West of Dead belongs in the roguelike conversation because its cover snapping, light mechanics, twin-stick aiming, weapon drops, and grim comic-book style make spacing the core drama. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.

Why it matters
West of Dead matters because it bends roguelite shooting around cover discipline rather than pure dodging.
