Dust: An Elysian Tail Original Release: 2012 Developer: Humble Hearts Platform: XB360 Dust is a Metroidvania-type, though that term is applied loosely because the game is level-based and doesn't take place in just one giant castle or planet or whatever. It reminded me of SNES platformer games I used to play more than it did of Castlevania or Metroid, and that is a good thing. The combat is VERY smooth and even the platforming sections are done well. The game also manages to tell a dramatic, compelling story involving furries. Seriously, the plot is actually pretty good, and a lot of light is shined on the villain, who is a foil to the main character. HyperDuck studios, who composed the music for Cosmic Star Heroine, did the music here as well, and as always it is fantastic. Graphics are beautiful. This isn't a cheap looking game at all, it feels like I'm playing a Don Bluth movie (ie Titan AE). The voice acting isn't terrible, either. Oh, and special mention goes to the final boss, as that fight was a total fight. YouTube it. The game is too short, and sometimes gets repetitive. By the end I was often ignoring enemies and beelining it for the end of the map. There's a lack of boss battles as well, I think there were only three total. But it's pretty cheap now, so I suggest go grab it. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
