Dustborn
Dustborn is a story-driven, single-player action-adventure game that explores the themes of hope, love, friendship, robots, and the power of words.
You play as Pax, a protagonist with various nicknames such as an exile, a con artist, and an “anomaly,” as you progress through the story using your ability to use words as a weapon. Seeking a new life and escape, Pax is asked to transport an important cargo across the Justice-controlled American Republic from Pacifica to Nova Scotia. It's the perfect reason to go on a road trip.
So, pack your bags, gather your friends with special abilities, and get ready to travel across the country!
Climb aboard a robot-driven sightseeing bus and explore the beautiful neo-Western landscape of America, a country with a different history than we know today. Along the way, you'll stop at various places to make friends, build relationships, complete missions, and overcome many challenges. However, the person whose luggage was stolen will naturally block your path to get it back, and the authoritarian Justice is always chasing you. You should always carry a baseball bat!
(By the way, you'll be traveling in secret as part of a punk rock band, so you'll also need to hone your playing skills before your next gig.)
There is salvation at the end of the journey, but to get there you will have to traverse an entire continent.
■ power of words
Words have “power”. It is “real power” that you can see and feel. Use shouts to fight, and use Vox to manipulate people during conversations to get you out of sticky situations. Create new words and use them as weapons. It's not just your enemies, but sometimes your friends may be your opponents as well.
■ A road trip across a divided continent
On your way across America, which has lived a different history, you will stop at places that symbolize the country, accept unexpected requests, meet unique people, meet new friends, and escape from pursuers (or You will have to fight). Travel through the beautiful scenery along the highway in a colorful graphic novel-like art style that recreates beautiful 2D illustrations in 3D.
■ Various characters
Your companions are new families you meet on your travels. Collect, unite, and rely on a group of unique misfits. They are all charming characters with mysterious powers, heart-touching backstories, and diverse personalities that sometimes conflict with each other. Conversations that change based on your choices build relationships and change how your peers feel about themselves and others.
■ Gameplay as varied as the scenery
Explore all over the place, enjoy conversations with the people you meet, overcome hardships with your friends, create new shouts and voxes, and play with your band. Throwing Molotov cocktails from a motorcycle, swinging a baseball bat and crashing a helicopter… a variety of experiences await you. This is a common “everyday scene” in this world.
