Dust &a; Neon

"Dust &a; Neon features meticulous gameplay that demands attention to each decision made, and adds a unique twist on the twin-stick shooter genre."

"Like Final Fantasy VIII&s;s gunblade or Gears or War&s;s active reload, Dust &a; Neon knows that a solid, satisfying mechanical input can make or break otherwise rote gunplay. It&s;s a small distinction, sure, but it lifts David Marquardt&s;s twin-stick, sci-fi …"

"Dust and Neon is a fun and engaging twin-stick shooter that set in a futuristic world featuring gunslinging robots. Its addictive action is sure to keep you busy."

"In the end, though Dust &a; Neon nails the fundamentals of a twin-stick, looter shooter it feels far too limited, familiar and simply isn&s;t ambitious enough to stand out from its genre peers. Though still reliably satisfying to play at …"

"Dust &a; Neon is a well-made roguelite with some satisfying combat that is only let down by its lack of level variety and movement capabilities. It hits all the boxes of a roguelite that is well-made, it just doesn’t quite …"

"Dust &a; Neon may be a diamond in the rough for those looking for a unique sci-fi western cover-shooter. However, the roguelite systems do a disservice to the twin-stick shooting gameplay, making it far from the most wanted."
