Quoted from From Dust Reviews:
Check out these quotes from From Dust reviews & previews
"A sandbox game in its truest interpretation - nature simulated via a charming strategy game"
"A sandbox game in its truest interpretation - nature simulated via a charming strategy game"
" Okay, so that headline is a little misleading, Except that it’s not at all. Allow me to explain. While From Dust isn’t strictly a sandbox in the sense that gamers have come to understand it – there are very few buildings, certainly no skyscrapers, and a total lack of vehicular combat – in terms of the literal origin of the metaphor, referring to total freedom of expression combined with rafts of emergent gameplay, it’s a killer. Part Lemmings, part Black & White, part childhood holiday sandcastle simulator, the new god game from Eric Chahi, creator of legendary platformer Another World, is already one of the most interesting download games of this year. Want a full report on why? Well good. Because I’ve just prepared one.  ..."
" A loving hybrid of Populous and Lemmings, From Dust is a slick, strange adventure that falls somewhere in between the Puzzle and God Game genres. That unusual pairing is matched with equally unique visuals and gameplay; tiny tribesmen with Katamari masks mill around as you, some sort of landscaping demigod, rearrange the soil, water and lava. "
"From Dust provides a rich world full of engaging challenges, though there are some frustrations even a god must suffer. "
