Played the game blind a couple years ago, and Dust himself quickly became one of my biggest comfort characters! It was one of those things where the moment he started talking, I knew I was gonna love him so much. Probably helped by Lucien Dodge’s excellent performance ❤️
Because of this review, i grabbed it physically since i don't do downloads. Late to the party so it set me back $150. Just started playing today, and am already at 30% complete. Can't put it down. Definitely one of my top 5 games of all time. Just wish they would do another castlevania (sotn) in this type of art style.
I Remember, the First Teaser, for the Game. It was in a German Nintendo Wii Magazine. The Creator Dean Dodrill, tried to Bring the Game to the then New Wii Ware, but the Game was to Big for the Wii Ware Service, so he went with XBOX 360. Many Years Later i got a 360 and Dust was on of the First Games i got for the System. Recently i got it for Switch, so Finally its on a Nintendo System
Happy Birthday Maverick! Unfortunately, I can't attend live, but I'll definitely be watching when I get the chance! Edit: I'm actually able to watch live after all. Yay! Edit 2: That was beautiful...
Decided to play though this game again recently for this first time in a while, because I never did end up getting the achievement for finishing the game on hardcore difficulty (man is it hard as nails). Regardless, it was a good reminder for how much I love this game. It was the first game I ever got on Steam, and it’s honestly one of my all time favourites as well. I just hope Dean decides to revisit this world some day for some kind of continuation. I remember hearing there was supposedly one more chapter after fighting Gaius that ended up getting cut due to time/budget reasons. It’s been nearly a decade, but fingers are always crossed.
@@urdeadnotbigsuprise7439 It was a very long time ago, so I can’t recall exactly where I heard about it (probably on a forum or something). As far as I’m aware the stuff that was cut never made it out of the initial planning stage, so unfortunately there isn’t anything in the way of footage or artwork to my knowledge. Though there are a couple of old test animation clips floating around from another project set in the same world that Dean made before he started on Dust.
@@starbit5065 Hmm, so it never made to concept stage huh? Then I assume that chapter was meant to set up a sequel. I know Dean is now working on an undisclosed project If his tweets are anything to go by, I just hope it's a sequel to Dust and not another MGS parody game, otherwise I will be dissapointed.
First, happy birthday. Second, I really enjoyed this game too. I actually learned about the game from your let’s all those years ago. And I also recently played it and loved it. Mashing buttons is the best. Third, it genuinely caught me off guard seeing Amber lee conners, Xander mobus, and especially Justin Brinier in this game. As soon as I heard the pink bunny’s voice and when he ask for an autograph from a “famous hero” I just knew it was him. Finally, good luck with game development, hope it goes well.
Well sorry I got there late in its premier but now I'm going to watch what I missed, but so far it's an awesome video and I can see at least from the end of the video, why this one is a birthday special.... Amazing... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO! May God Bless You This Year!
Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday Maverick, I like playing Dust too! Edit: That ending was beautiful. This might actually be my favourite video you've ever done.
Happy flipping birthday, Maverick! Again, you're really captivating me with your new rebrand. Keep creating your own field, and you'll definitely attract the attention of others. Speaking of, I think it's been about ten years since you entered the UA-cam business as the One-Winged Angel! It's been so long since you talked about your least favorite video game villains, Necron Moments, and the final boss of Super Adventure Island 2. And within that ten year period, you just kept improving. And here we are now. So, not only am I wishing you a happy 24th, but I'm also wishing you a happy 10th anniversary on UA-cam. Yours is a journey that's just beginning. *insert Duodecim credits music here*
I played this game ages ago but its still so good. Definitely top 5 games ive ever played for me, and used to be my favorite as well (Also, happy birthday)
I'm surprised it's been over 6 years since I started watching your videos, based on the first time I heard you talk about this game on your (OLD) top10 vids
Happy late birthday, Maveric. Hope you enjoyed your birthday. I only got around to playing Dust back in 2019, a while after I had gotten some other games to play. Dust interested me out of curiosity and how cheap it was on PS Store. After playing it, I easily find it to be a great game I happily enjoy. And I do agree on those negatives you mentioned in the video. They annoyed me as well. Also, that Dance Party thing? Far as I know, the DJs are the one who composed the music for this game. I believe they were called "Duck Head"? I could be wrong on this, but it's something I noticed and wanted to bring up.
