DUSTWIND REQUIREMENTS FULL
There are also various healing items, which range from Mutatoes to full on medical kits. It’s rather satisfying taking out a cluster of enemies with a carefully placed daisy chain of mines. You can access these and more by using B or Y to open your skill wheels. Grenades, mines and other remote explosives can also be used depending on the strategy you choose to employ.
You can also engage your stealth mode if you want to play things a little more covertly (rushing in very rarely ends well). This is when you are out in the field at least, as after each mission you return to base camp and every so often you will need to defend it against waves of enemies, which introduces a tower defense slant on the gameplay. It opens up slowly, but simply consists of gathering resources, fighting enemies and escorting allies (who you can directly control in some missions). The main campaign is a 16-part story which should take you about 10 hours to blast through. However, once you get going you’ll get the hang of it, even if you don’t immediately use the many skills at your disposal, or if you feel the need to check the control mapping every so often. Sure, it’s confusing as hell to begin with, and the tutorial is a lengthy one which bombards you with numerous elements of the gameplay which you’ll struggle to remember at first. Going back to the control setup, Dustwind – The Last Resort doesn’t do too bad a job of mapping its commands to Xbox. That’s also effectively where the story telling ends. This sets the scene for the single player campaign, which is essentially one long rescue mission. Combat is simplistic enough but the weird control scheme can make even easy fights more challenging than they have to be.You play as a nameless wanderer, who is set upon by Raiders that give you a good duffing up, and make off with your daughter. Everything has been done here before the gasmeplay loop involves building your character, doing quests, getting gear, and finding allies. While some things are done well in Dustwind, there is not enough done exceptionally well to remove your gaze from the fact that this is all so generic.
By the numbers tactical strategy gaming (6/10) If you have played the original Fallout titles and have sampled the story of Fallout: New Vegas, then Dustwind feels like an own-brand retread of the same plots, themes, and ideas. Some will feel comfortable comparing this to the Fallout original games, but it lacks anything like the same written panache or detail in the world-building. To be honest, the plot feels like something that was scrapped from something like Fallout: New Vegas for being too generic. Take on the role of a heroine (who has no name) and work your way through the ranks, gaining revenge for being left on the brink of death. For that reason, Dustwind is probably a more newbie-friendly option for those who have just arrived to this genre.
It’s a pretty standard game of this style, and for most players you will more or less understand the games systems within an hour or two of playing. Sadly, Dustwind tends to stick a little too strongly to the old tropes that have been done to absolute death. If you have played one game trying to make an edgy world feel tactical and slick, you have played most of them.
