I don’t even mean that as a backhanded compliment or anything, it’s truly that good. Back when I took a deeper look at the game, I said that it had some of the best reloading action of any game ever, and I still say that it’s the best thing about this game. Now, expecting every roguelike action game to have a plot or lore on the same level as something like Hades would be ludicrous, but Dust & Neon only aims for the barest minimum as far as story or characterization goes, mainly through a rather weak sense of humor in stuff like the attempts at one-liners our hero gives out after killing enemies (“I came, I saw, I killed” they say often, delivering a line that even the cheesiest ’80s action film would reject).ĭust & Neon doesn’t exactly deliver in terms of story, but can it at least deliver when it comes to the all-important action? Well, it does have fun gameplay at its core. It’s not exactly starting things off on the right foot, to say the least.

There’s not even an intro cinematic or anything you just start, see your gunslinger emerge from a cloning chamber and get straight to killing robots. Set in a futuristic version of the Wild West, Dust & Neon sees you playing as a deceased cowboy reanimated by a mad scientist in order to defeat a robot army, and that one sentence is all that you’ll be getting in terms of plot. Unfortunately, I was so dazzled at the time that I forgot to ask one important question: “will this experience that was fun for about fifteen minutes be fun for multiple hours?” And the answer to that question is…well, I direct you to the use of “unfortunately” back there. As I stated then, it wasn’t the most original title, being a twin-stick shooter with roguelike elements, but it had more than enough charm in the demo presented to completely win me over, delivering an experience that was just pure fun. In the end, I went with Dust & Neon from developer David Marquardt Studios. When it came to sharing my opinions about the best games at PAX West last year, I knew I had to choose at least one from publisher Rogue Games’ stacked lineup.
