Dust & Neon is a twin-stick shooter and roguelite game developed by David Marquardt Studios and published by Rogue Games, Inc. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic Wild West overrun by villainy, where you play as a mysterious gunslinger on an epic quest filled with twitch-trigger precision gunplay, armies of menacing robots, and incredible boss fights. The game has an impressive roster of robot enemies with unique strengths and weaknesses, and you can claim the bounties on a sinister cast of villains in epic boss fights.
The game has best-in-class controls that allow for twitch speed and precision gunplay, and a dynamic power-up boost system will have you mowing down mechanical menaces with non-stop action. You can choose your arsenal from an unlockable selection of nearly 2,000 wholly unique revolvers, shotguns, and rifles. There are 1,600 unique tonics that allow you to temporarily change or enhance your gunslinger’s abilities on the battlefield, crack open hundreds of loot boxes filled with money, weapons, and upgrades. You can upgrade your gunslinger with 24 unique skills that fundamentally change the way the game plays.
Dust & Neon is a seriously robust and challenging twin-stick roguelite shooter with visceral reload mechanics—pop each bullet into the chamber during the heat of battle. The game has an action-packed 10-plus-hour campaign for those daring enough to accept the challenge! Completionists will find many more hours of adventure at their disposal. The game has a huge, varied world with four unique regions to explore.
However, Dust & Neon isn’t easy. It starts off all guns blazing with stylish visuals and slick shootin’, but misses the mark in almost every other area. With an erratic difficulty curve and repetitive missions, the core mechanics have a lot of heavy lifting to do. Despite these flaws, Dust & Neon is still a great game that’s worth checking out.
In conclusion, Dust & Neon is an excellent twin-stick shooter that offers fast-paced action and challenging gameplay. The game’s controls are top-notch, allowing for precise aiming and shooting. The dynamic power-up system adds another layer of strategy to the game, making it even more engaging. With nearly 2,000 unique weapons to choose from and 1,600 tonics to enhance your abilities, there’s no shortage of ways to play Dust & Neon. Despite its flaws, Dust & Neon is still a great game that’s worth checking out.