Happy Birthday Maverick. I agree with everything you said about Dust, it is truly a great masterpiece of a game and it's cool the game inspire you to go for your gaming career. If we do meet I would love to have you as one of my game developers as we love video games and animated movies. :) Also, I knew Dust feels like a Don Bluth film! XD
Having beaten this game just the other day, I can finally say with full confidence that this game is, indeed, as wonderful as you make it out to be. The final boss is one of the most thrilling I've ever faced, and not just because he's the only genuinely good boss in the game. I haven't 100% everything tho, so I'll have to go back and do just that another day. Beyond that, I'm just glad to finally watch this whole video without worrying over spoilers anymore.
Yup one of my favorites games also i admire how you resume the story (because when i did my video for the anniversary months ago, i ended doing a 1 hour video because i literally told all the story part by part + my opinion and some curious facts)
Absolutely LOVE this game...oh, shoutout to Ori & The Blind Forest, too. Both I share equally high love & praise for. Also, who knows, Dean Dodrill might actually wind up seeing this vid. After all, Dante Bosco was at Midwest Furfest (furry convention taking place in Rosemont, IL, in case you weren't already aware) back in 2019 as a Guest of Honor alongside Vivien Medrano, aka Vivziepop, the creator of "Hazbin Hotel" and "Helluva Boss." Really wish I wasn't as sick as I was that year, I'd have said hi to them...oh, and Malcolm from Channel Awesome. Anyway, I've rambled long enough. Dust: An Elysian Tail is an AWESOME game and I'm SO glad my friends (and The Quarter Guy) made me aware of this all-time great. Oh...and happy birthday, Maverick! ;3
Happy birthday man! I'm a little late on watching this, but (pure usual) this was a fun watch. Happy to see one of my favorite content creators gush over there FGOAT.
Too bad I couldn't watch this before to say happy birthday to you on the exact day! Apart from that, I knew that this game existed, but didn't know too much about it, so it was really interesting to hear you talk about it, I'll certainly grab a copy and play it myself when I can!
1:24 *realizes that it's on sale* ...ughhh why haven't looked into this one yet?? (As someone who was fine with bloodstained on the switch, a metroidvania in 30 fps was _never_ an issue to me)
on a somewhat related note (at least indie game wise), i really hope you talk about Bloodstained. Its the Castlevania revival we've been waiting for and i've been absolutely loving the hell out of it
There are only 2 things that hold this game back from being my favorite indie title. The combat: I thought the sword combo's were really well designed - the way you can chain them together is AMAZING! But rest of the abilities were pretty lackluster. The magic is very spam-y, you just cast your choice of orb and then charge it with dust storm. There isn't really a optimal moment to use it or anything, just throw it in wherever. And then dust storm is pretty one note. Hold button. The stun state could have been an interesting twist, but the charge up time is way too long and you lose the buildup pretty quickly. I think I only ever came close to getting stunned by it once through 3 playthroughs. The aerial dust storm is a bit better than grounded, but still about the same.That combined with the enemies having a bit too much health at times really killed it for me. The other is the story. And I want to be clear; the acting was INCREDIBLE! I fully applaud the voice actors and the director for their execution. I LOVE the art! There are a lot of great side stories as well. But the core story was not well written. I can deal with the cliche story notes, like the amnesia opening and the self discovery journey, but they need to be well executed to work. Dust ALMOST had it right. There is a cohesive reasoning behind each story element, and there is a proper buildup to each plot reveal. But it all progresses too abruptly - The story opens up by sprinting through the first half of the hero's journey in about 30 minutes. Then it puts the whole story on pause while you play the game, hinting at the ending of it all, and then in the last 30 minutes it sprints through the second half of the hero's journey. That's really my only complaint about the story though, so pretty fantastic overall! Truthfully, it is an impressive feat for a novice game developer, and I'll always love the game for that! You can feel the passion that they had. It remains in my top 20 games list, but other titles have started to climb above it - A Hat in Time, The Ori games (which I was really excited got a mention in this video!), Tunic, and Risk of Rain are my top 5, Dust is shortly below them.
