![]() Just maybe take advantage of the game’s ‘quick save’ function regularly. The bosses are even more brutal, with some slick platforming and accurate shooting required to take down these nasties – each showdown with them is brilliant and it’s always a treat to encounter them though, so you won’t mind too much. One particular foe that stood out was the invisible creature that tries to slice away at your innards… you should listen when the game warns you ‘don’t go in the ruins’, folks. Whilst most enemies go down with minimal fuss early on, later episodes can be particularly challenging with their mixture of tougher foes and perilous hazards. And believe me, there are some f*****g vicious baddies that’ll hunt you down, with levels often filling with projectiles heading your way. Surprisingly, the most powerful option here is the bar of soap, which deals MASSIVE damage when thrown If you manage to find one, make sure to put it to use…Īll of the weapons are fun to use, whilst you’ll constantly find ammo to ensure you’re fully loaded and ready for whatever the game throws at you next. ![]() Players can also find inanimate objects in levels that they can pick up and throw at enemies. It’s easy to flick between weapons on the fly thanks to the intuitive weapon wheel, whilst the power-ups that are scattered across levels will also help make you more powerful. Whilst your pistol and shotguns can be satisfyingly dual-wielded, players are also armed with a super shotgun, a hunting rifle, a crossbow, and the riveter (which can also be used to rocket jump if shot correctly). The gameplay is intense too, with a slick variety of weaponry really giving the player the upper hand over the seemingly endless foes coming their way. “Episode One was my favourite there was something about the rural farmlands that felt befitting of horror-shooting, whilst it also brought with it plenty of nasty surprises like scarecrows coming to life in cornfields or barns full of vicious creatures, as well as a surprising turn at the end.” That being said, Episode Two and Episode Three bring with them plenty of unique and grotesque sights too, with DUSK certainly delivering when it comes to eerie level design. ![]() Whilst I don’t want to spoil too much here, I will say that Episode One was my favourite there was something about the rural farmlands that felt befitting of horror-shooting, whilst it also brought with it plenty of nasty surprises like scarecrows coming to life in cornfields or barns full of vicious creatures, as well as a surprising turn at the end. Taking inspiration from the likes of DOOM, Quake, and Hexen, DUSK features three episodes made up of eleven different levels (one of which is secret), with each level expansive in size and featuring platforming challenges, plenty of enemies to kill, and secrets to uncover.Įach episode brings with it an array of locales to explore, with each offering something a little different. Where DUSK does deliver is with its first-person shooting action, which is absolutely sublime from start to end. You do get segments of text in-between each episode that push the story forward though, which is something that those looking for lore will probably appreciate. Ok, there’s a bit more to it than that and some neat environmental storytelling will help players piece things together, but this isn’t a narrative-heavy experience. Like its forebearers, DUSK doesn’t throw its story in your face too much, though it’s easy to get a basic idea of what’s going on: cultists are causing chaos and it’s up to you to blast them to pieces.

And believe me, DUSK on the Nintendo Switch is absolutely glorious. In a gaming generation that has seen old school-style titles surge in popularity and success, it’s only fitting that the 90s-style first-person shooters have their moment of glory too.
