Loved it from start to finish. Gameplay was fun, the characters were fine (loved the voices), the story had a nice twist and the art style was great. The only problem I had is how short the game seems if you don't grind or do anything on the side.
Love the game, it was pretty much a 10/10 for me the whole way through, it had a bit of challenge to it, but nothing to great that it seemed broken, the story and animations were great and it was voice acted incredibly well.
I don't understand this at all really, just because the characters were anthropomorphic? It was just an art style choice, one that is done rather commonly I might add. It isn't like the character were sexualized at all so what was the problem with them being creatures?Treeinthewoods said:

I got it for free on xbox live at some point. It was good, I liked the art style, the combat flowed well and allowing hack down either single massive enemies or whole groups of smaller ones with single comobos made me feel like a right badarse. shame the story was utter dogshit and all the characters were a bit one dimensional. but on the whole it's a good play.
I played, finished and enjoyed it like a year ago.
I really wasn't expecting to be it that good.

I was kinda dissapointed by it. The art was amazing, as was the music, and the voice acting and character interaction were far above what I expected. But in spite of all that the gameplay was crippled by being exceedingly simple, easy and short, and the story by a last act that dumps wayyy to much plot twist on you at the last second and a cop-out sequel enabling ending.
Hey guys, you remember the time when anthropomorphic animals were considered cute and didn't get morons on the internet riled up and screaming "Furry bullshit!". Yeah, those were the days...
The game is solid. It's not a massively deep experience, but it's fun and well made. If you consider that it was made by one guy, that's kinda impressive. Solid recommendation if you want a nice fun indie platformer.

Its one of my top 10 indie titles. I love the art, characters, gameplay and story. It would have been pretty much perfect had the levels not been a little awkward to navigate.
I'm not turned off by the furry art style I dont think the game would have worked if they weren't anthropomorphic.
The title music makes me feel well hard. I love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXqcSnXYQFY

I remember when I could watch TMNT in peace, without every conversation about it derailing into something about furries, but those days are gone. It's too bad those people won't be able to watch the new Michael Bay movie... with it just pandering to furries and all.Jandau said:
OT: I forget who but some podcast (maybe extra credits) mentioned that it was a great game and I picked it up over a year ago. It isn't the genre I normally like but found it pretty fun. The protagonist's voice acting was a bit grating to me, but I think the rest of the cast did a great job. It looked wonderful and played smoothly. I had some problems with a bug that cut off half the screen in all the videos, which wasn't great.
Either way, considering I don't normally enjoy that type of game, I had a good time and would recommend it to others.
It's ridiculous. There are any number of more legitimate reasons to not watch a Michael Bay movie.Majinash said:
On topic, this thread reminded me that I actually got this game on a GOG sale a while back so I'm giving it a go now. Visuals are very nice and the controls feel really good. I did watch TotalBiscuit and Northernlion's first impressions videos back when it came out so I've already witnessed some of the hammy voice acting and cringe-worthy melodrama that I'm in store for. Not sure if I'm dreading it or looking forward to it.
I haven't played it - and to be honest I don't think it's my kind of game, at least thematically (a samurai/ninja rabbit who constantly does that "dark and brooding" thing where he faces away from people to talk to them? I'll pass) - but my girlfriend played it to completion and enjoyed it. It seems a bit "grindy" but the visuals are really nice and it looked like it found a compromise between being accessible and technical.
It's easily one of my fave side scrollers ever! I loved pretty much everything about it! I meanb, the Sorrowing Meadow got a little tiresome, but I still had fun
Loved it! The art style and the animations where great, made even more impressive that it was all done by one person. Also it kind of reminds of the American Tails cartoons. The combat was a little on the easy side and a little exploration will have you out level everything in no time, but it was still fun to fly across the level spin attacking everything.
I think it's really funny how defensive people are getting about people calling the furry game a furry game. Because it's only fine to like the game where every character is an anthro if you're not, like, gay about it man.
I definitely liked Dust, despite it being easy. I really didn't like the main character's design though, nothing says badass mystery assassin like pastel blue.

I beat it twice, 100%ed it both times, beat it on the hardest difficulty, and LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! In my eyes this game is one of the few sidescroller games that gets as close as humanly possible to being perfect. Awesome characters, fantastic story, amazing art style, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, and a combat system that is a blast to play. The only sidescrollers I've seen in my time that either equal or surpass this one would have to be Super Metroid, or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
(yes this game has its issues, but w/e I enjoyed it FAR more than most other sidescrollers I've played over the last several years)
What amazes me the most though was the fact that (aside from music and voice acting) the game was made entirely by ONE GUY! And I got over 11 hours of play time during my first run. Its mind boggling, and the creator deserves EVERY bit if success that comes his way.

Eh, its not that people are mad about it being called "furry" its that people calling it furry are using it in the most negative connotation possible. I mean its a game that has anthropomorphised rabbits, foxes, lizards etc. so yea it IS a furry game.Benpasko said:
Just speaking AS a furry, can everyone PLEASE stop throwing around the idea that all furries do is sexualize everything? Its just a flat out lie that spawns in ignorance of a very large and diverse community. YES sexualized stuff exists in the fandom, but literally EVERY fandom/fan community (and I do mean EVERY fandom) has just as much, if not more sexualized/adult content. Furries are just people who like the idea of walking, talking animals.
I quite liked it, but I never got around to finishing it. Should see about doing that really, it was a good game.
Huh, interesting. What about Crash Bandicoot, Sly Cooper, Croc, and other similar games? Heck, what about disney? Antromorphic animals have been a thing for ages. O.OTreeinthewoods said:
I loved it.
I liked a lot of the humor in the game.
It's the kind of humor that if handled any worse would be groaners but they all worked for me.
I loved the level design more than anything. and playing on the highest difficulty was challenging without being cheep or frustrating.
Overall it's just a really solidly designed game that was written competently.
I payed full price for it back when it came out and felt like I got way more than my money's worth.
and I haven't felt that way in years!
