After the disappointment that was Replaced, the world could use another stylish cyberpunk pixel art PC game to drool over. Sky Dust, an upcoming Metroidvania Soulslike, is more than ready to heed that call.
In this futuristic version of Brazil, the country is being poisoned by the moon and by something ominously called digital decay. You play a violent mercenary who wields an energy sword, hunting down targets in a dilapidated neon city. The gameplay appears to be one part exploration and two parts action. In the trailer, you see the protagonist dodging and parrying machines, augmented city slickers, and gangs of goons. In less than a minute, the footage teases stealth executions, finishing moves, and fatigue-based mechanics.
Here’s the game’s official description on Steam:
