Описание


DUSK reintroduces you to a world where butchery and bloodshed must be mastered... if you're to survive 'til dawn. 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.

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. 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 addition to the main campaign, DUSK features an Endless Survival Mode, putting you front and center against wave after wave of merciless enemies.

And 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...

DUSK is a excellent dark, atmospheric boomer shooter. Very fun gameplay, good level design and enemies. The weapons you have are fairly basic for the genre but its not necessarily a problem. The lofi art style is good, I like some others a bit more but its solid.

If you like retro shooters and like the look of it from the store page I think its unlikely you'll be disappointed.

It's currently marked down from 20 USD to 10 USD. Value at 20 is decent but its definitely a good buy at 10.

10/10, pretty sure David Szymanski ripped a hole in the space time continuum to another timeline where Quake 2 leaned into the horror vibes, brought that version of Quake 2 to our timeline, then re-branded it as DUSK.

Un boomer shooter el cual trata bastante de recrear el sentimiento de los antiguos, lo cual logra muchisimo, si eres un viejo de 40 con 2 divorcios el cual jugo doom cuando salio, no se porque vez reseñas de steam, pero disfrutaras muchisimo de este juego. Aunque se lleva algunos de los problemas de los shooters de esa epoca, no tiene autoguardado y alguna decisiones en los niveles son cuestionables, aunque son generalmente en el capitulo 1 y 2, el tercero es muy bueno, homecoming fue una sorpresa que no esperaba para nada pero me dejo muy satisfecho

The first of the New Blood trilogy. I feel so late to the party on this one cause I remember when it came out it pretty much started the retro fps craze, and it deserves the credit. It isn't UltraKill, but it doesn't need to be.

Like almost every single other so-called 'Boomer Shooter', this game misses the ONE feature that ACTUALLY made games like this popular in the first place: Co-op Multiplayer.

That alone shows how out of touch the modern gaming industry is - even Indie devs have their heads up their arses.

On to the review now.

===========================================================

I don't rate this game but I've recommended it. This is because the first two episodes are worth the price alone

Which works in well because everything after that is not only worthless, but actively cruel. It feel like the designer was so sick of doing their job, so they tried to pass the along the pain to the player.

The boss battle is TERRIBLE.

Listen to me: It's the worst-designed boss battle I've ever had the misfortune of witnessing, Which is pretty impressive considering it's literally just two combatants in one tiny room. No setpiece, no workaround, nothing clever - just 'fuck you' if you enjoyed playing the game so far.

It requires understanding gaming concepts (specifically, enemy bunny hopping) that the game NEVER even introduces, let alone teaches you about.

This game doesn't feel like a celebration of old school gaming, it feels like the digital version of the sentence 'you wouldn't last very long back in my day'. Like, it's not about sharing joy that older games brought. It's more about punishing people who weren't there at the time.

For the record I was there at the time. Played the original Blood and Blood 2 at launch.

I KNOW how to defeat a bunny-hopping enemy - shoot a lot and don't stand still.

It's just crap design - so I refuse to engage with the end of game, which I feel has cursed the previous time I spent in the game, which makes me feel like the whole thing was a waste of time.

Again, this game feels more like punishment than joy. Buyer Beware but also some of you freaks love that shit, and you're the ones I'm recommending the game to, dig?

I've got absolutely no idea what's so good about this game. The movement feels slippery, it's hard to actually hit anything, the enemies do not react to being hit whatsoever, and the levels give me headaches. At some point in the industrial area I had to search for online tutorials to find the right path. Meanwhile it lacks basic modern game features such as autosave, which can significantly improve the experience.
Downloaded and deleted three times without finishing it once. This game could have been a masterpiece in the 1990s, but only in the 1990s.

As of writing this I have not played a lot of this game but jeez is this fun so far, the level design is actually perfect, it encourages you to search for secrets and explore the map while keeping that classic run and gun fun with such a variety of weapons, I was playing through the first campaign and actually found a secret level, honestly just an amazing game and I plan to keep playing this for a long time.

As a Boomer Shooter, DUSK is really good where it counts. The movement is tight, shots are accurate and taking down enemies feels satisfying. There are many different weapons, from normal pistols to exploding rivet guns, and many enemies like Wizards, Wendigos and dogs in rolling cages. Another strong point of DUSK is the atmosphere; every level feels dank, oppressive and foreboding, and it almost never lets up. And the rocking soundtrack is the cherry on top - it's really good.

