  See my guide on setting widescreen resolutions - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2718669279 Dusk-12 is a charming game with a very cheap price tag. Interesting setting + aesthetic. The mutant levels aren't very fun but the FPS levels are mostly solid, and the game has its share of memorable moments.

  TECHNICAL ISSUES: SCROLL DOWN FURTHER FOR GAME. Imagine you purchase a book that's 1,000 pages in length but you can't open it because you took off the price tag. Now imagine you put it back on, you can now open and read the book BUT pages 75 - 500 are blank pages. Yes folks this describes Dusk 12 perfectly. Before you start the game you will get a window for all your options video, AA, shaders etc. Now if you touch anything and I mean ANYTHING even just moving it up one that's it you have screwed yourself and the game will not launch. Now let's say it does launch, think you're safe? Oh no. You want to hit escape to pause? Enjoy your frozen game. You want to skip a cutscene? Enjoy your game freeze. Now if you dissable music AND cutscenes (video playback) and also install NVidia Legacy driver well then look at that you can play it, but what is the point of playing something where story points are blocked out? Well you could focus on what you get, but imagine in order to play Max Payne 3 you had to dissable loading scenes and cutscenes, you'd have no idea what the Hell just happened. If you are running earlier then Windows 98 or newer then a Windows XP then that's it, no cutscenes to explain story and no music to set the mood, and having both of those off you will still wait to see if it'll even work or just freeze at a loading screen. GAME. Now for the actual game. Dusk 12 has you controling 2 people, a mutant and a soldier. The setting is in a town that's been hit with something (but again we don't know because you are forced to dissable cutscenes.) Now, this is from a Russian company so all spoken lines are English dub overs (and we all know how bad those can be) so if you come in expecting anything other then cringe worthy then stay away. The gunplay is standard, the progression is a little slow but the mutant powers are pretty good (night vision, health regeneration by draining life from enemies.) Gameplay it is simple point A to point B. Now if you've played any kind of Russian games you should know that the graphics are outdated, just look at this, this is from 2007 (released 2008.) The ragdolls are basic and the effects are nothing special. Overall I'd chalk it up to a no-frills standard shooter and a boring one at that. I'm not thumbing down because of the technical issues, I'm thumbing down because it's a boring game in general.

  A fun little eurojank FPS, most of the negative reviews are due to the game's english version not having proper patches, there's a really easy fix (as show in Jarek's review on Youtube) where you can easily fix this and entirely via steam.

  I really don't know about this game as I never played it, never opened it. It does not want to open and I have sent mail to Steam support with no answer as to why the game will not open. I have all the proper physx drivers and more then enough memory with a quad processor. Please not waste your time and money on this game like I did...

  How can put a game on the store that won't even launch? Buy it only if you collect cards

  This game is one the better games from the Russian dev Orion along with Hellforces. For under $1 it's great. The Stalin Subway series is rubbish, but this game has some good ideas and charm, its no Dishonored or Crisis. It looks and plays like a 2005 era game, so expect issues when running this on modern systems. Gladly there are fixes and work-arounds to get it running really well, so use the forum and google to look for the fixes. BTW Too many 12 year olds are giving this negative reviews just because the thing does work out of the box like their xbox titles, those people need to GTFO and let us PC grown-ups enjoy our weird Russian B games.

  Not a bad game for the price and once you have it running ;) And if you dont mind downloading a new audio dill file! And remember this is a old game ;) Bigtime for the peeps that love odd or old FPS games!! Some Tips on getting the game running is once its downloaded is right click the game and hit Properties.Now hit Local Files and hit Verify Integrity of Game Cache. Let it download the missing files if any.(I was missing 5 files) Ok next is just in case, is run it as a Admin. You next need to get the new Audiere dll (1.9.4) from the following link (THX you Sir_Lancelot and Kvaki):"The dll is in the bin folder in the audio download file...so simply replace to one in the Dusk12 folder with the new one and you should be fine"( worked for me 100%) http://audiere.sourceforge.net/download.php If you need anymore help go here and read :) http://steamcommunity.com/app/317970/discussions/0/35221584500012440/ Once you have all this done all should work 100% fine! Im running fine all settings maxed and im on Windows 7 Ultimate!! GOOD LUCK!!

  The game proved to be better than I expected. Before I played it I saw a lot of negative reviews of this game. The game is a little rough but despite this fact it was nice to play in it. The graphics are not the best but it does not hurt. About the sound of this game it has a weak voice acting but the sounds of weapons are correct and the game has nice music. About gameplay game has a lot of bugs, bad optimized engine and it is quite difficult but it has an interesting atmosphere resembling a little S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Half-Life 2 or Devastation, interesting story and campaign divided into two characters. If you do not have for this game exorbitant demands, I can recommend this game but if bugs and graphics in the game strike you I definitely do not recommend. If you want to launch the game under Windows 7, you must download the latest version of the file audiere.dll http://audiere.sourceforge.net/download.php and install the Nvidia PhysX Legacy http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.12.1031-legacy-driver.html
