The AGROCAST for January 2020 focuses on Hotel Dusk for the Nintendo DS.
We open 2020 with a bit of hindsight (oh!) by looking back, or in co-host Kris’ case, taking a fresh look at Hotel Dusk. The Nintendo DS seemed to be ripe ground for Adventure games. Particularly titles like Hotel Dusk, part of the Touch! Generations branding. It’s a title that takes advantage of the DS’s various functions, sometimes in a clever way and other times “just because it can.”
But does the game itself hold up? Or is it just a showcase of puzzles? There’s a lot of character to Hotel Dusk. It’s a mystery presented in a terrific artstyle with atmospheric music and… well, I can’t review the game before the podcast even plays.
