Be it the lush, roving forests and field, to the blacked-out caves you have to light with special bombs, the game never fails to disappoint, as it utilizes every colour possible. The style is so interesting, in fact, that at the moments where the camera zooms out in certain areas it all looks so colourful and intriguing that you’ll lose yourself in the world entirely. The art style alone gives this game a lot of flexibility, but the fact that the game is awash with varieties of different levels makes it a beautiful game to play. They have great back-and-forth moments that are genuinely funny or heartbreaking, depending on the scene, and it’s nice to see that the effort put into the script of an arcade game resulting in such high quality writing and character development that even triple A titles can’t ever seem to manage.ĭust looks incredible. It’s got some great moments, the characters work well together, the conversation scenes between characters have an element to them that we’ve rarely seen from games.like we can actually believe that these characters exist in their world. Dust must find the source of the darkness and put an end to it, but will the discovery of who he truly is be a detriment to his cause? Play the game to find out, I’m not even joking the story is that good. It turns monsters into hyper-aggressive monsters, and even infects some more powerful beings. The three set off on a grand and oftentimes dark adventure that traverses the entire land, to defeat the darkness that has spread into every crevice of the world. He is then joined by a Nimbat named Fidget, who is part of a clan that protects the Sword of Ahrah, who wishes to return the sword back to its original location. It tells him that it was drawn to him to help him in his quest.the only issue being that Dust doesn’t know what this quest is, as his memories have mysteriously vanished. See this? This is badass, not furry ease get over it, you're ruining it for yourself!ĭust begins with our character.Dust, awaking in the middle of a forest, and meeting the Ahrah, one of the five swords of Elysian that are called to great warrior heroes. Think Final Fantasy IX in concept, fun, but with a vastly different art style. So get the ‘furry’ perception out of your head now, this is a damn fine game, so fuck the notions you’re having, and read on, because it’s worth playing. It’s a game without the boring sameness of humans, but you end up just not noticing, because everything in this game’s style, the world and the characters, even the enemies, are all integrated so well that they just become so normal that it’s a welcome change. This is just using an art style that’s different, and different in this case is great.
Let’s get the obvious ‘issue’ out of the way: this is not a furry game, this isn’t like Sonic getting down with an underage human girl. However, this is not the case for ’s a damn fine game, probably my game of the year so far, it’s a real treat and a fine surprise. Sure, we get some great games like Bastion or The Walking Dead series, but the more obscure games often fall through the cracks as less-than-stellar titles tend to take up space above them.
As XBLA titles go, I’ve never been too pushed on them.
