If “Dust: An Elysian Tail” taught us anything it's that game makers come from all walks of life. Dean Dodrill who was a humble artist struck out to make a game of his own and it turned out to be really awesome. PD Design Studio a small company based in Singapore that for the most part has done flash animation over the years has decided to throw it's hat into the indie game ring. Their debut game “Dusty Revenge” is a 2D platforming beat'em up with some obvious influences from recent action games such as “Devil May Cry” or “God of War”. Is Dusty Revenge sweet or is it just a dish served cold?
When comparing Dusty Revenge with the competition, it clearly takes advantage games like Shank or Dragon's Crown are clearly superior in almost all respects. However the first impact with Dusty Revenge is interesting, thanks mainly to good graphics. Do not be intimidated by anthropomorphic characters because the game is not so childish. The story is not fantastic, but it goes very dark and macabre despite anthropomorphic characters sites. The atmosphere is a mixture old westerns and steampunk.
Games in Asia: "We’ve got a nice mix of FPS games, mobile games, a rhythm game and a beat-em-up this week. Can you guess what they are?"
Dusty Revenge is great. It’s slick, stylish and chock full of content.