DUSK does have a few weaknesses though. Hit feedback is a bit weak, as is the weapon feel. There is not much weight behind shots and the accompanying sound effects, which isn't that important for a boomer shooter, but could still feel better. Level design is generally pretty good, but it follows the traditional "find key in one part of the level and use it in a different part" pattern of Hexen, Heretic and so forth, so if you are bad at memorizing level layouts, DUSK may frustrate at times - a problem that is made worse by the fact there is no TAB map for the levels. In my opinion, though, most of the levels are small and compact enough that it only rarely becomes a problem.

Even so, DUSK has its heart and most of its body parts in the right place. As someone who has learned to enjoy Boomer Shooters in recent years, DUSK is definitely one of the best I have played so far, and secrets, achievements and endless modes lend some replayability for those who seek it. A definite recommendation!

This is hands down one of the best boomer shooters I ever played. The combat is satisfying, the weapons are simple but fun, the secrets are fun to find, the level design overall is great and reminded me of Quake a lot. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys games in this genre 100%. Don't even get me started on the OST. It is incredible. I'll be listening to it for a while even after finishing the rest of the game.

Super fun FPS game. This kind of thing is definitely becoming one of my favourite types of game. The levels were so much fun to play through and were all very distinct from each other. For some reason, I enjoyed playing this with a controller way more than on keyboard & mouse.

I should've expected David Szymanski to do something different with the game, but I was still blown away by how unique he made a lot of these levels. Some incredibly interesting art direction.

Bad



The core game mechanics are not that great. The movement control is somewhat off, the shooting doesn't feel strong, and the level design can get confusing.

To progress through the level you need to collect color-coded keys but they can be tricky to find. This mechanic is implemented in a way that doesn't make the game better but rather does the opposite. It's not very fun to wander through a cleared level for 10 minutes, searching every corner for a blue or red key, meanwhile, you have a yellow key and there is not a single yellow door in sight.

The enemy behavior is simplistic, all they do is run at you and attack, which is fine for the chainsaw dudes, but it would be nice to see some variety. The bosses are the same dummies but larger and with a health bar.

The loot placement sometimes doesn't make sense. For example, you can find an offensive buff in places where it expires before you see any enemies.

Good



The general atmosphere and aesthetics are great if you enjoy that type of art direction.

The environment is fairly interactive, you can flush stuff down the toilet, cook meat at bonfires, carry around various objects or throw them at enemies, etc. Some secret locations are hidden behind this kind of interaction. However, this is more of a gimmick than an actual feature that impacts the gameplay.

The way levels are connected thematically makes sense and kind of tells the story behind the grim state of the world.

Somehow, the camera movement didn't feel nauseous for me, even though it is pretty wobbly and there is that leaning animation when you look around.

Conclusion



The main reason to try this game is for its art style. The overall gameplay gets repetitive and bland after a while, and on top of that, the most important game mechanics could use some polishing and fine-tuning.

This game feels like it could be so much better, but it just doesn't reach the bar it sets for itself and ends up being a half-cooked everything rather than a well-done one thing. Not sure how it got 20k of overwhelmingly positive reviews, it's definitely not that impressive.

If you want to try it out get it on sale or in a bundle, not worth the full price imo.

Unpleasant tilt of the camera towards running, slow boring gameplay, large empty maps where you have to look for where to go, no impact felt in shooting, weak sounds of shots, unpleasant sound of receiving damage, atmosphere of a horror movie in the village.

I really wanted to like this! It feels great to play on the Steam Deck and it’s obviously a massive passion project paying homage to the classic boomer shooters of yesteryear.

But…I couldn’t get past the “boomer” part of this descriptor. So much of Dusk’s design language is rooted in how things used to be, which means - for someone like me who didn’t grow up with/worship those older titles - there’s not much to motivate me to keep going. Secrets are hidden so obscurely that I don’t understand how anyone finds them all without using a guide, or without spending hours scouring every texture in a map while spamming the interact button. Too often, levels will be based on the exact same formula of looking for a red key, then backtracking to open the red door which leads to the blue key, then backtracking to the blue door, etc. Exploring each map can be fun sometimes, but there are several samey-looking areas that make it very difficult to navigate without wandering in a random direction in hopes that you’ll regain your bearings. Also, I’m seeing several reviews saying the game gets tedious and repetitive in the later parts - did they not find it tedious and repetitive in the first episode?!

I actually do respect the fact that Dusk hard commits to being how fans of boomer shooters remember them being. But for me, someone who’s not in the target audience, it lacks a few too many modernities that the FPS genre has received in recent times. I’d still recommend it to those who are intrigued by it, but it ain’t for me.

