From Dusk Till Dawn incorporates the feature nicely, letting you discover characters during the adventure that won't always hang around or survive, but do add an innovative element of support as you fight the undead.Īnother horror feature employed is the idea of defending a specific locale from monsters instead of continuously trudging into the unknown. The one-person-against-all formula of survival horror games has always eschewed the basic tenet of horror - to heighten suspense, there must be a group of people slowly being whittled down by lurking monsters or maniacs. The only requirement is to have good aim and be quick on the trigger. No frilly, wacky puzzles to solve, no need to combine obscure items, find specially marked crests, or play piano keys in a special order. The action is simple - find weapons, then hunt down monsters and blow them away.

Designer Hubert Chardot, creator of Alone in the Dark, infuses the somewhat stale genre with a new approach, by stripping the game to its bare essentials, not by adding elements that get in the way. Unfortunately, sloppy gameplay negates the gains made in development. In addition to the main campaign, DUSK features an Endless Survival Mode, putting you front and center against wave after wave of merciless enemies.Īnd for those looking for an extra challenge, DUSK also offers the chance to go head to head online to battle your friends in DUSKWorld arena multiplayer, where darkness hosts the worst of humanity in surprising new ways.From Dusk Till Dawn incorporates some innovations into the survival horror genre and, in general, gets a good many things right in presenting a more traditional idea of horror. Featuring a vast arsenal of badass weaponry including sickles, swords, crossbows, rifles, dual-wielded and double barreled shotguns and incredibly necessary grenade and rocket launchers, DUSK brings unapologetic retro action from start to finish. In three distinct campaign episodes hand-crafted from straight outta the '90s, players will battle through an onslaught of mystical backwater cultists, possessed militants and even darker forces and attempt to discover just what lurks beneath the Earth. Inspired by Doom, Quake, Blood, Heretic, Hexen, Half-Life, Redneck Rampage and all your '90s favorites, while featuring a soundtrack by metal music mastermind Andrew Hulshult. DUSK reintroduces you to a world where butchery and bloodshed must be mastered.
