I’ve reviewed a few Metroidvania-type action platformers with RPG elements here on Strategy for Busy People, so it should come as no surprise that I gave Dust: An Elysian Tail a go-around. I’ve got almost two hours in this title from Humble Hearts LLC. In an endless sea of Metroidvania-types, does Dust: An Elysian Tail have what it takes to stand out from the crowd? Do the RPG elements truly set it apart? Or does its snarky humor and anime fighting-game art style end up as a sad me-too attempt?

Watch on, and find out.

My name is thoraxe, and this is Strategy for Busy People. If you've got a few minutes, I'll tell you what to play.
