We first talked aboutDust: An Elysian Taila few months ago, where we called it “Odin Spherefor Furries.” However,pleasedo not let this game’s furry leanings put you off, becauseDustis so gorgeous, I’m having trouble believing it will appear on the Xbox 360’s Indie Games Channel instead of Xbox Live Arcade, especially with thisnew trailer.
It’s a sidescrolling brawler at heart, with a storyline based on ananimated feature filmcurrently being created by Dean Dodrill. Despite its status as an XNA-developed game,Dusthas amazing hand-drawn graphics and fluid animation. The gameplay also looks like some solid, traditional beat ’em up action as well, which just so happens to be among my favorite types of gameplay.
We’ll continue to keep an eye onDust, as it could truly become the breakout Indie Game on the 360 platform, and truly show others just what XNA is capable of. It’ll be a damn sight better thanKitchen Sink Wars, of that I can be certain.