I remember seeing a review of this game on toonami years ago and it blew me away. While I never beat it, I still really enjoyed my time with it. Sidenote, the Commander is played by Chris Guerrero (who did voicework for the abridged series dub of the Northstar).
Definitely was interested in this for a while now since I saw it on the Switch eShop, even if I'm not heavily into these kinds of games usually, but now I'm considering it more. And yeah, any game that manages to inspire a new game dev is good in my book. I had a similar thing with another game (Tho I've yet to do anything about that dream yet. Lol).
Hey bro happy b day I’ve been following you and your channel for almost as long as I can remember so I’d just like to say thx for all the years of great vids
I have to say this separate from my other comment... Fidget is my favourite video game character of all time! She's funny; she's adorable; she's actually USEFUL... and yeah, you said it: she's precious! LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!
Happy late birthday Maverick. One thing I would love to see if you plan on doing a highlights of your playthrough of Dust An Elysian Tale. That would be awesome especially if you include from episode 23. About 15 minutes and 54 seconds where you suplexed an airship and added RULES OF NATURE when you went to edit the playthrough.
I still remember just randomly finding this game via Free Games W/ Gold & immediately falling in love with it. Now I also own it on Steam & Switch. Also have a funny bit similar to your plot twist crash you recorded. First ever time I fought the final boss, the game SOFTLOCKED on the final hit. Neither me nor the boss would get back up to do the coup de grace part & I had to redo the whole fight. I wasn't even mad because I love that fight.
One thing that I need to mention is that Fuse is voiced by Omahdon, the same person who voiced Nazo from Sonic Nazo Unleashed. Just a little fun fact, since I was surprised when I found out about it.
I played a trio of amazing indie games about 6 years back and this was my favorite and always stuck with me. I must go play again b4 I finish you video. (Other games were Valiant Hearts and Puppeteer)
7:27: As Maverick said earlier he talked about this game before his channels rebranding, so as such I did get spoiled on this game up to the final boss on certain details... But not the very ending. The time stamp is the only time I jumped ahead in the video, because I knew that now, unlike years ago when I thought this game as looking boring, now is something awesome that I WANT DO BAD to experience! So I don't know what happens at the end, and other details in the middle of the game so now, I am ready for the adventure you took all those years ago....... Now to GET the game.... Somehow. Wish me luck on that. 🙂 felt like bringing it up for @BlackMageMaverick to know.
I loved this game. Yeah I actually played it after a couple of my friends kept on telling me about it and how good it was for 4 days straight. So I decided to play it and I'm glad I listened to my friends cause that game was awesome, and yeah Fidget is a precious cinnamon roll who must be protected at all costs.
I remember playing a demo of this on Xbox and I always wanted to buy this game and see more of what the demo gives a peek at but I never did. It really looked like something special.
Haven't watched the video yet... And this is already one my favourite video's you've done. *I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME!!!!* Oh, uh, language around here... *I FLIPPING LOVE THIS GAME!!!!*
I forgot this game was on the switch. Maybe now I can finally get the chance to play this game. Edit: I've officially gotten the game for the switch and started playing it. Edit (Again): I've officially beaten the game, I LOVED it and I REALLY want a sequel.
Will this indie game continue? Because I really love it!! This game is really a hidden gem, that I hope more people will play it! And dust will come back in a series to be continued!
