The game world and the different graphical effects for combat abilities are just as well done, some of the best I've ever seen even.

What's more remarkable is this game was designed by one man alone, going by the name of Dodrill, he was only aided for the soundtracks and voice acting.

It strongly reminded me of Rayman’s art style, especially the cave levels.

As far as the actual gameplay is concerned, Dust mainly focuses on swift attacting combo's (which are ideally suited for an Xbox 360 gamepad, the game actually being an Xbox-port) and some jumping and puzzle-solving action.