If you're anything like me, you're going to find the start to be interesting, but a little slow. The gameplay may wear out pretty quickly. Stick with it, Episode 2 and 3 are amazing and worth building up to. Episode 1 is great too, but episode 2 and 3 are even more special.

Genuinely a beautifully made, simple, and surprisingly Lovecraftian game!

Today, I would like to write about the game Dusk, which is a retro FPS set in the town of Dusk. Honestly, this game feels like someone took all the conspiracy theories that exist and mixed them into one, and it works absolutely perfectly. The game has an indescribable atmosphere that pulls you in at every step. The graphics fit the atmosphere of the game beautifully, and the controls are also very smooth. I'm happy that I can do bunny hopping. The only thing that bothers me is the rather small number of weapons; plus, they all play quite similarly. Honestly, some of the achievements were a bit boring, but they were compensated by the beautifully crafted levels. The level The Escher Labs is one of the best levels I've ever played. The enemies were very fun and diverse, and overall, I really enjoyed playing through the game. I recommend it to anyone who likes the retro FPS genre.

-Fun weapons
-Lengthy Campaign with plenty of secrets and hidden levels
-Very good soundtrack
-Varied levels that get darker and more messed up
-Decent moments of horror
Cons:
-Bosses are hit or miss, some are fun some are just run in a circle till it dies.

Its very good. Idk why but the first episode I was kind of bored by when I initially played and actually enjoyed the other episodes so much more when i got to them. Going back and 100%ing them made me realise they weren't bad at all, just that i hadnt got into the flow of the game yet. I do much prefer the later episodes body and eldritch horror. the enemies called horrors are probably my favourite, they behave creepily, their sound design is amazing and they compliment the levels they are in very well. the ending was pretty good/mid i guess but thats standard for a classic boomer shooter

The Soap Pope



Hell is but a place in our minds, to cherish it, amongst the divine. Scorching dreams with fire and flame, without influenced shame. Bloody new becomes one, in three episodes, keen as the sun. What wrath has become thee, in many extras like Dusk HD? Plenty of fun and then some, movement shifting toward the maelstrom. Of viscera and vice, Pluto's heart delights, slice away the fear with dual sickle sights. Right, as you write, the obituary of many poisoned and unclean, and deliver them smoothly, as gloss covers the magazine.

The sands have shifted and spirits are tout, grab the super shotgun to take them all out.

A true authentic sequel to the first Quake…

Even though one of my friends gifted me DUSK quite a while ago, I was kinda of hesitant to play it because even though I am a big fan of boomer shooters, for me they were always associated with Doom Engine and Build Engine games – I mostly played stuff like Doom and Duke Nukem 3D in my childhood and barely touched the first full-fledged 3D games like Quake and Unreal, so the latter ones are not considered to be “that boomer” in my head, if that makes sense. Anyway, after going on a rampage of beating one boomer shooter after another a few weeks ago, I’ve now finally decided to give DUSK a chance and had tons of fun!

Graphics. Raw low-poly minimalistic 3D like in the late 90s games. Both stylish and practical. Enemies and pickups are easy to read, while each location has its own fairly unique atmosphere. I think the only minor complaint would be that weapons are too low-detailed (even Quake I guns were not that low-poly) but it was likely an intentional style choice, so I cannot really complain much here.

Story. It is… interesting. I did not expect much so I was pleasantly surprised to hear some actual voices lines (even though not from the protagonist) and learn the game’s lore. The first Quake was an interesting mix of industrial sci-fi and dark fantasy setting, and I think DUSK is certainly inspired by this approach. While it does not have any sci-fi elements, it gradually progresses from some western-ish setting to brutalist industrial to full-fledged dark fantasy. I think it is a much more authentic blend for an eerie fast-paced Quake’s original idea successor, than the general sci-fi alien shooter we got in Quake II.

Music and Sounds. Music is just a banger. Each level has its own track and while the game mostly keeps the style of mixing electronics, synths, and metal, all songs are different and unique in their own way. There are even fully ambient tracks for more horror-styled creepy levels and these are amazing too. Overall, the soundtrack is majestic and you will certainly remember a few songs and will likely relisten to them after beating the game. As for the sounds though, while each enemy does have a good and unique sound so you can understand what you are going to face in a moment, I felt that the guns somewhat lacked the impact with the shooting sounds. The gun animations are also pretty basic and while I, again, understand that it was an intentional style choice, I feel more work could be done for weapon impact.

