A fun RPG that doesn't take itself too seriously, giving an honest homage to the genre's storied roots.

Pillars of Dust isn't a bad game; it's just not good enough to play. For very young gamers who are learning to read and getting to grips with turn-based gameplay, it's a fine choice. For anyone else, there are far better and more worthwhile retro-inspired RPGs out there - from the same developer, no less.
