    The fact that it costs half of my proposed cost-against-value, it's impossible for me not to recommend any fan of platformers or 2D games to wait any longer to play it.

    Elegant and gorgeous but surprisingly difficult. [March 2012, p.64]

    Dustforce is a challenging and sometimes frustrating platforming experience that constantly expects perfection.

  1. My Girlfriend bought me this game as a present after a fight...and boy did this make me feel bad, because this is one of the most awesome games I played in a while. I'll try to shoot down any doubts right now and say "BUY THIS" for the price tag of 6 euros, this is the platformer you will play for a long while, especially if you liked meat boy. So I've been tracking this game for a while and I was unsure of buying it...well...because I suck at jumping around. But I immediately felt like a broom wielding ninja. I can't abstain from this but I'll have to go head to head with Andromeda's review on this one, so here goes (be gentle my first review, that's how much I felt the need to defend this game): - The controls are anything else, but "not responsive". Everything you do seems in your hands to control. - The game also includes time trials and style challenge which both rank for score on the leader boards. - Replays can be saved and also if your confused, you can watch the highest rated player on the leader board's replay to see how he solves the level and try to mimic it, if the game is to hard on you. - A map editor on the way, which will guarantee lots o content. - King of the hill and Survival modes for local multiplayer. How awesome is that ?! I came from work after a long stressful day at work, a fight with the girl friend and I can't remove myself from this game. I will immediately buy flowers tomorrow and I recommend this to any fan of this genre. Expand

  2. Super Meat Boy is one of my favorite games of all time, and I've been mastering it for almost a year. As each day passed I asked myself if another 2D platformer could ever be this great. Well, I have my answer now in the form of DustForce. This game follows the same formula of being perfectly designed, but brutally hard at the same time. The very first stage they introduce you to took me at least 20 attempts to get both keys, and I wasn't frustrated at all. Why, you ask. The soft color scheme and trans-like music keeps you in a constant state of platforming nirvana. If you're a platforming fanatic like me and you're looking for a real test of gaming prowess, you've found it with DustForce. It's early, but I think I might have found my DLC game of the year. WARNING: This game is brutally challenging. If you're not familiar with the early platformers like Ghosts & Goblins , that were hard as nails. Then save your money, you won't make it far at all.

  3. Despite looking nice, awful and unresponsive controls and nothing but a simple time trial mode ensure this is not worth the relatively high price charged for it. Expand
