Playing through the Scorched Grove and Starstone Mines areas of Duskfade on Nintendo Switch 2, with Scorched Grove leading up to the first dungeon in Starstone Mines.
Captured on Nintendo Switch 2.

Duskfade is a 3D action platformer from indie developer Weird Beluga, and a heartfelt love letter to the golden era of the genre, drawing clear inspiration from PS2 era classics like Jak and Daxter and Kingdom Hearts. You play as young hero Zirian, who sets out across a world consumed by eternal night to rescue his sister, imprisoned within a mysterious Clock Tower, accompanied by his loyal mechanical companion Cuckoo. The game blends fluid traversal, jumping, dashing, grappling, gliding, grinding and slashing, with fast paced sword combat across a series of imaginative, dreamlike realms.

This gameplay covers the Scorched Grove, a vibrant area that builds toward the game's first proper dungeon, and Starstone Mines itself. It is a great look at how Duskfade's movement and combat come together in the early game, as well as the striking, often oversaturated visual style that has been one of the most praised parts of the experience.

Whether you are a fan of classic 3D platformers curious about this modern throwback, weighing up Duskfade on Switch 2, or simply here for some Zirian gameplay, this video gives you a look. Subscribe for more Duskfade and Nintendo Switch 2 content.
