Completed with 100% of achievements unlocked. Duke Dashington Remastered gives every indication of being a Wario Land clone of sorts, from the pixelart and character design to the signature dash move, but in fact this is closer to a puzzle game of sorts, comprising a series of single-screen areas to traverse, entirely with dash moves. Typically only one series of moves will work, or perhaps a few minor variations, resulting in the puzzle-like feel, though there's still some extent of timing involved too. It all works quite nicely as a game that you can pick up for short bouts of play and its five worlds (each comprising 30 screens) can be beaten in about an hour, but it's enjoyable while it lasts, if unexceptional. A time trial mode adds replayability if seeking to perfect your play appeals.