Gameplay. Amazing, especially if you are a fan of Quake games. While the game is built on Unity and obviously does not have all the specifics of id Tech, so the movement is much easier to perform here, it is compensated by fast enemies with diverse attacks, which does require you to not only run around quickly but also shoot precisely and promptly swap to proper weapons simultaneously. So, even though you can easily learn strafe jumping and bunny hopping in DUSK, you will have to master mixing them with gunplay, otherwise standing in place is almost always death. Level design is great: not only the levels look unique, they also provide you with various combat scenarios and leave some room for freestyle with rocket jumps and 360 no scope backflip sniper rifle kills (and for exploration and secret hunting, of course).

Speaking about the enemies, as you have already probably understood, they are pretty diverse and unique with their attacks. There are also no true hitscan foes, which lets you avoid the damage even from the rifle and shotgun bearing ones, if you move quickly. On top of that, the game gradually introduces new variations and types with new levels and some of the enemies are unique and exclusive (or mostly exclusive) for their episode. As for the weapons, while there are no truly unique unorthodox ones here, all of them are useful for different situations even on the higher difficulties. Pistols become submachine guns with a haste powerup, one-barrel shotguns are good alternative for a mid-distance combat instead of the rifle, crossbow is great for killing rows of enemies or dangerous foes through the walls to avoid damage, sniper rifle is useful for long distances and buffy enemies in cramped spaces where you cannot really use rockets, and by the third episode (or in the special secrets in the first and the second) you get a special sword which can deflect enemy projectiles and one hit kill them, provided you have enough health and armor (which is called morale here). I think the only disappointment is that, just like in Quake II, rockets and grenades have ridiculously small area of damage, so you cannot just spam them to the feet of an incoming horde.

I played DUSK on Cero Miedo and beat it in around 10 hours. I don’t know why the game tries to warn you that this difficulty is not for the first playthrough (and why this message keeps popping up when I’ve already finished the game) because unless you finished the level or made an unfortunate quicksave with low health and ammo, this difficulty makes you master movement and aiming and utilize the design of each location for your advantage. As for the max difficulty – DUSKMARE – it is kind of lame in the sense that it does not provide any unique or ultimate challenge like Nightmare or Ultra-Nightmare in old and new Doom games respectively, and just makes all enemy damage instakill you. Sure, this difficulty does require mastery in movement and level knowledge but restarting the entire level at the end of it just because you were unfortunate to catch one bullet from the other side of the map is not a very joyful experience.
Apart from the difficulties, the game also provides optional challenges like Completionist, Par-time beater, and Pacifist for those who want more. The game also has a survival mode, which is interesting but only provides 3 relatively small maps and no leaderboard to compete. However, a much bigger disappointment for me personally is that even though DUSK was one of the first boomer shooters released in the new era, it did not gather a large fan-base and despite the game providing modding tools, in 6 years there were barely any levels and mods released for it, and it does not seem we are going to get DUSK II any time soon… So I guess, we can only wait for a Quake reboot or another indie developer releasing a tribute game to that legendary series.

Conclusion. DUSK is a great game which takes huge inspiration from Quake I yet possesses a lot of unique and creative features that make it memorable in its own way. If you are fan of boomer shooter and specifically Quake – this is a must buy! You will certainly have fun beating the main game and if it is not enough to satisfy your boomer needs – you can go for beating all challenges and sickle-starting all 3 episodes on DUSKMARE with no saves.

P.S. I am also seriously thinking about beating all the optional challenges and the entire game on max difficulty despite there being no achievements for it. And this only happens if I do really like the game and ready to grind it just for the sake of having fun grinding it for myself with no public award.

P.P.S. I have also just learnt that DUSK is made by the same developer who made the IRON LUNG horror game. What a small world we live in!

A lot of DUSK's novelty has disappeared with the recent invasion of "retro shooters." I feel that DUSK is different however. It doesn't need gimmicks like vertical movement or a big brand license to be good. It is an old-fashioned run-in-guns-blazing shooter, but one that improves on the old days instead of blindly copying them.

DUSK - When Retro Meets Ridiculous Fun

Ever wondered what would happen if Doom and Quake had a baby that was raised by a family of speed-addicted adrenaline junkies? Well, meet DUSK!

This game is like a love letter to 90s shooters, but instead of just copying homework, it adds its own crazy twists. Imagine running at mach speed while dual-wielding shotguns and occasionally slapping enemies with... a bar of soap. Yes, you read that right - soap is a weapon, and it's glorious.

