G4: "Dust: An Elysian Tail is inconsistent, though the good tends to outweigh the bad. Missteps aside, the game is genuinely fun, and at the very least worth a try via demo. If nothing else, Dust offers an intriguing promise of things to come: if Mr. Dodrill could craft a game like this on his own, what could he accomplish with more?" 3.5/5

I don't say this very often, but I kinda think there's TOO MUCH fighting in Dust. The mechanics are actually pretty good, but the way they have the hordes of enemies set up means that you are basically forced to fight wave after wave of monsters in every single area you enter and reenter, even if all you're trying to do is explore. It got really tiring for me really quickly.
