Dread Delusion review - a bumpy but fascinating new RPG

Retro game aesthetics have never really gone out of style, but there's always some disconnect between how old games actually were, and how they lodge themselves in our collective memory. As I made my way through Dread Delusion's twisting path across a shattered landscape gravitationally locked to an angry red star, I found myself ruminating on this difference, and about how an idealized notion of the past can often lead to mistaken approaches to present-day problems.

But if you jump a few years ahead, beyond the millennium and into the early '00s, there are some serious classics, enough to maybe steal the title as the genre's best decade. Elder Scrolls Morrowind. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. Deus Ex. Gothic. King's Field IV. Taking inspiration from all these hits and more, an upcoming RPG with a retro aesthetic has accumulated near-flawless Steam user reviews, and now it's departing early access for its full 1.0 release.

Spooky throwback Elder Scrolls 'em up Dread Delusion leaves early access in May

Dread Delusion is a creepo-tastic open world RPG that positively reeks of King's Field and the Elder Scrolls of yore. Created by Lovely Hellplace and published by horror anthology specialists DreadXP, it's so far up my alley it's probably been mugged by some kind of hideous clockwork cutthroat - and yet somehow, I've never played the thing. I'll be rectifying that on 14th May, when Dread Delusion leaves early access.
