Dusty Revenge has lots of potential and looks very eye-catching. The combat system is satisfying enough despite some cheap enemy tactics, and the boss fights are quite good.

Overall, Dusty Revenge feels like a game that needed just a little more time and polish. If the combat could be tightened, interface bugs fixed, and load times could be reduced, this would be a solidly enjoyable title. Perhaps patches will be released to address these flaws, but as it is, Dusty Revenge takes a shot at 2D brawling and misses the mark.

Although Dusty Revenge is a fun game to play, it is rather short, has an uncompelling storyline and lacks that touch of polish that would make it more memorable.

A cream cake that looked good caught my eyes. I took a bite with expectation that it would satisfy me. The cream is fine, but I was disappointed because the bread inside was too fluffy and tasteless. This game is just like that. Unlike the expectation of the design art, it was boring and disappointing side-scroll action game. The design art, concept and story of this game is definitely attractive. However, it is a game that can't satisfy the basic expectation of universal side-scroll game. Unlike a game that has only moving and shoot (like Metal slug, Rock man), although this game enter the command actions, the moving according to the keyboard control is not smooth. It make me feel less thrilling and frustrating. Additionally, poor hitting effects and (although there are many skills and actions...) using only certain efficient skill make it boring. 보기 좋게 생긴 생크림 케잌이 눈에 들어왔다. 바라던 달달함을 충족시킬 수 있을꺼라 기대하고 한 입 베어물었더니, 크림은 괜찮은데 안에 있는 빵이 너무 퍼석퍼석하고 맛이 없어서 어이가 없었다. 이 게임이 딱 그런 느낌이었다. 디자인을 보고 가진 기대감과는 다르게 지루하고 아쉬운 횡스크롤 액션 게임이었다. 디자인과 캐릭터 컨셉, 스토리는 분명히 매력적이다. 하지만 횡스크롤 액션에 대한 기본적인 기대감을 전혀 충족시켜주지 못하는 게임이다. (록맨이나 메탈슬러그와 같이) 무빙과 Shoot 공격만 있는 횡스크롤 게임이 아니라 커맨드를 입력하는 게임임에도 컨트롤에 따른 무빙이 매끄럽지 못해 박진감이 떨어지고 답답하다. 그리고 부족한 타격감과 (다양한 기술들이 있음에도) 효율적인 특정 기술만 사용하게 되다보니 결국 플레이 내내 지루한 액션 게임이 되버렸다.

A rather nice beat'em all with impressive combos and interesting Boss fights. But you'll have to overlook an important amount of technical issues to enjoy it. Or wait for a patch.

If you’re big into side scrolling beat ‘em ups, Dusty Revenge is not a terrible choice for your money; just remember it’s all about the game play over the story and sometimes that game play is a little off.

Dusty Revenge is a solid effort by PDDesignStudio, but it lacks the polish to really be put into the pantheon of brawlers. The good news is there's tons of promise, the art style is gorgeous, and as a general rule, the technical systems are in place to really make things pop with a sequel. With a little more polish, Dusty Revenge would be a pretty decent recommendation, but until then, only the hardiest of brawler fans need to apply.

Dusty Revenge is a very fun 2D-platform game that uses elements from other genres like fighting games and beat 'em ups. Unfortunately the game is a bit laggy and is not easy to control, why it does not get as many points as it would have gotten without the technicalities.
