I LOVE air control! IFM was great in 2016, shame you got it mid game, and it was outclassed by other major runes. It was necessary for the speedrun I did, it was broken in ways. You could climb/slide up mountains and slopes! Air control is the way
This man is becoming my favourite youtuber. Likes NiN, likes doom, recommend really fucking good games and has a calm voice and the quality content youtube needs.
Over the last two years I've spent over 40 hours playing through the campaign multiple times and as someone who has also finished Doom Eternal twice already I could not agree more with the title.
@@Morgetiud Not really. These are the types of special games that should be played once or twice a years. I can only imagine the 1000s of hours I put in Doom.
@Jay marlin 3 episodes, probably take you 2 hours each. Its worth it though, its one of the most fun games of the 2010's and is very re-playable. Its 6 hours, but 6 hours of high quality content (and at a good price).
I'm happy you brought up Unreal because I love messing around with that game's console commands, exec files and raw keybindings. I pretty much turned it into modern Doom. Sprint function, variable jump (holding down the spacebar makes you jump higher. Rapidly tapping space with the right timing can make you hover and it's broken) I turned the Stinger into a plasma rifle that blocks incoming shots, and so on. Dusk looks really cool! Actually might look at it.
Before DOOM Eternal, DUSK was my favorite game of all time. Now they're tied, DUSK is such a fantastic game on its own. With the added nostalgia of being heavily inspired by my favorite childhood games, Quake/Q2. It also has *the scariest* moment I've ever encountered in a video game in E2M2 *The unseen.* "Don't go into the ruins" once in the ruins "Don't trust your eyes" *HISSS* WTF? *damage* WTF WTF WTF?!?!?
Old school shooter from how I would classify it, is merely referring to shooters not limited by weapon limits, don’t give you boring regenerative health, let you run around like like a mad man without the need for sprint, and encourage you to play aggressively, relying more on your reflexes and skills than merely hiding behind cover. Every single one of my favorite FPSs fall into this category in one way or another. 007 Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, DOOM (2016), RAGE 2, 007 Nightfire, DOOM: Eternal, Hell even Metroid Prime encourages reflexes and strafing over hiding behind cover.
Dusk is amazing, and best yet is that it'll run on a potato quite happily with a decent framerate. My old Surface Pro 3 could handle it really well when I needed some FPS action while away from home.
Yeah and that potato is the switch because it just released on switch 2 days before Halloween 2021(that’s for anyone reading this in the future). I love dusk, I just finished episode 1. Highly recommend
Awesome job promoting this. I played it shortly after release, and its a modern masterpiece. Pays homage to the classic 90s FPS games while still standing on its own. The atmosphere, guns/enemies, music, and especially level design are top notch. As I got into ep2 and ep3, some of the levels were jaw dropping to me. Cannot recommend this game enough.
You made me a huge Newblood fan when you uploaded this and the only reason I'm not playing Dusk for the 30th time is because I wanna forget how great it is so I can rediscover it
Celestia bless your souls for pointing me in the right direction in FPS. UT2004 was my first massively overplayed FPS, than Doom 2016, than I suddenly realized "I want to feel what veteran gamers felt in the 90's". CS 1.6, Quake, Doom 1993 and Doom 64 followed. Now people have pointed me to the direction of Blood and Dusk.
I recently discovered your channel here and really enjoy your Doom reviews and gameplay with commentary. I'm old enough to remember when Space Invaders was a thing at the public arcade for a quarter per game. Today's FPS games still amaze me.
@@armondo4446 Oh yeah, it is a fantastic game. It just didn't 'click' with me. I will say though that the level design is top notch. Everything looks so absolutely gorgeous. I played through the game just to take a ton of screenshots to use as wallpapers.
great game, last time i played it i finished episode 1 on duskmare intruder, many deaths later it was satisfying to finish it. for those who don't know duskmare is the highest difficulty where everything 1 shots you, and intruder mode makes you start each level with only the sickles another thing that wasn't mentioned in the video is that the sickles can reflect enemy projectiles if you time your swings right which is just fun to do
Yeah, none of the weapon in the game are bad, everything has a purpose. Even the basic pistols have a purpose, they can kill low HP enemies pretty quickly, saving your stronger ammo for bigger threats. One of my favorite challenges is to play Erebus Reactor using nothing but sickles and environmental objects. Never been able to complete it, because killing cowgirls w/o a riveter is a pain. But it's really fun to do anyways.
This game is a great example of how I believe that horror should be used; primarily as an undertone that sits quietly in the background until the fighting stops and you realize how creepy the setting actually is or something spooky happens like the one teleporter in the lab level or the first encounter with the wendigos. It's like eating a cinnamon raisin bagel versus shoving a handful of raisins into your mouth.. You can always taste a bit of the raisins, and the occasional raisin you bite into is amplified by the lower amount of flavor in the rest of the bagel.
