Dustbowl

Great game had a lot of fun!

atmosphere is ok but overall the graphics burn my eyes out. Why is this game no longer available for purchase? strange

I've only played this a few times but I've lost hours to it every time. It's kind of like a dusty final fantasy with a heavy heap of old school VGA point-and-clickers. CRT monitor recommended

I started making games professionally after playing this. Take from that what you will.

Few games, VERY, few game leave me this stunned and speechless. I quite honestly don't know what else there is to say, this game goes down amongst the likes of Darwinia and Brigador for games that I dearly love and cherish. As for the game itself It has a verry Wasteland 1 esque to it, If you played Wasteland 1 or even 2 you'd know and you'd probobly also know how that sets it apart from the Fallout's more silly 50s feel. This game is grim, it's as grim as they come, even the ending is grim. This isn't a post apocalyptic game where you save the day and establish yourself as the sole gaurdian of civilization *cough*fallout4*cough* no, this is a game where every second, every discesion, every action goes twoards making things last just a little bit longer in an increasingly futile situation. This game isn't about a new happy civilization burgioning out of the ruins. It is a grim scrape and claw for survival in a world where every action buys humanity mere seconds on the ever looming doomsday clock.

Looks can be deceiving. Dustbowl is more intricate than it looks. The freedom to explore and scavenge at your own pace makes it akin to classic Fallout games, despite the movement and combat being different. The length of the game was pretty spot on for me. I stayed invested to the end of the main plot and (I believe) I completed all the side quests as well.

It is a fun game once you get used to it and pretty big but they changed the map and now the devlopers website leads to a very boring website about hentai so it takes a bit to find anything now.

Have to say as a game iv had in my library for some time and never got round to playing, I regret it. Although the game itself is short overall the attention to detail is amazing. Although the setting plays on the trope of a post apocalypse it does so inventively breathing life into the story being told. All in all I loved playing this game, and hope to see a return from this astonishing indi dev team to the dustbowel franchise!
