Unending Dusk

Simply put, it feels like Shadowrun if it was a beat-em-up. It has the same cyberpunk aesthetic, the same RPG-ish elements where you can customize your character with cybernetic enhancements, and a story about mega corporations destroying the world. This is 1000% my kind of game. The graphics look like a higher end SNES game, and the music is awesome and keeps you pumped as you blast your way through hordes of androids and cultists. There are six different characters to choose from and almost endless ways to customize them, so there is a ton of replayability. Yeah, some people may not care for the grind of leveling up your characters, but there's no reason that you HAVE to do that. I have my two favorite classes and I'm focusing on leveling them up. I don't care much for the "tank" characters so they'll probably end up the last to be maxed out. Plus the devs have a double XP event going on now, so it's the perfect time to give it a shot and get your characters a great head start.

I understand why maybe the complete lack of velocity in the jump landing would turn some people off, but once I realized that this was more of a walk-n-block sort of brawler, I really fell in love with it. Then again, I'm an easy sell: there's a bunch of buff robots and demons trying to beat the hell of the each other in a post apocalypse mega city and that's pretty much always going to be something i recommend. The fact that it's in a universe of a beat em up with learnable enemy patterns is just a happy coincidence for me, and maybe for you, too.

The most apt description I can think of is that Unending Dusk is the Diablo 1 of beat em ups. Let that sink in. If you are the right kind of person, you will adore this game.

epic. my kind of story. my kind of style. my kind of game.

If you enjoy old-school style, side-scrolling beat-em-ups, give it a shot. This is pretty much Golden Axe in a cyberpunk setting with a limited progression system. For the price, you can't really go wrong going on with that mindset. Perfect for people that enjoy Golden Axe, or Streets of Rage, but don't have Streets of Rage funds available. It certainly has its charms to counterbalance its at times frustrating gameplay.

An interesting concept for a scrolling beat 'em up -- basically adds an RPG style grind to retro styled scrolling beat 'em up action.

Premetto che se su Steam esistesse un voto neutro,e' il voto che darei a questo gioco,graficamente e' ben realizzato,in pixel art,con la possibilita' di giocare in 4 giocatori ,anche i nemici non sono ripetitivi a differenza di altri giochi,ma la giocabilita'.....nella modalita' arcade e possibile rientrare all' infinito,ed e' quello che dovrete fare se volete finire il gioco,perche' alcuni avversari in perticolar modo i "Boss finali" sono quasi inaffrontabili. Comunque se siete appassionati del genere Beat' em up come lo sono io,e trovate il suddetto gioco in offerta (pochi euro),puo' valere la pena acquistarlo,giusto per giocare ad un gioco un po' diverso....

I like the game but I've reached my fill for a few reasons. First, this is a slow and methodical brawler that is unique. You'll slow dance with enemies as you trade blows. You can attack a few times, they'll attack next, repeat. You'll make heavy use of the block button or you'll die. You can try to dodge everything but the character is so slow it's impossible to run from all the attacks. Enemies do not stagger either. This waltz slows down everything and the gameplay can feel sluggish as you clear out each screen of enemies. Attack a little, block a little all while keeping a good position. That isn't going to stop all the damage you take either, Unending Dusk is challenging. So I feel it's taking far too long to clear and I'm bored. Second, everything is over complicated. While I like the character upgrades and equips they're not so simple as checking if one is better than the other. This is exciting at first but the menu system doesn't make it easy to keep it up. So I lost interest in trying to keep everything upgraded. Also, the upgrades are expensive and might require grinding which goes back to the first point. This could be great for the right gamer who wants to dive deep into upgrades and inspect each one. Unending Dusk has plenty of content though. There are several different characters with their own playstyle. The characters each have their own level too so you could clear the game with each. I liked playing as the Iron Man looking one the most. Overall, Unending Dusk is fun but I grew weary. It has all the right pieces but overcomplicates them. I did enjoy the style and I wonder if a faster more action-packed game would have captured my heart more.
