    Pillars of Dust reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously. The developers certainly don't, which is to the game's credit. If you can accept the style of storytelling and the snappy, simple gameplay and presentation at face value, you're guaranteed a good time. Retreaux Games has played it safe here, but they've also pushed boundaries in small, subtle ways to establish a foothold. They're in a good place with their first RPG, so the future bodes well for them and gamers alike.

    For those looking for a retro RPG to indulge in without the numerous flaws of unnecessary grinding and unbalanced difficulty of the older games, Pillars of Dust offers a fast-paced, well-balanced option. There’s enough humour in the writing to keep it engaging. Although the gameplay gets repetitive and the overall story never takes itself seriously, the game is short enough that it does not overstay its welcome, lasting under ten hours even for the most casual players. It may not be a masterpiece, but it’s not an unpleasant stroll for those who want to take a brisk walk down the retro path.
