I've had this game for years and still keep coming back to it.
It's definitely alot better than anyone else has been doing with the Dungeon Keeper like genre.
Like the title said. There's far far more depth than Rimworld has though.
I had never played the series before but I understand why it had such a dedicated fanbase. Liking Starwars also doesn't hurt.
I love this kind of old school point and click adventure. It just scratches an itch you've had for a long time.
Screams, people shredded in half by shotgun blasts and dangling by two halves connected by intestines. It's just a fun time.
First off just a few complaints. I wish there was slightly more control over your mob because in some parts of the game it is impossible for them to not end up going in holes, exploding, or being turned into crab people. While it doesn't effect the game in of itself, you do get extras from having more of your workers survive so it can be frustrating for people who want those extra anarcho syndicalist cogs. However it is fun. You run through the level freeing workers to join your mob and take on those in power. Also there's little fun gameplay options when you go through each level. Like killing the yellow flag waving boss frees those workers with chainsaws, which they don't keep. If you're workers are too close to toxic barrels they become tentacled horrors when they leak and so on. The bosses also have their fun strategies however keeping everyone alive but you can be a challenge. Still though they do seem pretty easy and don't really scale significantly in difficulty. Overall some bits of it can be frustrating keeping me from giving it five stars but it's still incredibly fun. Think of a brawler combined with lemmings.
One of the things about Dust is that it's a game that revolves around combos. Keep that in mind as you fight and you'll do great. There are of course platforming sections but the real star is the combat. There is also a kind of Zelda like progression system, where you'll learn new moves that allow you to get to new areas so you'll back track a bit to uncover everything you missed.
Lets get this clear, this is a game for kids. But overall I've found it enjoyable. Yono and the Celestial Elephants is a top down action rpg puzzle game where you guide an elephant through the world solving various puzzles and doing various quests. The art style is very cute and the controls are tight. While the puzzles are simple they are still satisfying.
