Features & Capabilities

Dust: An Elysian Tail is a beautifully hand-painted action RPG set in a vast open world. You play as Dust, wielding the Blade of Ahrah alongside his guardian Fidget, as you uncover a rich story filled with unique characters, quests, and ancient secrets. The combat is easy to learn but rewards experimentation, with four difficulty settings and highly customizable inputs, including full MFi gamepad support.

Key features include fully voiced dialogue, an expansive, nonlinear adventure, and an award-winning musical score by HyperDuck SoundWorks. The game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese, and accommodates devices with RAM requirements (1GB recommended; 512MB RAM devices now supported). Note: there are known issues with cutscenes on iOS 14.1 being investigated.

Look I like giving games a shot and I can tell this game is good but I can also see it needs an optimization update. I find the art style great and fidget is neat but without an update the game runs with 3 fps when in combat. Im sad I got it without knowing its laggy combat. I already like the game, but I’d probably get it on steam instead. I just want to see it at its full potential. So please update this game. [Update.] this game after reopening it did begin to work, but I have noticed that it takes 7 to 8 minutes before it starts having a frame drop. I still highly recommend this game though do you be cautious there are safe points required to save your prop for us and it might require you closing and reopening the app every eight minutes to continue playing as long as you reached a checkpoint you are a ok
