About this game
DUSK sends you against cultists, possessed militants and darker forces as you investigate what lies beneath the earth. Its first-person campaign is split into three episodes, with an arsenal that includes sickles, crossbows, rifles, shotguns and explosive weapons. You fight through the campaign using these different tools within a style inspired by 1990s shooters. For a different structure, Endless Survival replaces campaign episodes with successive waves of enemies. The Nintendo Switch edition includes a weapon-selection wheel, gyro aiming and HD rumble. These are console-specific controls and feedback features alongside the campaign and survival modes.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A fit for players who want an occult retro shooter with both campaign progression and wave survival.
The mix of melee weapons, guns and explosives may appeal to players who enjoy choosing different combat tools. Separating an episodic campaign from Endless Survival also offers a clear choice between progressing through authored episodes and concentrating on repeated enemy waves.
Strengths
- The varied arsenal may keep weapon choice central to how you approach combat.
- Campaign episodes and wave survival give different structures to the same combat focus.
Who it is for: Players interested in 1990s-inspired FPS design, occult enemies and switching between campaign and survival play.
Play notes: The verified UK Nintendo Switch listing specifies English only.
