An epic adventure with a unique touch
Dust is one of those games that mix genre rarely mixed, creating something rather unique. Unlike most of these cases, the final outcome of it is very pleasing. I'm a big RPG fan and "hack & slash" titles rarely grab me for long... but Dust did - don't kid yourselves, it is an action game with just a tad of RPG elements, but you get swallowed in it quite fast. The gameplay is rather simple: you move around, much like in a platformer game and fight monsters using elaborated combos. These combos may even bring to mind "Devil May Cry", "Prince of Persia" or "Bloodrayne" with their specularity and all, but quite often it basically comes down to mushing buttons as any, more complex techniques are hard to properly implement in the midst of battle. For an action game, you are given a surprising freedom in roaming the world and even get side-quests that AREN'T necessary to complete the game. A nice touch, though again be warned: plotwise you don't get to influence the outcome of events, even though you sometimes get directly involved into dialogue. This is generally a movie that you're guided through, though you get to choose the order of the scenes to some extend. The RPG elements comes down to the likes of original Diablo: when you level up, you can improve your health, attack, defense or Fidget (you'll play, you'll know)... and that's where RPG basically ends. An interesting touch is that there IS equipment and you can upgraded it; the trick is that, for your blacksmith, to prepare an item, she must have both blueprints and materials for creating the thing (both are found on dead enemies). That kinda pushes you to explore the world, especially since there are a lot of "secrets" scattered around. Generally the game grabs you. It may not be the most sophisticated and deep experience out there, but its unique, fluid and beautiful. It's a good way to pass the time, just keep an eye on the watch: this game can eat your time up without you noticing ;)
