An enchanting, dangerous journey.

Dust: An Elysian Tail, a beautifully animated side-scrolling platformer with dynamic fights and RPG elements, is available 50% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.49 for the first week!

As the mysterious warrior, Dust, your action-packed journey will take you from peaceful glades to snowy mountaintops and beyond. At your disposal is the mythical sword, capable of turning its wielder into an unstoppable force of nature, and the blade's diminutive guardian, always ready to give you advice--wanted or not. Battle dozens of enemies at once with an easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master combat system, take on a variety of quests from friendly villagers, discover ancient secrets and powerful upgrades hidden throughout the massive, open world, and uncover the story of an ancient civilization on the brink of extinction as you fight to uncover your own past.

Run, jump, hack, and slash in Dust: An Elysian Tail, a dynamic action-platformer with RPG elements, beautiful landscapes, tons of original enemies, full XInput controller support, great animation, and a cast of sympathetic characters. As Dust, the furry protagonist of the story, you will wield the talking sword known as the Blade of Ahrah and take on many strange creatures of darkness that have been menacing your world. With the help of magic-wielding Fidget, the sprite guardian of the sword, and an occasional piece of advice from the snarky blade itself, you will follow your destiny and make your way through a vast, fantastic, colorful world that won't soon forget, even after Dust's story is over.

With traditional animation techniques and full 1080p resolution, this might be one of the most enchanting games ever to grace your screen. Let the adventure begin, get Dust: An Elysian Tail, for only $7.49 on GOG.com. The 50% off release discount offer lasts until Thursday, November 14, at 10:59AM GMT.
I'm very tempted to pick this up. Sadly so many games lately are leading me to temptation, I only have one job to pay for it all :)
It's not available in Korean? Odd, as there's Hangeul on the main title card...
I already have on Steam, finished it and I can say it's a really great game! I bought it in a bundle so I didn't know much about it before playing it, but it has been one of the best impulse buy i ever did in my gaming life! Art is great (altough cutscenes are a little weaker) controls are top-notch, scenario is interesting and characters are funny (well, not always, due to the story...)
Fucking AWESOME!

I've been holding out for a DRM-free version of this. Instabought!
This is a really great game, reccomend it to everyone
How is it on specs? No rush to answer as I can't afford it right now so anytime before Christmas would be fine. :D

JudasIscariot: It's a metroidvania :D
Tell those in command to keep the metroidvania action-RPGs coming !
Nice! I really didn't think this would come on GOG, so I've already bought on Steam.
Well, at least I am still waiting for The Next Big Thing, Vampire:Bloodlines, Trine 2, Gunpoint, Superbrothers, etc. etc. etc. to appear on GOG!

Dust is a very nice game, with complex beat'em all controls. Also, the art and animation are as good as they say. It is very much anime-inspired, usually this style puts me off but not in the case of this game.

I've read in an interview that the author, being of Korean descent, was inspired by Korean art and mythology, which can be seen in the design of the enemies and the weapons.
Dust also has the german subtitles, which is not mentioned here.
Dammit!!! I waited and waited for this to come to GOG an and finally bought it when it last went on sale on Steam a month ago. And now it turns up on GOG. Life's not fair.

SCPM: I really hope something like this is also the case for other Microsoft published titles like State of Decay.
Yeah, I was tempted to go to the dark side and get State of Decay when it goes on offer (especially as I don't have a 360), but now that I've seen this.

Just tweeted Undead Labs in the hope of a response. If I don't get one, then you know that Microsoft has it locked down.

Nice! Good thing I ignored the Steam sale a fortnight ago or so. :)
Gorgeous, looks on par with with the beautiful Odin Sphere game. I do believe I have to have this. Thanks for the smashing debut discount GOG!
I was just about to say "Fuck, another platformer". But this actually looks good. Wishlisted.
Yes! Another game liberated.