IDK if I’m the first one to find this, but there’s a little Easter egg in the second level. If you jump the last gate before it transitions to the third level, you will find a health cross with a label that says “you aren’t supposed to be here, go away.”
So the game is pretty cool but what really got me into the video was that old school "gameplay" at the end, pretty cool man. You reminded me when I used to search for RUclips compilations of COD mw2 kills with throwing knife.
6:07 - by the way, this game has prop jumping. You can stand on top of a prop and press 'jump' and 'use' repeatedly, so you will jump, lift it in the air and jump of it again.
Dusk holds a special place in my heart, it was the first game in the "doom-like" genre of games, and the level you showed gameplay of was the first level that I really stuggled in. I came up with strategies, and found a bit of tech, like you can jump off of the fire spewing pillar, bunny hopping, and you can jump over the wall to go to the main facility. I love Dusk and can reccomend it, I cant think of anything more to say about it, I just love it so much
Hi new to your channel but have been watching all your stuff. I really appreciate your straight-forward style. So much content on RUclips emphasizes style over substance, that I actually tend to skip to the middle of a lot of videos just to see what the actual point of the whole thing is. Your videos don’t waste the viewer’s time and every word and second matter. Even when I don’t totally agree with you (like say with God or War 4, I love all the original games but I also really enjoyed what the new game was going for) your conciseness is a breath of fresh and if we applied a value per second metric, your channel would have the “best bang for your buck” rating.
It's amazing how calm and soothing this dudes voice is during the gameplay near the end. Everything looks super intense and his voice doesn't lose composure. Nice job man, consider doing a audiobook!
Loved how the review left me wanting more, then you unexpectedly jumped into one of your favorite levels to give us an actual taste of the gameplay, atmosphere etc. Probably the coolest review format I've ever seen, and never seen.
I'm so glad that I found this channel to expand my fps horizons during the Covid Quarantine. Great Content. I'm not so glad that I found this channel right before my final exams.
Playing Dusk is a good way to familiarise yourself with the play style that is very much necessary in Doom Eternal. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed DE as much if I haven't learnt all those skills from playing Dusk. I would also argue that Dusk handles weapon switching and the "use all of your tools" philosophy a lot better and a lot more organically than DE does, which unlike Dusk forces you to play that way by putting absurd ammo restrictions.
@@BosSupes For those new to boomer shooters you can learn and practice a lot of mobility basics and weapon switching. I do agree that DE is sometimes too complex
This video was really good, but I gotta say Civvie 11 really got me into these older style games a while ago. His series on shadow warriors, blood, dusk, and new doom are some of the best videos I have ever seen on youtube. If you haven't seen them, I recommend giving him a few hours of your time.
I bought Dusk when it first released and played through episode 1, but couldn't get more than 2 levels into episode 2 because I was so bad at it. Just a few weeks ago, having played retro-style FPS games fairly regularly for the past year, I decided to give Dusk another try, and this time I was able to complete the game on the medium difficulty. And I have to say, it's honestly one of the best FPSs I've ever played. It just feels good to play on a fundamental level; I often found myself strafe-jumping in circles around rooms after I'd cleared them out just because even the basic act of moving from one place to another in this game is incredibly fun. Not to mention, the game looks absolutely beautiful, especially with limited colour palette and 4x pixelation enabled.
I hope that if they work on a Dusk sequel, they add some crazier weapons in the mix. Many 90's games had the usual roster of pistol shotguns, rifles/machine guns, rocket launchers, but the highest tier weapons were reserved for some cool weapons, like the plasma rifle and BFG from Doom; the thunderbolt, hyperblaster and rail gun from Quake 1 and 2; the Gauss Gun (which acts like Dusk's Crossbow) and Gluon Cannon from Half-Like... weapons that had limited ammo but could tear a new one for higher tier enemies and bosses. Otherwise, the game is indeed amazing, can't recommend it enough. It also feature tons of secrets and every episode has one secret level. For these secrets you have to remember that you can pickup objects and break grates (which I sometimes forget, given the old school feel of the game)...
Sold. What really sells it to me is lack of some modern elements like open arenas, bullet sponge enemies, enemies coughing with powerups and well, everything about Doom 2016 that makes me play Brutal Doom instead. It really looks oldschool and it's in a good way.
