 Steam drunk! Dust Force brings about kind of an oddball idiosyncrasy of mine that I have to get out of the way real quick Just bear with me for a second. I am a neat freak. I like stuff to be clean and organized I get a certain satisfaction from sweeping the floor or dusting shelves I really think there exists a clean gene either you have it and you find cleaning to be satisfying or you hate it Or you just don't care and it doesn't even enter your brain I definitely have the clean gene and Dust Force is the first game I've ever come across that preys upon that part of me Dust Force is a pure platformer that quite literally has you cleaning up levels of dust leaves muck and mold The game is streamlined in such a way that each level is like a performance You're judged at the end of each run through by finesse and completion finesse is based on the combo meter here Which you keep running as you keep going take a hit from an enemy or even pause for a moment and the meter Resets completion is based obviously on cleaning everything up and destroying every enemy So yeah, don't ever stop cleaning not for a second You have four characters to choose from each with very subtle differences that really only become apparent after you've played the game for a little bit But everyone can double jump while jump run and attack But one character is faster, but can't jump as high one character can triple jump one guy is slow But can jump higher you get the idea man. I've always wanted ninja cleaning skills Anyway, the controls here are intuitive and very comfortable So if you played a 2d platformer in your life you'll get used to the controls very quickly as you can see here The point of this game is to stay in a consistent flow clean up everything and don't break stride It's kind of like a game out of the bit trip series Dust force is immensely satisfying not just because of the gameplay, but because they picked the perfect vehicle for a game like this What's more fun than cleaning? Okay? I know that's kind of weird But I just want to convey how addicting and satisfying this game really is first You just want to get to the end of the level then you want to get good Then you want a perfect rank then you want a perfect rank with a good time And it just keeps growing from there and there's a ton of different levels You can do this with dust force is also extremely player-friendly in more subtle ways like when you're going through a level looking to get a perfect rank But you mess up. It's easy to reset and start over also the music just keeps going It doesn't reset from the beginning little things like that really add up over time I guess what I mean to say is this is the perfect speedrun game and it's made with the speedrun community in mind However, that being said if you're not big into speedruns you might find this game kind of hollow and unsatisfying There's not much story here Not that there needs to be one but there's also just not that much structure here It really is just a series of about 50 different levels that can be completed in a varying order in addition to that this game is really Freaking hard while the level design is very clever and lends itself well to what the player is expected to accomplish It is not easy at all But yeah dust force is a great player-friendly game That's crazy addictive if you're into this sort of thing or if you're just a weirdo that enjoys cleaning like me Don't be discouraged by the online scoreboard either There are some insane times posted but you're not gonna get to that point overnight It takes a lot of practice and dust force at the very least is an easy user-friendly game to practice now getting good That's the hard part
