A game created by Dawid Szymanski, an indie developer, in collaboration with New Blood Interactive. The game represents the action genre and was inspired by the classic games that came out in the 90s. The plot in DUSK is only an excuse for flashy and brutal gameplay, and during the game we have to face hordes of enemies with supernatural abilities.
DUSK, available on PC Windows, is a creation of an indie developer – Dawid Szymanski and was released by New Blood Interactive. The developer took inspirations from classic games from 1990s' such as the first Quake, Hexen or Redneck Rampage. Players have to face not only mysterious cultists but also dark forces that are out of this world. However, the plot is only an excuse for effective and brutal gameplay.
DUSK is a shooter where the action is presented from first person perspective. During the singleplayer campaign, divided into episodes, we face hordes of enemies with supernatural powers. We have access to various weapons such as pistols, machine guns or grenade launchers but we can also use sickles and crossbows. The levels are diverse: we can choose from a modern city infrastructure, churches to dark undergrounds. During the game we face diverse enemies – besides well-equipped soldiers we can also fight against crazy and hooded cultists. It should also be mentioned that fights are very brutal.
Besides the campaign we can also play a competitive multiplayer (arena for two players) and Endless Survival Mode in which we have to face subsequent hordes of enemies.
The graphics in DUSK, available on PC Windows, refers to the games from 1990s'. Because of that the game doesn't look very impressive although it can evoke a sense of nostalgia. The game's soundtrack was created by Andrew Hulshult – the author of soundtracks for Brutal DOOM and Rise of the Triad.

Players prefer to shoot in open-ended worlds, but they used to traverse complex mazes full of secrets. Doom-like games have greatly evolved, but as it turns out, new shooters inspired by Quake, Hexen or Duke Nukem 3D are still being created.
Unity's retreat from most of the controversial changes to the engine's terms of use has been welcomed by game developers. However, many of them stress that they have lost trust in the company.

PC Gamer: 89 / 100 by Ian Birnbaum
A obsessively tuned, finely crafted shooter that more than recreates the speed and pure joy of '90s classics.
COGconnected: 80 / 100 by Austin Fern
Dusk is a fantastic game. I think it loses a little bit by being on the Switch as controlling such a fast character with a controller just doesn’t feel as good as it does with mouse and keyboard. Combine that with a weapon wheel that doesn’t slow time, and you can have some chaotic moments that come from annoyance as you struggle to get the weapon you want while bunny-hopping around. Still, the atmosphere, level design, and pure frenetic gameplay are more than enough to make up for these minor drawbacks. Dusk on Switch is a horrifically good time, and being able to take it on the go is worth a few compromises.