Clarification: DUSK's "bunny hopping" does not involve turning. If you jump while strafing in either direction, you gain speed. It's simple as that. Also the speed vector is not normalized so you go 41% faster when moving diagonally, like in Doom.
great analysis. i think you sold me on the game. i've been playing their other shooter AMID EVIl and it's great. it feels less quake/ blood and more serious sam/ hexen but that's not a complaint at all. really open, complex levels with tons of variety, interesting magic weapons and a fun mechanic where you can power up your weapons to do absurd things for a brief time (ricochet projectiles off walls, turn enemies into water, throw suns)
I'm so glad to see late 90s and early 00s gaming aesthetics return. Something about that graphical style is super evocative. The graphics give you just enough info, leaving your imagination to fill in the rest. I vastly prefer it to photorealistic graphics.
Dusk is more quake inspired than doom inspired. Also if you want a game like Doom Eternal just play Ultrakill, it has the weapon chaining and dashes with a lot of its own style, or dread templar for more of a mix between doom and quake.
@@jmachero5852 its not in early access because its a cash-grab like many early access games, the only reason it isn't finished is because the last few levels haven't been released just play it, you won't regret it
Hotdamn, just got this on my switch and sweet mother of god D: When I finish a level and says how much time I spent on it, FUCK hahaha, takes me around 30 min each, because I'm trying to find each secret and it's beautiful. I don't know what it's about, but having the chance to find random ammo, health and weapons around while platforming Half Life style, it's awesome. Plus, my first shooter in this style was Doom 2016 (And I love it!) So I don't even have the nostalgia for a retro style FPS; I'm not even an FPS fan for crying out loud hahahaha Well, sir, you've got yourself a fan :D After calling Atreus a PUÑETAS and now this awesome recomendation, I cannot articulate how grateful I am :) Planning on getting Blood too
- Fluid gameplay - Satisfying weapons, especially super shotgun - Near perfect level design (say bye bye to anoying backtracking) - Just good oldschool shooter - Andrew Hulshult as composer, which is recommendation by itself Worth every buck
It's also worth noting that the game has an SDK (that's still in beta right now iirc) that means you will have plenty of community-generated content for years to come as well as the tools to create your own! My main criticism of the modern DOOM games is that they break the id tradition of moddability, but the devs say they're working on bringing the engine up to par with the moddability level of previous iterations, then again, many studios have claimed they have mod support "in the works" and then never actually release or say anything after that, so I'm not holding my breath. It's honestly sad how the industry at large has moved away from mods, as they were how some of the biggest names in gaming today got their start.
I'd recommend grabbing the bundle that includes this and Amid Evil, which is very similar to Dusk but leans hard into being a throwback to Heretic and Hexen.

He is completely wrong, Dusk is one of the best shooters of all time, i think it strongly competes with Doom Eternal
I honestly don't know why the in-flight mobility rune isn't just how it controls by default.
I agree. They should make it a suit upgrade or crystal rather than making you waste a rune on it, since it's practically a default for everyone.
Yeah that part annoyed me so much there's 9 runes and 3 active and one is taken up by a rune that should be standard.
You'd think for a sequel they'd just add that in by default. Waste of a rune slot use
I LOVE air control! IFM was great in 2016, shame you got it mid game, and it was outclassed by other major runes. It was necessary for the speedrun I did, it was broken in ways. You could climb/slide up mountains and slopes!

Me: a talking mayonnaise? So is life in the zone
After Dusk, New Blood made AMID EVIL which also inspired by 90s shooter and it is a MUST play for any old school FPS fan
I bought Dusk when it first released and played through episode 1, but couldn't get more than 2 levels into episode 2 because I was so bad at it.
Just a few weeks ago, having played retro-style FPS games fairly regularly for the past year, I decided to give Dusk another try, and this time I was able to complete the game on the medium difficulty. And I have to say, it's honestly one of the best FPSs I've ever played. It just feels good to play on a fundamental level; I often found myself strafe-jumping in circles around rooms after I'd cleared them out just because even the basic act of moving from one place to another in this game is incredibly fun.
Not to mention, the game looks absolutely beautiful, especially with limited colour palette and 4x pixelation enabled.
I hope that if they work on a Dusk sequel, they add some crazier weapons in the mix. Many 90's games had the usual roster of pistol shotguns, rifles/machine guns, rocket launchers, but the highest tier weapons were reserved for some cool weapons, like the plasma rifle and BFG from Doom; the thunderbolt, hyperblaster and rail gun from Quake 1 and 2; the Gauss Gun (which acts like Dusk's Crossbow) and Gluon Cannon from Half-Like... weapons that had limited ammo but could tear a new one for higher tier enemies and bosses.
Otherwise, the game is indeed amazing, can't recommend it enough. It also feature tons of secrets and every episode has one secret level. For these secrets you have to remember that you can pickup objects and break grates (which I sometimes forget, given the old school feel of the game)...
Sold. What really sells it to me is lack of some modern elements like open arenas, bullet sponge enemies, enemies coughing with powerups and well, everything about Doom 2016 that makes me play Brutal Doom instead. It really looks oldschool and it's in a good way.
