Beautiful but combat use more variety

The voice acting, art, and the area design is really amazing! The variety in combat is a bit lacking as the game goes on, unfortunately.there are too many enemies that follow the same "humanoid enemy with a melee weapon which you either dodge or parry". The exploration is good, but the enemies feel like they distract rather than add to the level. I still play the game for the story adn art alone though.

So good that I bought it twice!

First on Steam and now on GOG! This game is absolutely fantastic. At grass roots, it's a easy to play but hard to master side-scrolling RPG that visits many beautifully drawn areas throughout the world, and has you encounter a variety of well designed enemies throughout your journeys. I'm not sure why I love this game so much... It just has some kind of charm, I think. A charm that made me play the game from beginning to end with only one break, and it lasted me a good 23 hours! To be honest I didn't find or unlock all the secrets within the game though, so there's probably more gameplay to be found. You simply need to play this game. The combat flows beautifully and gives a wonderful sense of challenge; When you die, you know the only thing you can blame is yourself, because the controls are so very crisp that it all comes down to you and your ability to master them.

An interesting experience

I truly love the idea of Xbox Live Arcade: to support independent developers to release their games and to show them to the public. A lot of great games were "born" there, and Dust is one of them. It has beautiful graphics and nice voice acting. The gameplay is not so various. 90% of my in-game time I just flew and spread the lightnings everywhere. All the rest I spend on crafting new cool stuff for Dust (armors, rings, etc.). Yeah, the rpg / platforming / fighting elements in this game are weak, but it has its style, and it's interesting, how the story ends. Only this thought made me make my way to the end.
