El Paso’s biggest weakness starts to be exposed the longer it goes on. The initial charm and intrigue of the first half of the game begin to wear thin in the later parts of the game. The first five minutes of gameplay are pretty much the same as the last few hours of gameplay. With little variation both in terms of gameplay and level layout, it all becomes repe...
