More than two years ago, we reviewed Hitbox Team's Dustforce for PC, addressing its creative level design and challenging controls. Now, it's jumping onto consoles with a PS3 and Vita release already out, and an Xbox 360 version on its way.
When Dustforce released on Xbox 360, PS3, and Vita, it was missing a little something from their PC counterpart: the level editor. But as promised, Capcom and Hitbox Team have compiled the best custom maps from the PC game into free downloadable DLC that's available for pickup right now.
Having already removed tough stains from PC, PS3, and Vita, Dustforce is now moving on to clean up on Xbox 360.
Dustforce is starting to hit consoles today, as the PS3 and Vita versions should be available with the PlayStation Store update. An Xbox 360 version is set to follow soon.
The console version of Team Hitbox's fast-sweeping platformer Dustforce will launch in January 2014 for $9.99, publisher Capcom has announced. The plucky janitors are bringing their wall-running, air-dashing, and dust-busting powers to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Vita.
Dustforce has been cleaning up on PC and Mac since early 2012 and Capcom will now bring Hitbox Team's tough-as-nails platformer to Xbox 360, PS3, and Vita.
As someone who largely skipped consoles growing up, the countless modern indie platformers inspired by the likes of Super Mario Bros. and Metroid hold no nostalgic draw for me. But hearing Dustforce developer Team Hitbox cite Quake 3's dizzying potential for "majestic moves" as an influence upon its new platformer Spire, now that makes my nostalgia gland fizz all right.
The finalists for the 14th annual Independent Games Festival's Main Competition have been announced, highlighting some of the greatest indie games of 2012.
Delightful dirt-destroying "acrobatic puzzle platformer" Dustforce has reappeared on the radar with new screenshots, a trailer, and word that it'll be released via Steam later this year.
