Game Description
Dustborn is a single-player, story-driven action-adventure game about hope, love, friendships, robots…and the power of words.
You play Pax: exile, con-artist, Anomal - with the ability to weaponize language. Looking for a new life and a way out, Pax has been hired to transport an important package from Pacifica to Nova Scotia, across the Justice-controlled American Republic. Sounds like a legit reason for a road-trip, right?
So pack your bags, assemble a crew with their own peculiar powers, and get ready to travel the country!
Explore the stunning Neo-Western landscapes of an alternate history America on a robot-driven tour bus, and stop at a dozen locations along the road to build your crew, manage relationships, complete missions, and face increasingly difficult challenges. But the people you stole the package from want it back, and the authoritarian Justice is hot on your heels, so don’t forget to pack your baseball bat!
(And, oh yeah, you’re travelling undercover as a punk-rock band, so you’ll definitely need to brush up on your musical skills before your next gig.)
At the end of the road lies salvation…but to get there, you’ll need to cross an entire continent.
On the road across an alternate history America, you’ll stop at iconic locations, take on unexpected assignments, meet a colorful cast of characters, enlist new crew members, and evade (or fight) your pursuers. See beautiful sights along the highway, rendered in a colorful graphic-novel-inspired art style that brings stunning 2D illustrations to 3D life.
Your crew is your (found) family. Round up, manage and lean on a motley mob of misfits with peculiar powers, compelling stories and clashing personalities. Branching dialogues lead to choices that shape relationships and change how your crew feels about themselves and others.
In each location you’ll explore, investigate and chat with the people you meet, use the crew to overcome challenges, craft new Shouts and Vox, and rehearse with your band. You might also find yourself throwing Molotov cocktails from a motorbike, swing a baseball bat to take down helicopters…and more. You know, just normal everyday stuff.

Yeah, your comments around the 13 minute mark are kind of the vibe I've been getting about the whole game so far, and not just with Sai. I'm absolutely 100% all for diversity and inclusiveness. As part of what is generally the most standard demographic of game player out there, I love when games give me a chance to walk a mile in someone else's shoes and see (and feel) things from a different perspective. It really is one of the best things about the medium. But this game is so on the nose with everything it does that it honestly feels like a parody of some kind; a game made by let's just say a certain group of people literally using a checklist to make fun of "diverse and inclusive" games.
Exactly, it gets to be so much it feels less like an interesting character and more like a caricature, a mockery of a person.
I enjoy diverse characters in games, I just don't want them to feel like a joke or super heavy handed. I found Baldurs Gate 3 managed to walk that line quite nicely.
A game named Tell Me Why has an excellent perspective of a trans character and is a very sweet game.
In this one Noam is coming off as a really nice and interesting non-binary character. But Sai just comes off like someone was trying to make a joke character and I do not like that.
I think, the whole Group is a „we need to put all minorities - Drawing“. Feels a bit „artificial“, but with the most of them, it doesnt feel bad.
Pax is what you made her.
Noam is a cool Person somehow
Theo is „Daddy guy“
Sai … ah a bit annoying somehow.
Later, other people will join. Dont want to spoil anything here.
Fighting System is really broken. You can hit Robots (later) even trough obstacles. Maybe a good idea to switch to less combat (i left it to normal mode).
I think I picked less combat thankfully.
I quite like Theo and Noam. I am hoping Pax will grow more on me as the game goes on.
@@MalisityGames I think I can guarantee this to you :) Is it normal I only can see 3 of 5 Videos in the Dustborn Playlist?
@@MarkusQu Yes, I haven't finished the game yet so those are the ones that are uploaded and either released or scheduled for release.
I will be finishing the entire game though.
Videos you can't see, are those who have been assigned to the playlist but have not been released yet.
@@MalisityGames Alright, thought, i did something wrong. I am not into YT Letsplay // Content Creation, only a consumer and was wondering. I stay tuned fot the next one (and your Stray Videos, game look’s lovely, but 6h…)
