I love how when he whipped the weapon out of the enemy's hand, the enemy looked at its hand and then back at you astonished. And the platforming looks really nice as well, hopefully it has a lot of depth to it. Kinda like a semi-Mirror's Edge platforming system and level design. Definitely on my radar.
The lighting design looks really nice.
I've got a Diablo2 Act 2 vibe from the city's atmosphere.
For Medieval Europe I can only remember Chivalry and Kingdom Come right now. As for Western, only the Call of Juarez games come to mind at the moment. Though for those other settings, I could name 10 of each category at the top of my head. And I believe you and anyone else could too.

As for Dishonored, you have a pistol and some powers with which you can "shoot" enemies, which you could technically call a FPS. However, I would call Dishonored a "First-Person Action" game. While City of Brass could fit into that category, it might be better categorized as a "First-Person Melee" game, like Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Like many people in the gaming press have said over the years, genres in games are so blurred nowadays because so many games are a mix of many genres that you can categorize them by some ten or so categories and they all would still fit.
For example, is Mass Effect: Andromeda a Third-Person Shooter, Action, RPG, Adventure, Space Simulator, Dating Simulator, Racing, Puzzle, Resource Management, Drama or Comedy game?
It's all of those genres and maybe more, since I'm sure I'm forgetting some other genres it also dabbles into. Makes me remember all the discussions about games' genres in podcasts, articles and forums, it's very abstract in many cases.
Wikipedia - Video game genre:
"A video game genre is a classification assigned to a video game based on its gameplay interaction rather than visual or narrative differences. A video game genre is defined by a set of gameplay challenges and are classified independently of their setting or game-world content, unlike other works of fiction such as films or books. For example, a shooter game is still a shooter game, regardless of where it takes place.
As with nearly all varieties of genre classification, the matter of any individual video game's specific genre is open to personal interpretation. Moreover, each individual game may belong to several genres at once."

either way this looks pretty low budget and i can't say the trailer did much to convince me it's anything other than a low budget title.
