TheGamer80For every battle that frustrated me or story beat I could see coming from a mile away, Duskfade more than made up for it with an unending amount of heart, worlds I genuinely wanted to explore, and tight, surprisingly challenging platforming. Kingdom Hearts might be what got my foot in the door, but Duskfade ended up being more than the sum of its parts.
Nintendo Life70Duskfade is the epitome of a flawed gem. There's an excellent game in here, but Weird Beluga hasn't quite managed to find it yet. Duskfade thus feels like a great 'proof of concept' release where, despite the jank, it provides a strong foundation for a potential sequel to build upon.Gorgeous graphical design, enjoyable platforming, and a heartfelt story all make this one a worthwhile endeavour, even if the combat can get tiresome and navigation frustrating. I'd suggest picking up Duskfade if you're feeling particularly nostalgic for the early-2000s era of gaming, though perhaps this is one to hold out for a modest sale before grabbing it.
