Also, since everything is organic looking, there is no hard edge to the platforms to help you know when you’re on a platform or about to fall off of it.Ĭombat in Dust is a simple, but fun romp in the world of hack n’ slash. The environment is so beautiful rendered that everything looks like it belongs together, it can be hard to tell what you can jump on and what you can’t. This could however be due to the art in the game. There were many occasions when I would hit the jump button, only to watch myself walk off an edge instead of leaping over it. It’s almost as if the game is working so hard to make things pretty, that is forgot to make them exceptionally responsive. This can be annoying as many platforms are small, and I found myself re-jumping sections repeatedly because of it. Dust slides like he’s on a slightly icy platform whenever he lands anywhere.
This works pretty well throughout the game, but everything feels somehow loose. Dust is an action-rpg with some serious platforming elements as well. Now that I’ve had a chance to fawn over the visuals, let’s talk about gameplay. I don’t know if there has been a 2D game that is quite as beautiful, as Dust is. The open field with deer is bathed in columns of sunlight, the dark woods seem to suck in light as insects and eyes glow around you. The style helps accentuate the scenery in an amazing way. The backgrounds and scenery seem almost hand painted, and are a treat to explore. Those awesomely designed characters are then placed into an equally gorgeous world. Even when just walking around, it’s not only the legs that move: the hair flows, the fingers grip, the cape blows. Animations of the character models are beautifully smooth. From the model animations to the backgrounds, this game is eye candy. The visuals of this game are just absolutely incredible, bar none. It’s done in a 2D style reminiscent of a Disney movie sprinkled with anime inspiration. The first thing that strikes you when playing playing Dust is the incredible visuals. Oh, and Fidget comes along because every game needs one obnoxious sidekick. The sword, named Arah, and Dust team up to determine why he has no memory and why he summoned the magic blade. In tow, the sword has an orange nimbat in tow names Fidget who acts as the swords guardian. When Dust waked up in a forest with no memory of his past, he is startled to find a floating and talking sword is claiming to have been called by him. I’m honestly not entirely sure what animal he is supposed to be.
The game follows the adventures of an amnesia stricken.uh blue animal.