I just finished the game and came back to this review i initially skipped to avoid spoilers. It reminded me a lot of Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, both visually and gameplay-wise (which i admit, was the main reason i was wanting to finally play it for the first time even after all these years). I actually expected a brief mention of the similiarities in this review, but i guess you just didn't play it yet. So yeah, this is basically a long winded recommendation, i honestly think you would like it quite a lot. It's very cheap for both ps4 and ps3, if you manage to find it.
I actually got to trying out this game because of this review, and I had a lot of fun. I have gotten 114% now, just needing to get 4 stars on most trials. Definitely was a good time.
You know, if Microsoft were to attempt to do their own take on the mascot fighter, I think it'd be fitting if they included some of the various indie characters that had their games be funded by Microsoft, with Dust being among them. I also remember a fanmade Death battle on DeviantArt that pitted Dust against Zero from Mega Man. Zero won obviously and I don't remember much else. I also remember this game from a VG Cats Comic Dub that advertised the game at the end. Don't remember what video. Going to get this game on Switch some time. Edit: I did not expect to learn that Erica Mendez, Xander Mobus, and Justin Briner to have done voice work in this game. Then again..I remember Kira Buckland for her performance as Twilight Sparkle in HotdigetyDemon's Pony.MOV. I also now remember Erica Mendez played Rainbow Dash on Death Battle.
This was a wholesome video full of geniune thought and passion. Happy Birthday, Maverick.
This is an INDIE game?! The visuals alone impress me more than the visuals of most AAA games do!
Almost like gritty realism isn’t the only way to wow an audience.
I know right!? This I pure art.
this game is super underrated, idk why no big UA-camrs have played it, it's not expensive, and it's so beautiful!
the gameplay is better than a lot of AAA games too.
Don’t tell that to Physconauts 2
It’s good to see that people notice this game it’s so underrated I really wanted it to get a sequel
So in a nutshell Dust is basically a Cloud Strife with a more mystical reason for why
Dust an Elysian Tail is one of my favorite games of all time and definitely my favorite Indie game and you only reinforce why I love the game so much
Today's your birthday?
Happy birthday maverick.
Here is some cake 🎂.
Also dust is Hifumi and K1-B0's va and that's funny.
Oo! Cake! Lol
the cake is a lie
Played the game blind a couple years ago, and Dust himself quickly became one of my biggest comfort characters! It was one of those things where the moment he started talking, I knew I was gonna love him so much. Probably helped by Lucien Dodge’s excellent performance ❤️
Bro, I'll be totally honest, you turned me on to this game, not sure when I will get it because of reasons and money but I'll try. Thx bro, thx.
Because of this review, i grabbed it physically since i don't do downloads. Late to the party so it set me back $150.
Just started playing today, and am already at 30% complete. Can't put it down. Definitely one of my top 5 games of all time. Just wish they would do another castlevania (sotn) in this type of art style.
Would love to see you cover Dreams since its a hidden gem more people need to be aware of
The ps4 game?
Me when i finish the game and waiting on a sequel- “Ashes to Ashes, Dust to dust”
Happy birthday Maverick, I'm gonna get this game off my backlog soon.
Finished the game this morning, was good and glad to finally have it off the backlog.
I Remember, the First Teaser, for the Game. It was in a German Nintendo Wii Magazine.

Edit: I'm actually able to watch live after all. Yay!

Ahrah is like the dad of Dust and Fidget, and Dust and Fidget are like the bickering siblings.
Decided to play though this game again recently for this first time in a while, because I never did end up getting the achievement for finishing the game on hardcore difficulty (man is it hard as nails). Regardless, it was a good reminder for how much I love this game. It was the first game I ever got on Steam, and it’s honestly one of my all time favourites as well.
I just hope Dean decides to revisit this world some day for some kind of continuation. I remember hearing there was supposedly one more chapter after fighting Gaius that ended up getting cut due to time/budget reasons. It’s been nearly a decade, but fingers are always crossed.
