The Real Review

Duskfade is a colorful adventure that most people are really enjoying, with its beautiful art and engaging combat standing out. The gameplay loop of battling your memories in a "dizzying dance" is praised as fun and fluid, though the difficulty is divisive, seen as either a satisfying challenge or unfairly punishing. Its biggest problem is performance, with consistent complaints about crashes and frame drops on consoles, especially the Switch 2 and Xbox, while the PC version also gets a lot of flak. It's a solid game from Weird Beluga Studio, but its technical issues hold it back from being great.
