    Welcome back to The Game Collection! I am SuperDerek and it’s been some time since I explored an indie RPG, so how about we take a look at an 8-bit style game with a focus on what really matters: The number of puns they can stuff into a single sentence! I am SuperDerek and this is Pillars of Dust!
    Pillars of Dust is an RPG by Retreaux Games and published by Something Classic. This game was developed by an incredibly small team. It was officially released on Steam in March of 2020. The game is overall a bite-sized experience clocking in under 20 hours, and is a perfect as a palette cleanser if you’re coming off a series of more serious titles.
    The game follows two protagonists, Gregg, a poor blacksmith who grew up in a slum, and Carlton, the prince of a kingdom. After finishing each chapter you can choose which protagonist’s chapter to play through next, but by the end of the game you will need to play all chapters of each protagonist. Each story starts simply enough, an old man sets our protagonists off into the world to discover their destiny, and the truth about their histories.

    I'm surprised no one mentioned Mother/Earthbound as an influence for this game. This game totally gives me Mother/Earthbound vibes. I may have to pick this one up!

    • @Jersa7
      @Jersa7 3 года назад

      @treeghettox I don't mean it has traits inherent to Earthbound specifically; the enemy designs and the way you can run into them out on the field, the battles, and maybe even the map designs remind me of Earthbound.

    Hey Super Derek. Do you have any games that don’t make the game collection other then Quest 64 or Grandstream Saga? Is it just those two you really didn’t care for?

    • @SuperDerek
      @SuperDerek  3 года назад +1

      Others include Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories and Persona 3's The Answer, these were basically the only games that I personally couldn't really find any redeeming qualities in. Generally I don't seek out games that are really awful, but I've got some others in mind that I plan to tear into sooner or later. :)
