Dust: An Elysian Tail

Todo increíble, la musica, los personajes, la historia, super inmersibo 10 de 10

Metroidvania light with beat 'em up elements. Played with an x-box controller. What you need to know: -There is a world map, leading to discrete metroid style areas. Bite sized, easier to traverse, you'll be going back often as you unlock new abilities. -Otherwise, very linear. -Beat 'em up style. Hey, another group of 4-7 enemies in a row! Fairly mild with only a few combos all given to you at the start. -You can grind for xp, gold, and drops. There are rings that give bonuses for those. Shops stock new materials after you sell them, so sell away then save your gold and buy what you need when you need it. -Food heals you instantly and is nearly unlimited. Worst case scenario you can just stock up on healing items and tank till you win. -It's a decent story for an amnesiac protagonist plot. Character driven. -It's a cast of furries but it doesn't get weird. Good art and animation. -Read the notes, they are important. Some notes for a 12 year old game: What is wrong with the sound mixing? Some voices are very soft. Then, when it goes to a cut-scene, the audio is twice as loud! The long bridge treassure is very weird to get. FYI, you have to fly by jumping and using the dust storm near the right side of the bridge. Gather up lots of flying enemies.

Though I generally dislike games in the Metroidvania genre, I found the combat in this game quite enjoyable, if not too complex. It is fun to juggle enemies! :) The game's presentation isn't my cup of tea, but it's far from terrible, and the story... well, it didn't capture me, anyway. 5/10?

Ser un furro acompañado de una furra voladora que rompe la pared y una espada parlanchina nunca fue tan gratificante como aquí.

Metroidvania elements aside, which are a little odd compared to Hollow Knight and every game after it, the crowning jewel is the hack n slash combat. I cannot express how fun it is. I regret not discovering this game earlier.

this is one of my favourite games of all time. it has a beautiful soundtrack, hand-drawn visuals, and full and well-directed voice acting. the story isnt really groundbreaking but i think its well executed and i love seeing peoples reactions to it. every time i watch a new playthrough i fall in love with it all over again. if you can stand anime-leaning artstyles and metroidvania gameplay, please give this game a shot. the love that went into its creation is so clear.

stampylongnose was never a cat and i've been upset about this for over a decade and nobody ever believes me and i want to kms over it so fkng bad
