We need a sequel or a remaster.
Need a sequel plsssss
Wish they'd make a new version… loved playing this
I just started getting into this game after I connected my PS3. Its really fun once you figure out what to do and how it all works. You can combine powers for unique effects. Amplify and endless earth is really fun to use. Hope this gets a remaster.
Who's watching in 2020? Just finished it this week
great game, i wish we could get a sequel
Games don't challenge the player like they used to.
The voice work on this is soooooo bad why did this get posted with that awful mouth clicky noise in every word
The game is not that hard and yes you can do things exactly the same or improvise with different strategies as well. The final main level, movements, does have surprise eruption moments that will probably have you restart, but the whole level probably only takes an hour or less, so that's not crazy for a final challenge, but it says you're in a volcano and to expect lava and rain causing floods =P
Oof I wish this was remastered
One of my all time favorite games
Kind of like the nature version of SPORE
Wish this game was remastered
in short, you're a god and you try to make the humans there survive so they can become earth/water/fire/air benders like in the Avatar animation
Two words: pop filter.
i can write a real review right here right now.
+ The Engine is the best part of the game and it was wasted on linear puzzle game.
-/+ Gameplay. it's short and dull. (4-6 hours max of gameplay or 2 hours if you're a genius first try speedrunner)
– small world.
– Feels like a sandbox forced to be linear puzzle game.
+/- Price is fair, but indie game could offer much more back then and today
– Uplay we all hate third party software even if you use steam you still got to have another layer of pain.
-/+ PC port, the controls are weird but can get used to, your camera moves at the same time as your cursor
+ abilities some are good to mess with some are meh i guess, overall ok
-/+ AI is sometimes dumb
the puzzles are not that difficult sure there will be some triel and error. Engine is wasted on the gameplay, you can unlock sandbox at the end but it also feels dull and ugly, extremely small with, the water looks dark and ugly.
6.5 not less not more.
If they want to crate a sequel (that will not happen due to shitty sales). You can release the tech demo as an official sandbox game by itself nothing else, we just wanted to play with fire, earth, water.
If there will be From Dust 2. make the world bigger with day and night cycle with random nature events. I hope i will be a game dev and make a successor to the game and recreate the engine into a better game
Finished it yesterday ?
Love it so much! So beautiful, well crafted and unique!!!!
I hope we'll see a sequel or some inspiration soon ?
Im getting this as well as another world from steam
Game made me humble at one point lol
man, i thought it was going to be a nice game to chill with but it sounds like this game is pretty chaotic. is there ever "beating" the game? like do you get to a point where everyone has developed into smart tribes and no longer need their god? lol woah i didnt expect to go all deep just now… now im reflecting on what i just said
Isn't that concept the same as in POPULUS from back in the AMIGA 500 days?^^
Only thing that angers me about this game is how stupid the AI can be sometimes. I build the villagers a bridge for them to go from point a to point b and they decide to take the long route around that is covered with lava and surrounded by the sea. Or I blow up an entrance into a mountain and they stand in front of it screaming like there was no way through…. Otherwise I say it is a pretty nice experience, challenging but kind of relaxing at the same time
Well I need something to play, guess I'll hook up the dusty PS3 for this.
This reminds me a lot of Populus 3:D
Is it possible to download and play this game to the ps4?
I get really confused when I all of a sudden get excited about a game on the PS-Store, and realise it´s for ps3? Why do they even show on my ps4-store 🙁
Basically Doshin the Giant 2.0
Should I get this or not

James Kidd from AC4 reviews From Dust!
This woman's delay in between sentences and the lack of background noise sounds like she's translating some foreign language for a show.
8.5/10 Too much nature.
8.510 too much water
The game deserves 9.5. It's hard,okay,but awesome.
ign does not make reviews like these anymore
fuckin uplay
Does it support a gamepad tho
my review is simple as this was made by ubisoft, which is already a bad sign since i can't fucking play the game without having to log in a secodn time from steam and then have the fucking program crash after i have logged in, managed to get online and then tried to be able to start the game at which it then says the fucking uplay has stopped working. Also i have to put in the fucking security password every time i try to start it. Why didn't they just release it on steam and nothing else so you could just play the game? indie game developers does this better than these morons!
should be 9.5
