Weird West (or Weird Western) is a genre of fiction that uses the Wild West period of American History as a foundation and then adds fantasy/supernatural elements to it. So stories where gunslingers encounter zombies, vampires, demons, robots, or any other creatures that wouldn't otherwise be present in a standard Western.

From my perspective, the original setting the...well, there weren't classes. You could take a background that would be a 'class' but you bought skills so if you wanted to have Blessed powers and use a gun real well you could. But that was a tangent.
Ask the 'classes' felt unique. Mad science was not hexslinging was not blessed was not martial arts. It's a major reason I could just not get into the Savage Worlds version at all.
