Duskpunk Review - Jump Dash Roll Duskpunk is a gritty, grimy, and gloomy game that makes up for its rote gameplay with a compellingly dismal narrative and an oppressively bleak atmosphere.

Thank you @jumpdashroll.bsky.social for your Duskpunk review!

Duskpunk "excels at showcasing a world gone wrong that doesnโ€™t feel all that different from [ours], filled with interesting characters, and will make you want to take a shower after completing it."

Duskpunk is a revolutionary inspiration worth playing Duskpunk is deeply interested in the solidarity that arises from disparate people and the strength that comes from uniting them.

If you havenโ€™t played Duskpunk yet, you need to. @jamespatton.bsky.social made a hopeful, revolutionary game that was a balm for my weary soul.

I cannot recommend it enough

Thanks Sรฉamus!

Fallen London was a big inspiration, I think that game's in my bones now.

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

@jamespatton.bsky.social DuskPunk is magnificent! I've been at it ever since #AdvX25 and I'm only sad to have reached the end. I hope DLC of some kind emerges, as I kinda want to play this in perpituity.
An extremely satisfying and engaging game, and I look forward to discovering its other routes!

An absolutely lovely Duskpunk writeup, really engaged with its focus on power, violence, exploitation and collective hope.

For context, a 9/10 from GamingBible means:

"These are the games that don't just get into our head and our hearts, but our blood and guts, too... the ones we'll be talking about as essential decades from now. We're talking Breath of the Wild and The Last of Us, Final Fantasy VII and Chrono Trigger"
