Just tried DUSK on the Switch
3 years ago
General
And god damn does it play great, there. Only halfway through the opening level but I'm not noticing ANY sacrifices from the PC version, it even runs at 60FPS, which you can't say about many shooters on Switch.
If anything, that much speed and smoothness is almost more than you can handle on console controls.
For those unaware, DUSK fucking rules, it's like if you take the gameplay of Quake, make it WAY more fun and less brown, and then sprinkle it with the themes and motifs of Blood. DUSK has only been around a few years but it's already an all-timer shooter, up there with DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, etc. and frankly if I'm being honest it beats all of them in level design, which is the game's primary strength - ludicrously creative level designs. It never gets boring because every level has its 'thing.' Be it a level based on the famous MC Escher painting - you know the one - a level that's essentially an indoor version of DOOM's famous Mt. Erebus level (The first open outdoor area in FPS history if I'm not mistaken) and even has "Erebus" in its name to denote that, or the open level's heavy Texas Chainsaw Massacre theme, things never get boring in this one.
And you can dual-wield shotguns.
It's in the eShop for $20 and a limited number of physical editions are up for pre-order on Best Buy for $35. If one can get over the intentionally dated looking 3D graphics of the game, it's one of the best shooters ever made, period.
