Heaven Dust Review (Goldrust)
Somehow this game missed my radar the last 4 years! This game is basically a Resident Evil clone in top down format, with cute polygon character models. Don't be fool however by the graphics, this is a legit serious full survival horror experience. It took me around 4 hours without a guide to beat the game, and another hour to cleanup and obtain the other 3 endings.
+ Ingenious level design
+ Complex puzzles that would rival a full Resident Evil game
+ The controls work perfectly with the mouse and keyboard. Running around shooting zombies felt very fluid and using items is quick and easy. Very friendly quick menu interface.
+ 4 Endings, New Game Plus, secret bonus weapons and outfit, tons of stuff to unlock and uncover
+ Well polished game, difficulty is perfectly balanced, lots of achievements for the achievement hunters
+ The howling sound effect when you go outside is straight from the original Resident Evil, icing on the cake!
+ The save room music is beautiful
- One or Two puzzles are a bit obtuse and barely make sense
- Lots of backtracking and running in circles on your first playthrough
- A few times a zombie would be behind a wall and the camera angle would not allow you to see the zombie
Excellent game overall !
Very highly recommended to people that want a light experience similar to the original first Resident Evil game.
Overall 8.5 / 10
