Dust An Elysian Tail

SCORE: 77

Every so often a video game comes along that reminds me of the old Disney 16-bit videos. This time that game is Dust An Elysian Tail. The animation and attention to detail in Dust An Elysian Tail are absolutely amazing. This is a video game that transcends being a video game. It gives us interesting characters, humor, and an engaging storyline. Much of the story of Dust An Elysian Tail is predictable.

The issues families will have with Dust An Elysian Tail are violence, blood, bad language, and more. We hack and slash our way through a lot of enemies in three different difficulty settings in this downloadable only title. This is one of those video games that deserves to be in the physical copy format. I felt Dust An Elysian Tail is like Aladdin on the Sega Genesis. Dust An Elysian Tail does look, sound, and play better though.

The voice acting in Dust An Elysian Tail is good. I liked hearing the voices and the emotions based on the situation. Dust An Elysian Tail does so many things right that I am amazed this game is not being sold at retail. Family Friendly Gaming was given a code for Dust An Elysian Tail on the Nintendo Switch. The religious elements in Dust An Elysian Tail are a bit odd. More on that in just a bit.

Dust An Elysian Tail starts out with the main character not knowing who he is. Yes I know that has been overused in the video game industry. That dead horse has been kicked so much there are only dry bones left. The industry is now kicking those dry bones hoping new life will be breathed into them. SPOILER ALERT! Dust actually has two souls in him. One of them was a murderer of the Moonbloods. The other tried to stop the murderer.

As we progress through Dust An Elysian Tail we get new skills, powers, and level up. There are plenty of items to purchase, and sell in Dust An Elysian Tail. There are a lot of different characters in Dust An Elysian Tail to deal with. I love all of the hidden treasures and side quests in Dust An Elysian Tail. The easiest difficulty setting makes Dust An Elysian Tail a game casual gamers can play. Hardcore gamers can find all the secrets and play on a harder difficulty setting.
