Video Game Review: Dredge - Xbox One


Dredge is a indie video game developed and published by Watchful Software. After playing through the entirety of the game, I can say without hesitation that it is a standout title in the crowded field of indie games.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Dredge follows the story of a group of survivors who band together to combat a mysterious force that has consumed the world. The game is stylishly presented with cel-shaded graphics that have a distinctly unique feel.

The game's biggest strength is its narrative. The storyline is riveting and keeps the player hooked throughout. The characters are well fleshed out, and each has their unique story arc that is seamlessly woven into the larger narrative.

The game's mechanics are straightforward, with traditional hack-and-slash gameplay and RPG elements. Players will find themselves exploring vast, sprawling levels and fighting hordes of enemies. Combat is fluid and responsive, and each character has a unique set of abilities and special moves that can be unlocked as the game progresses.

One of the game's standout features is its level design. The levels are beautifully crafted, taking place in a variety of environments, including cities, forests, and barren wastelands. Each level is filled with hidden secrets, and players will need to explore every nook and cranny to discover them all.

The game also has an impressive soundtrack, featuring a mix of electronic and orchestral music that perfectly complements the action on-screen. The sound effects are also top-notch, with every slash and swing of a weapon feeling impactful.

Dredge's only significant flaw is its length. The game is relatively short, clocking in at around six hours. However, the game's narrative is so well-crafted that it feels like a complete experience, despite its brevity.

Overall, Dredge is an impressive achievement. The game takes tried and tested gameplay mechanics and injects them with its unique flavor, creating a standout title in the indie gaming landscape. With its gripping narrative, beautiful visuals, and engaging gameplay, Dredge is a must-play for fans of the genre. Watchful Software has set the bar high with its debut title, and I'm excited to see what they have in store for us next.
