Heaven’s Dust 2 is an isometric survival horror game that combines the puzzle-solving elements of Resident Evil with RPGMaker aesthetics. It certainly isn’t as scary as Resident Evil or Silent Hill but is much more approachable and digestible as a game.
Heaven’s Dust 2 is all about paying close attention to your surroundings to survive. The isometric camera angle gives you a good vantage point of each room to scope out for important objects and potential enemies. Information you can glean and find are all pivotal to progress, as the game’s main form of progression comes in the form of puzzle solving.
Patience is key here as properly aiming at zombies takes time. Once the laser reticle is aligned, Steve will be able to deal meaningful damage. Firing recklessly will only waste precious bullets. It’s a survival horror game; inventory and resource managing is another core aspect to the experience.
You are given a bird’s eye view of your surroundings but this can appear misleading at times as the camera angle turns walls invisible. Also, inability to turn camera angles make navigation and maneuvering a hassle.
Still, Heaven’s Dust 2 is an affordable and worthwhile game that is a clear love letter to Resident Evil and classic survival horror games of a bygone era. It may not look like the most impressive game out there, but it knows what it’s about.
If you jump into this game knowing it is an homage to survival horror greats, you will have a grand old time. Just try not to get lost.

Isometric Survival Indie Horror! Survive the Undead! | Heaven Dust 2 Quick Review!
Heaven’s Dust 2 is what happens when Resident Evil meets RPG Maker. Heaven’s Dust 2 is an isometric survival horror game with puzzle-solving elements that are a clear homage to the classic Resident Evil games. The premise is very similar too.
The isometric camera angle helps illustrate and bring to life the environments you encounter but also deliver you important visual information at the same time. Because puzzle-solving is the primary way to progress in Heaven’s Dust 2, you will always be on the lookout for clues and objects of interest. But, at the same time, it can be annoying to deal with when trying to navigate the sprawling and convoluted map.

Pays homage to the classic survival horror games of the past | First Impressions - Heaven Dust
Heaven Dust, developed and published by One Gruel Studio, is a zombie survival game that aims to capture the essence of classic survival horror titles like the original Resident Evil titles while delivering a modernized 3D experience.
You wake up in a mansion, a former research center that has now transformed into a labyrinth teeming with menacing zombies and treacherous traps. In order to survive, you must face these dangers, gather items, solve puzzles, all while revealing a mysterious storyline that unfolds gradually as they explore the mansion and uncover hidden documents and diaries. The narrative is intriguing, as players piece together the events that led to the mansion's current state and their own presence within it. While the story is not overly complex, it provides enough motivation to drive players forward
