From Dust

From Dust

And if you had the powers of a god? Earth would move at your leisure and seas will tremble at your touch. You can move mountains, rivers diverted, and transform the arid deserts to lush forests. Dust gives you these powers and more, and it is gratifying to have them as you try to usher security a small tribe of people through a perilous world. But for all your world casting abilities, you are not omnipotent. The villagers as you house, you face the inexorable flow of nature. The subtle influence of gravity and erosion to the destructive forces of volcanoes and tsunamis, natural forcing you to adapt to survive. This task can be difficult, especially when the imperfect control pathfinding capricious and unpredictable disasters conspire against you. It connects the two problems in the game are a variety of PC-specific impairments, including the limited visual potential and an Internet connection requirements.

Despite these undesirable elements, the challenge of being a Lesser God is a friendly, and the dust that makes it even more appealing with attractive images and evocative music.

Before you start to bend nature to your will, you must first connect to the Internet. It is not only necessary to download games from Steam, but also necessary, each time you play the game Dust synchronized with Ubisoft Uplay service will not start if you can not connect. Once you're connected, it is best to leave the game loads the menu screen before you try to use the functions of steam in the game, because any activity that could cause the game to freeze or prevent Menu loading properly. Alt-Tab out of the game also caused a visual glitch when we resumed play. And speaking of graphics, do not expect a full suite of options to help you optimize performance, screen resolution, display mode, refresh rate and the version adapter is all you get. These questions can not ruin the experience, but they feel as if you do not play the best version.

It slips into the world of dust as a small worm called slider away. Their basic capability allows you to collect materials in a balloon floating, move anywhere, and then releasing them. It starts with simple applications of their skills, such as collecting soil and building a land bridge across shallow water or suck water and water from a fire. The breath acts as a storage tank, but once they release a substance that complies with the laws of nature. The flow of water, soil settles, and the lava hardens into rock relentless. In addition to exposing these natural tendencies, all three substances interact significantly. Tap water can wash the floor, and washed with water until the water evaporates it cools faster. Understanding these elements and rules underlying the physical world is essential for success in the dust, and how history is presented with a more manageable pace.

Watch the first attempts to manipulate the landscape to get the balance of the natural order is not only informative but also visually pleasing. He shut the water down the hills, are opposed to the control and spreads to settle in the soil, reduce your works of clay. Lava is a highlight. It radiates and flows, changing the density and temperature, to look at the bright colored light to cool the rock is a pleasure. These natural processes are accompanied by rich sound effects that punctuate your every action. Grinding and let the dust collection efforts to absorb the sounds of the weight, while the eruption of birds cawing and flapping signals that disaster is near. If you change the display closer to the action, you hear the crackling of the fire, the villagers are singing and the cracking, bubbling lava flows. The sights and sounds make the world a boost from the dust, and the interaction between materials and the laws of nature to make it come alive.

Even if it's just the joy of wielding the strength and experience effects, your goal is to introduce a secure tribes of people at every level. The story mode, you control them all a long ivory totems at every level, so they can build their villages, and then send them to the stone corridor to complete the level. Make available to the villages and to keep them safe are the two main efforts. Sometimes this can be done simply by manipulating the materials, but most of the time, you need more than your basic skills to ensure safe passage. Many of the totems, when solved, will give you temporary powers, which is a critical success factor. The ability to evaporate the water to extinguish the fire or to save the village from destruction, while jellifying water, you can carve out a path to your people the biblical backgrounds. Since that extends the capabilities, the dust also makes things more challenging, you must use the complete software.

In addition, breathing power, there are some other useful functions. Stones for the villages of the ability to fight the fire, lava and water, and send a villager to apply this information to the stone is often the best hope of survival, especially when the tsunamis and volcanoes erupt wheels. Unfortunately, this is also where you will run into problems with dust, the logic pathfinding. You can specify only the voices of people, it is up to there. Although they are generally good at finding any bridges that you built, are sometimes hampered by a pool of water or a small off-road problems. The obstacles can sometimes be difficult to detect, especially if one takes into account (although realistic) translucency of water. On the way the villagers do not calculate routes, such as to make the fastest, and although often successful, that will also Walkabouts some confusion.

The PC version has sharper images of its Xbox 360 counterpart, however, and allows you to save multiple files to accommodate more users better.

Moreover, because the game automatically determines the return path of a carrier of knowledge, you can see running right through a village which is threatened by lava only to provide knowledge of protection to another, safer town . Depending on your current situation, problems of pathfinding just irritate you, or they can derail your plans with catastrophic consequences. It's one thing to deal with the vagaries of nature, it is another to suffer the mistakes of man.
