Dust: An Elysian Tail is a beautifully crafted game with all the polish that we have come to expect from a AAA title. The game is a fast and fantastical story driven action platformer with a side helping of role-playing game mechanics thrown over the top. Originally released in 2012 on Microsoft’s XBLA platform by developer Humble Hearts it received mostly positive feedback and has since been ported to a number of formats over the years. In an ever-increasing trend we now see it coming to the newest home of all things indie, the Nintendo Switch so it seems like the perfect reason to revisit this great title.
