It's not exactly starting things off on the right foot, to say the least. There's not even an intro cinematic or anything you just start, see your gunslinger emerge from a cloning chamber and get straight to killing robots. Set in a futuristic version of the Wild West, Dust & Neon sees you playing as a deceased cowboy reanimated by a mad scientist in order to defeat a robot army, and that one sentence is all that you'll be getting in terms of plot. Unfortunately, I was so dazzled at the time that I forgot to ask one important question: "will this experience that was fun for about fifteen minutes be fun for multiple hours?" And the answer to that question is.well, I direct you to the use of "unfortunately" back there. As I stated then, it wasn't the most original title, being a twin-stick shooter with roguelike elements, but it had more than enough charm in the demo presented to completely win me over, delivering an experience that was just pure fun. In the end, I went with Dust & Neon from developer David Marquardt Studios. When it came to sharing my opinions about the best games at PAX West last year, I knew I had to choose at least one from publisher Rogue Games' stacked lineup.
