This platforming action game that wears its inspirations on its sleeve while creating innovative gameplay scenarios and mechanics. Developed and published by Okba Amrate, this game boasts incredible art and smooth gameplay. If this sounds like a game you can get lost in, here is everything you need to know about Pre Dusk.

Inspired Presentation

Pre Dusk is presented to players with a unique art style full of hand-drawn assets that bring the world to life. Despite its 2D nature, the game is able to create locations with so many complex platforming opportunities.

Pre Dusk’s world can be described as a combination of Limbo’s black and white side-scrolling gameplay with Hollow Knight’s color and platforming mixed in. Ultimately, this results in a visually diverse game that is incredibly fun to play.

Intense Combat and Movement

The primary focus of Pre Dusk is the exploration that is at the center of the game. As you progress through the story, you will unlock a number of extra abilities for Ray, including the ability to glide, a double jump, and a dash move that doubles as a dodge in combat. Mastering these moves and combining them successfully will be the key to reaching hidden areas throughout the world.

Pre-Dusk’s combat is another pillar of the gameplay. Intense yet calculated, tactical yet accessible, combat in this game is easy to learn but difficult to master. You’ll gain access to a number of awesome weapons that each have their own movesets and use cases. Switching weapons means a drastic alteration to your combat style, so trying each weapon enough to become familiar with it will be key to being able to improvise during difficult battles.

Terrifying Creatures

Mastering combat is the only way to overcome the monstrous creatures you will cross paths with throughout the game. And you won’t just be facing the same monsters over and over, each of Pre Dusks' several biomes or environments will have their own unique dangers to face that will test your skills.
