Yes. It is true. You cannot die in this game. That seems to be the biggest complaint people have about this game. But ask yourself, does is really make a difference? So there is no extra loading screen, so you don't have to go back to the last checkpoint, so what? Everything else in this game is amazing. The game play is fun and addicting. The story is interesting and the characters are fun. The graphics and art style are gorgeous. No loading screen, no arbitrary checkpoints? No problem.
Dust: An Elysian Tail is a true gem of a game. Think of it as a mash-up of a Metroid, Castlevania, and Castle Crashers. While the story does have talking animals, it is surprisingly deep. full of twists and turns that will keep you hooked. The world is vast and the art style is absolutely gorgeous. This game will grab and and won't let go. It's that good.
This game is a joke. I mean literally a joke. Not in the "it's so bad it's a joke" way, but an actual joke by the creators. Which is fine. Except for the fact that they charge money for it. A joke is good for a laugh yes. But why pay for this joke? It's one big joke that costs money. Save your money and go to a comedy club instead.
Put Simply, this game is amazing. It has all of the powerful story telling, decision making, characters, and rpg elements Bioware is famous for. However, it feels much too short. At what I thought was about the half way point through the game, the game ended. Great game. Worth the money. Just be prepared to feel like it ended way too soon.