I know this is a late reply but do you remember where did you see that? I wanna look at that myself.
@@urdeadnotbigsuprise7439 It was a very long time ago, so I can’t recall exactly where I heard about it (probably on a forum or something).

Fidget is the most realistic companion because the responses and reactions she has is SO REALISTIC!
Happy flipping birthday, Maverick!
Again, you're really captivating me with your new rebrand. Keep creating your own field, and you'll definitely attract the attention of others.
Speaking of, I think it's been about ten years since you entered the UA-cam business as the One-Winged Angel! It's been so long since you talked about your least favorite video game villains, Necron Moments, and the final boss of Super Adventure Island 2.
And within that ten year period, you just kept improving. And here we are now. So, not only am I wishing you a happy 24th, but I'm also wishing you a happy 10th anniversary on UA-cam.
Yours is a journey that's just beginning.

Wait a minute.. Deku was in this game? Deku?!? I had no idea since I played this long before I even started watching My Hero!
I recognize that name from FF7:Machinabridged. He plays Cloud. :)
This is one of my favorite games, I loved everything about it and after beating it, made me want a sequel.
Happy late birthday, Maveric. Hope you enjoyed your birthday.

Thanks for giving me an idea of what game I should do a challenge run for next. I'm thinking hard-core mode without using skill gems.
Happy birthday man! I'm a little late on watching this, but (pure usual) this was a fun watch. Happy to see one of my favorite content creators gush over there FGOAT.
Happy birthday Maverick!
Ngl, Dust is pretty high up there on my favorites, too haha.
Happy birthday, Mr. Maverick!
Happy birthday Maverick!👍🏻🎂
I missed the premiere sadly, but Happy Birthday, Mavvy. I hope you've had a good one!

Hey bro happy b day I’ve been following you and your channel for almost as long as I can remember so I’d just like to say thx for all the years of great vids
I have to say this separate from my other comment...
Fidget is my favourite video game character of all time!
She's funny; she's adorable; she's actually USEFUL... and yeah, you said it: she's precious!
LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!
Happy birthday Maverick. I love you, man.
Happy late birthday Maverick. One thing I would love to see if you plan on doing a highlights of your playthrough of Dust An Elysian Tale. That would be awesome especially if you include from episode 23. About 15 minutes and 54 seconds where you suplexed an airship and added RULES OF NATURE when you went to edit the playthrough.
I’m very nostalgic towards this game. Now I am aspiring author thanks to it. 2015 was a good year.
I finished this game a few months ago after wanting to for ages.
I loved it so much, I commissioned a custom Fidget plush like the one in the game.
It’s been years since I last played this game on Steam. I should change that someday.
I still remember just randomly finding this game via Free Games W/ Gold & immediately falling in love with it. Now I also own it on Steam & Switch. Also have a funny bit similar to your plot twist crash you recorded. First ever time I fought the final boss, the game SOFTLOCKED on the final hit. Neither me nor the boss would get back up to do the coup de grace part & I had to redo the whole fight. I wasn't even mad because I love that fight.
I absolutely adore the soundtrack for this game
I swear this was my most favorite game ever and it still is I still play it as well lol
Happy birthday then.
I remember almost fully investing in Dust’s attack stat when I played. He was stupid in how fast even the fat enemies would drop.
One thing that I need to mention is that Fuse is voiced by Omahdon, the same person who voiced Nazo from Sonic Nazo Unleashed. Just a little fun fact, since I was surprised when I found out about it.
I played a trio of amazing indie games about 6 years back and this was my favorite and always stuck with me. I must go play again b4 I finish you video. (Other games were Valiant Hearts and Puppeteer)

More video games should let you turn abandoned buildings into disco clubs. I only know of two, and that's just not enough.
Someday, Mavy. You've opened my eyes to this game and I _will_ play it someday.
