    Dustwind: Resistance is a mechanically solid video game that understands everything that made classics in its genre engaging. Battles are tough, even on normal, and the developers really want players to both specialize their characters and find the right combination of weapons and tactics to quickly deal with different threats. The difficulty spikes that pop up regularly, especially in defensive missions, represent the title's biggest issue. The game also struggles to deliver an engaging narrative, and the protagonists sometimes feel more like a collection of abilities and weapons than humans dealing with incredibly traumatic events. Dustwind: Resistance will be a fun tactical experience for anyone who likes the core concepts but there are moments when playing it can be frustrating.

    Dustwind: Resistance is, unfortunately, a collection of issues and flaws that have seriously impacted the entire gaming experience. The lack of depth in the characters and, above all, the extremely wooden gameplay, compounded by unconvincing AI, failed to win us over. If you particularly love the genre and would like to try it, you may still enjoy it, but we would suggest opting for other, more valid alternatives.
