Duster is an Indie, Action RPG set in the wild west, where you hack, and blast, and hunt your way west!
Think the region map pick your path style of Slay The Spire, combined with real time exploration of the procedural world, plus a fuel system like in FTL.
Interested?

Mix and Match Your Duster!
Right at the start in Duster, you have 3 different visual customizations settings; and it’s not just all cosmetic.
There are 7 Accessory kerchief colors you can rock, which grant different bonuses / drawbacks.
Yellow: + Move, - stealth
Red: +1hp, -10 food /water
Blue +Accuracy, Melee attack slower
Green: + Melee attack speed, - Accuracy
Gray: +Sneak, -1hp
White: +XP, - Movement
Brown: +10 Food / Water, -xp
Or, you can do the unthinkable, and go kerchief-less!
You fashion disaster you!
No kerchief: no bonus / drawback
If that’s how you want to roll...

Plus Hats!
You thought that was the end of your visual customizations?
No!
You also get hats!
There are 5 different hats; with differing bonuses / drawbacks; to be perhaps combined with an accompanying kerchief!
Don’t you look sharp and snazzy!
Knock em dead tiger!
White Hat: +exp, - stealth
Black Hat: + Melee attack speed; - exp
Yellow Hat: + Movement speed, -1HP
Brown Hat: +10 food/water, - Movement speed
Leather Hat: +1 hp, Melee attack slower
You can also do the western unthinkable, and go hat-less!
No Hat: no bonus / drawback
Become the hat-less one, and you too can turn your skin to leather under the wild west sun!

Career Classes Too!?
Oh ya!
There are even 6 Career classes to choose to further customize your character, each granting some meaty bonuses to help define your run; fun.
Farmer: Can harvest food from plants; starts with less money
Doctor: Extra hp recovery from bandages
Hunter: Improved sneaking
Prospector: Lot of money from ore
Gunslinger: Improved Accuracy
Banker: 2x money in loot; starts with more money

Controller Support is present, and good, while currently, good old mouse and keyboard control is flat out not an option, as there is no mouse support in the game.
Hopefully, that will change.
Also, there are no remappable keys, which is an issue, as the existing keyboard controls do not feel very intuitive.
Thankfully, the gamepad controls feel good, so that is mostly what I used in the above video.

Note: This is an early look at the demo for Duster so any bugs or other oddness is not representative of the final product.
Still, Duster is an Indie, Action RPG set in the wild west, where you hack, and blast, and hunt your way west, and is well worth a wishlist and a watch.
