The easiest way to describe the look and feel of Dust would be to imagine the painted style of Bastion as a 2D side-scroller with smoother, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai-esque combat, a leveling and crafting system mixed in for added flavor, and a dash of Metroid-vania exploration to top things off. Does the little-2D-action-RPG-that-could have what it takes to send off this year’s arcade event in a blaze of sword-swinging, hand-painted glory? Read on to find out. Anchoring this relay of downloadable goodness is Dean Dodrill's Dust: An Elysian Tail. We've seen dead lighting, whatever that is.

As summer comes to an end, so to does Xbox Live's Summer of Arcade promotion.
