    Looks more like a mobile game rather than a game for consoles.

    I think it looks pretty good actually. Not like mobile, but maybe like SNES. I think that's what they were going for.

    Don't mind the retro look. I've played a number of 2D scrolling RPGs like Princess Crown. I'd like to see more Cyberpunk games. Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt RED is my most anticipated game for the X1.

    Interesting premise and I love cyberpunk, but I hate sidescrollers...

    It has nothing to do with youth. I've been gaming since the Colecovision in the 80's and have always wished for better graphics. I've gotten my wish all through Xbox 360.

    I have fond memories of numerous games, like Spy Hunter on Coleco, Top Gun on NES, Goldeneye on N64, Gran Turismo on PlayStation, SOCOM on PS2, KotOR on Xbox, etc. While they were all fun, I can't stand to see those obsolete graphics anymore.

    I really don't understand the popularity of Minecraft and all the other games on Xbox One with seriously outdated graphics.

    This is not an RPG.

    The developer says that it is. Just curious - why do you think it is not?

    I don't care what the dev says. Did you watch the vid? the game is dabbling in all sorts of genres, but it looks like a side scrolling beat'em up to me. Just because it may use small elements from RPG's doesn't make it an RPG.

    Because if it did we would have to call GTA a driving game because you can drive cars in it, or Borderlands an RPG instead of a FPS just because you can upgrade your stuff.

    If you believe it to be an RPG then more power to you, but for me RPG's are games like Final Fantasy or WRPG's like the Witcher 3, and those games are nothing like this game.

    This is a Kickstarter project that I supported. Accordingly, I received updates that esplained why Dex is an RPG. Essentially, you choose a role--a fundamentall feature of any role playing game. As you progress, you earn experience that can be used to evolve and level up the role that you are trying to refine.

    There are at least six different roles/vocations/specializatiions you can select and develop. I have played numerous scrolling beat 'em ups and quite a few scrolling RPGs. Dex has much more in common with 2D side-scrolling RPGs like Ys III, Princess Crown, Blue Breaker, etc. than with 2D side-scrolling beat 'em ups like Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, Final Fight, etc.

    The bottom line is Dex is a retro 2D scrolling RPG with modern, polished production values.

    I will say that devs and gamers BOTH use the term RPG a bit loosely these days... as an RPG fan, it makes it harder to find the games that I enjoy. I played Dust and I'd call that a 2D RPG, but NOT an RPG. It has that "2D" caveat... which will NEVER put it on the same plain as FF or Dragon Age (JRPGs or WRPGs).
