You will probably spend most of your time mulling over your own notes, perhaps drawing a map (I know I did), and trying to figure out how to progress. The labyrinth inside the ruins is massive and confusing. This is a platformer, but you're not going to be speeding along and having anywhere near an easy time. Its 2D visuals are nice and detailed, the lore is complex, the depths of the ruins are huge, and the puzzles are so hard there's a substantial chance you're going to end up having to look them up. It's a remake of its original Japanese-only release in 2005 with new visuals and a few changes, and it's pretty much the only thing like it on the modern market. You don't want to play one of the most difficult games released in the past decade? I mean, you don't have to play it. ![]() That paired with the sheer mass of content and tight gameplay makes Dustforce DX a must-buy in my book.ĭemo: No, but you can download the original game in English Developer Hitbox Team has treated the game and community with respect. The DX update, released in 2014, added over 100 community-made levels, improved tutorials, and more music. If you want to compete, you certainly still can today. It's unknown whether that's a testament to how fun the game is or how its relaxing soundtrack can make anyone be willing to ram themselves into the game time and time again, but who cares. That is a real shame.ĭustforce looks like a relaxing platformer but the game dishes an undeniably brutal punch, especially if you're the type who goes for timing perfection - then the game boils down to super precision platforming.ĭespite not being the newest game out there, Dustforce DX still has a lively playerbase fighting over fastest times on the leaderboards. If you like the genre, definitely check out the demo.ĭustforce has been fawned over in certain parts of the internet since its release in 2012, but most who don't sit around in these gaming communities have either overlooked or ignored this game completely.
