Aurora Dusk Demo

Aurora Dusk is a 2D game made by a single developer that combines a number of genres including RPG, sandbox, and strategy.

When we hear that a game is a combination of genres, we tend to dismiss that title. It often happens for a game that mixes various gameplay feature not to excel at anything. It could be that it’s neither a good RPG or a good strategy. There are of course exceptions and many titles manage to pull this off. I’m happy to say that Aurora Dusk is one of them and, for some strange reason, it all works really well together.

To top it off, the game is made by a single guy, which is just impressive. Aurora Dusk is huge in scope, and there are a lot of things that users can do when playing it. To be fair, the game has just entered Early Access, which means that it’s going to be under development for quite a while. Users shouldn’t expect for Aurora Dusk Demo to gave the quality of a finished game.

The players get to create their own character when the game starts, and they can choose from a wide variety or archetypes, which can also give individual bonuses. It’s up to the players to decide if they want to start the adventure with a hefty advantage, or if they want a more vanilla set up.

The character is controlled with the mouse, and everything is done from a very simple and clear interface. You want to build something, you just click on the menu and choose that item. You don’t have to worry about placement, and, at least for now, it’s fixed.

This takes us to the graphics department, which is not great. If you don’t care about graphics, then you’ll find that Aurora Dusk is a simple and straightforward game that’s about resource collecting, more than anything else.

Everything that you do in the world will consume some resource, even if you’re just chopping down trees. Since the game is still under development, things might change in the future, so we’re withholding judgment until it’s final. The demo is a good tool for users to see if they like what Aurora Dusk is offering.