What Makes It Awesome:
- Lightning-fast gameplay that makes Sonic look like a sleepy tortoise
- Weapons that feel so good to use, you'll be grinning like a maniac
- Killer soundtrack that makes your ears happy while you make bad guys sad
- Level design that'll have you saying "just one more area" until 3 AM
- Delightfully retro graphics that prove pixels can still be pretty

The story throws you into rural creepsville where everything's trying to kill you - from cultists to scarecrows with shotguns (because regular scarecrows weren't scary enough).

The best part? It doesn't take itself too seriously. One minute you're having an intense shootout, the next you're discovering you can spin your weapons like a deranged gunslinger at a disco party.

Bottom Line:
DUSK is what happens when old-school cool meets modern game design, and they decide to have a party. For the price of a fancy dinner, you get hours of face-paced, monster-blasting fun that'll make you remember why you fell in love with gaming in the first place.

Score: 9/10 - Would definitely spin weapons again

(Pro tip: If anyone asks why you're playing a game with "outdated" graphics, just show them how you can kill eldritch horrors with soap. That usually ends the conversation.)

I still can't believe to this day that David Szymanski, a man who until this point was known for incredibly short first-person experiential narrative horror titles, just decided one day to create one of the best fucking FPS games of all time and resurrect an entire genre of shooter. Like as a joke or something.

Another boomer shooter, passed at 100%...


When I first launched Dusk, I was immediately captivated by the 90s atmosphere, filled with nostalgia for classic first-person shooters. This indie game, developed by David Szymanski and released in 2018, offers players a unique blend of retro graphics, fiery mechanics, and engaging gameplay.

Graphically, Dusk features pixel art and simple textures that truly evoke classic games like Doom and Quake. However, despite its simplicity, the visual style is crafted with love, and the details of the surrounding world are impressive. The well-chosen color palette immerses players in a dark and mysterious world where every corner hides its secrets.
The sound design is also delightful: the sounds of gunfire, enemy screams, and background melodies create an atmosphere of tension and dynamism. The music is a mix of dark melodies and aggressive riffs, making each battle even more thrilling.

As for gameplay, Dusk offers a variety of levels with unique designs. The shooting system is intuitive but requires skill and quick reflexes. I enjoyed searching for different types of weapons, from classic shotguns to unique experimental guns. Each weapon feels different and has its strengths, allowing for experimentation with combat tactics.
However, Dusk is not just about shooting. The game also includes platforming and puzzle elements, adding variety to the experience. At times, I had to solve challenging tasks to progress, making the game more interesting.

In terms of the storyline, Dusk does not take center stage but rather focuses on gameplay; however, it is interesting enough to hold attention. Throughout the game, I learned about the world through the environment, details, and text lines that occasionally pop up. This creates a sense of mystery and encourages exploration of every corner to uncover the secrets hidden in the dark locations.

In the end, Dusk is a true gift for retro shooter enthusiasts. With dynamic gameplay, a magnificent atmosphere, and excellent sound design, this game skillfully combines nostalgia with modern gaming mechanics. Despite the lack of a complex plot, the game thrives on vibrant moments of combat and exploration.
I gladly rate Dusk 8.5/10. It is a must-play project for all shooter fans and those who want to immerse themselves in a world where old traditions meet innovative ideas.

THIS GAME IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS ULTRAKILL BUT. It did have minor flaws such as the first boss in E3M10 and E2M9 the first boss in both levels i think are bad bc the first one in E3M10 is just plain stupid almost seems like a joke the REAL final boss of dusk is fire but basic moves that are easy to dodge. The first boss of E2M9 is just a plain old copy of another boss.
E2M10 had a bad ending its way to basic i think it should have a more epic ending but its ok. EP 3 is my favorite EP out of the 3 it has alot of cool levels like E3M7 very cool concept same for E2M5. I LOVE THE FACt that you can fly with a crossbow fr the best cross bow i have seen in a game so far. To 100% the game is overall easy the only roadblock for 100% is true 100% and dont drop it and they just take sometime to get.

if you like DOOM and QUAKE you will love DUSK.
DUSK is a retro FPS game in the style of QUAKE and DOOM.
not only do you get the game, you get to have mods and an all new HD dlc for FREE.
you can also get the DUSK SDK to make maps to your heart contents.
DUSK is one of the best FPS games i've played next to ULTRAKILL (published both by Newblood)

This is absolutely one of my most favourite games. It perfectly encapsulates everything I love about Doom and Quake, as well as other similar shooters, possibly apart from the music which is still great its just really difficult to beat Doom music. However, in every other aspect I feel it's a great modernisation of the aforementioned Quake. I could glaze this game more, but I'll just leave it at-- very cool game! Would recommend!
