Tidal waves will threaten to wash away your entire civilization.
Volcanoes will start erupting, threatening to spew lava all over your village. In the beginning, you can succeed simply by shifting the land around, but soon your villagers will have greater challenges set upon them than simply crossing a small river. These are the kind of decisions you can make in From Dust, and they only get more complex from there. They walk through the now dry riverbed, and your new river delivers water to another village where water is seriously needed. Finally, you decide to give up, and just reroute the river out of your villagers' path. Unfortunately, rocks are a bit to treacherous for your villagers to cross. So maybe you'll want to build it out of rocks to be more stable, and to have more holes for the water to flow through.
Of course, this also dams the river, and the sheer force of the water will eventually smash away your dirt bridge. You can drag mounds of dirt into the river to create a landmass that will allow your villagers to cross over it. Say you need to build a bridge over a running river. Instead, you shape the land around them, and by creatively molding the very earth itself, you will slowly find ways to influence your growing tribal cult. You have no direct control over your villagers. The only point to From Dust is to protect a burgeoning tribal village from the elements by using the elements themselves. If you ever wanted to slaughter a whole village with a volcano, or in this case save a village from a volcano with another volcano, then From Dust is the game for you.įrom Dust's big attraction is its world-generation engine. I call it the grand return of the god game, and the grand arrival of the genre on next generation platforms. Others call it an homage to games like Black and White. Some call it the spiritual successor to populous.
From Dust is a new game coming our way from Eric Chahi, maker of Another World.