As someone who grew up with the original Unreal and loves it to death but has never played Unreal Tournament, I'm just happy I was included at all
The old school hooter is coming back examples dusk doom 2016, doom eternal, wolfinstien reboot, serious Sam 4, ultra kill, and quake champions.
This vid helped me find your channel and I really like it, keep up the good work on those shooter analysis-style videos! :)
Yeah man, been playing Dusk for a while now - fantastic game!
I love the visual aesthetic of those early levels. It’s like a midwestern American version of the village from Resident Evil 4
I'm glad games like Dusk, Ion Fury, Amid Evil and the original Doom/Quake games are back undrr the spotlight of mainstream gaming
UTM: the crossbow is the best wepon
Soap: am i a joke to you
Glad to see somebody mention the Thief series. Such a masterpiece franchise imo by far my favorite
Clarification: DUSK's "bunny hopping" does not involve turning. If you jump while strafing in either direction, you gain speed. It's simple as that.
Also the speed vector is not normalized so you go 41% faster when moving diagonally, like in Doom.
I played this game. What I love about it is that it leaves behind the old school elements that didn’t work
great analysis. i think you sold me on the game.
i've been playing their other shooter AMID EVIl and it's great. it feels less quake/ blood and more serious sam/ hexen but that's not a complaint at all. really open, complex levels with tons of variety, interesting magic weapons and a fun mechanic where you can power up your weapons to do absurd things for a brief time (ricochet projectiles off walls, turn enemies into water, throw suns)
Correction: If you like "Quake" play Dusk.
I'd say If you like old school shooter in general, you will ilke Dusk
I'm so glad to see late 90s and early 00s gaming aesthetics return. Something about that graphical style is super evocative. The graphics give you just enough info, leaving your imagination to fill in the rest. I vastly prefer it to photorealistic graphics.
Dusk is more quake inspired than doom inspired. Also if you want a game like Doom Eternal just play Ultrakill, it has the weapon chaining and dashes with a lot of its own style, or dread templar for more of a mix between doom and quake.
But that game is only released as Early Access.
@@jmachero5852 its not in early access because its a cash-grab like many early access games, the only reason it isn't finished is because the last few levels haven't been released
just play it, you won't regret it
the enemy on the thumb looks like the stay out of the house villain
your narration sounds like if my grandpa picked up this game "oh yeah, ops! yeah alright! okay got em! yep! whoa! okay!"
Hotdamn, just got this on my switch and sweet mother of god D:
When I finish a level and says how much time I spent on it, FUCK hahaha, takes me around 30 min each, because I'm trying to find each secret and it's beautiful.
I don't know what it's about, but having the chance to find random ammo, health and weapons around while platforming Half Life style, it's awesome.
Plus, my first shooter in this style was Doom 2016 (And I love it!) So I don't even have the nostalgia for a retro style FPS; I'm not even an FPS fan for crying out loud hahahaha
Well, sir, you've got yourself a fan :D
After calling Atreus a PUÑETAS and now this awesome recomendation, I cannot articulate how grateful I am :)
Planning on getting Blood too
DUSK, IS, AMAZING. The music. The movement, I MEAN U CAN DO BACKFLIPS, TRY IT, just jump and fling ur mouse up or down.
One of my favorite things in the game is rivet jumping and crossbow jumping
Dusk is awesome
A little like 'Strafe' in that 90s style
- Fluid gameplay
- Satisfying weapons, especially super shotgun
- Near perfect level design (say bye bye to anoying backtracking)
- Just good oldschool shooter
- Andrew Hulshult as composer, which is recommendation by itself
Worth every buck
”Health isn't too bad”
Me, a Brutal doom realism player *Heavy breathing* ”How am I alive...”
Remember to throw a coin Andrew Hulshult's way for the banging soundtrack.
Bunny hopping is not strafe jumping tho
If you like Dusk, Amid Evil is also a great classic-styled shooter. More magical and medieval themed, but extremely satisfying all the same.
Thanks for the recommendation!
It's also worth noting that the game has an SDK (that's still in beta right now iirc) that means you will have plenty of community-generated content for years to come as well as the tools to create your own! My main criticism of the modern DOOM games is that they break the id tradition of moddability, but the devs say they're working on bringing the engine up to par with the moddability level of previous iterations, then again, many studios have claimed they have mod support "in the works" and then never actually release or say anything after that, so I'm not holding my breath. It's honestly sad how the industry at large has moved away from mods, as they were how some of the biggest names in gaming today got their start.
I'd recommend grabbing the bundle that includes this and Amid Evil, which is very similar to Dusk but leans hard into being a throwback to Heretic and Hexen.
THANK YOU
I've seen this game before somewhere but i didnt know the name
Now i know and i'm about to play the shit out of this