I loved this game. Yeah I actually played it after a couple of my friends kept on telling me about it and how good it was for 4 days straight. So I decided to play it and I'm glad I listened to my friends cause that game was awesome, and yeah Fidget is a precious cinnamon roll who must be protected at all costs.
only one problem with this video:
*IT'S ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE*...
This game is an absolute masterpiece. Bought it once, thinking about buying it again.
Happy birthday Maverick
I remember watching it win an award on the 360 I bought it and fell in love
Fun Fact, the voice actor for Fale is a friend of mine, he's recently gotten Twitch Affiliate, you should check him out 😂 twitch.tv/coschallengers
Oh nice!
i literally threw all my lvl ups into fidget and it busted the game lol
I remember playing a demo of this on Xbox and I always wanted to buy this game and see more of what the demo gives a peek at but I never did. It really looked like something special.
I don’t care what anyone says this games deserves a sequel or at least a dlc or something
I just played this game for myself, and..... holy bananas, you weren't kidding. I think it might be the best indie game I've played since Undertale.
Happy Birthday mav!
Haven't watched the video yet...
And this is already one my favourite video's you've done.
*I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME!!!!*
Oh, uh, language around here...
*I FLIPPING LOVE THIS GAME!!!!*
23:10 RULES OF NATURE!!!!
I forgot this game was on the switch. Maybe now I can finally get the chance to play this game.
Edit: I've officially gotten the game for the switch and started playing it.
Edit (Again): I've officially beaten the game, I LOVED it and I REALLY want a sequel.
Happy birthday dude
I remember getting this game on Xbox with games with gold, I was too young to appreciate it so I’m going to buy it on steam
12:53 Yeah, the king, who would be General Gaius' superior, was cut due to time constraints.
Since this game is similar to Don Bluth’s films, this is like if he made a video game like an anime.
One of my favorite games as well
14:28 You didn’t show Alastor...
So you have chosen... death
One of my favorite games of all time. I am dying for a sequel.
Will this indie game continue? Because I really love it!! This game is really a hidden gem, that I hope more people will play it! And dust will come back in a series to be continued!
I just finished the game and came back to this review i initially skipped to avoid spoilers. It reminded me a lot of Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, both visually and gameplay-wise (which i admit, was the main reason i was wanting to finally play it for the first time even after all these years). I actually expected a brief mention of the similiarities in this review, but i guess you just didn't play it yet.
So yeah, this is basically a long winded recommendation, i honestly think you would like it quite a lot. It's very cheap for both ps4 and ps3, if you manage to find it.
Happy birthday!🎂🎂🎂
ALASTOR THE RADIO DEMON WAS IN THIS GAME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Happy Birthday Mav. 24:53
I actually got to trying out this game because of this review, and I had a lot of fun. I have gotten 114% now, just needing to get 4 stars on most trials. Definitely was a good time.
Happy birthday!
I really loved Fidget, she was my favourite character
You know, if Microsoft were to attempt to do their own take on the mascot fighter, I think it'd be fitting if they included some of the various indie characters that had their games be funded by Microsoft, with Dust being among them.
I also remember a fanmade Death battle on DeviantArt that pitted Dust against Zero from Mega Man. Zero won obviously and I don't remember much else. I also remember this game from a VG Cats Comic Dub that advertised the game at the end. Don't remember what video.
Going to get this game on Switch some time.
Edit: I did not expect to learn that Erica Mendez, Xander Mobus, and Justin Briner to have done voice work in this game. Then again..I remember Kira Buckland for her performance as Twilight Sparkle in HotdigetyDemon's Pony.MOV. I also now remember Erica Mendez played Rainbow Dash on Death Battle.
I just found this game again, after 7 years
this deserves a sequel
My man uploaded let's go
*Comically long spit take*
Wait, Corbin and Akko from Little Witch Academia are voiced by the same person?!
I really gotta play this sometime.
