Mechanics

DustFall Cataclysm Mode is the mode the Steam page lists after the ending. Its unlock rules, modifiers and rewards are not documented in any official source.

DustFall controls are keyboard and mouse on Windows, with no controller support listed on Steam and no default key map or remapping options documented yet.

DustFall features: fully destructible pixel terrain, roguelite payload builds, a closing surface scan, six buried ruins, six core bosses and three endings.

DustFall gameplay explained: the descent loop, the surface scan and its hunters, payloads and three-way upgrades, six ruins, six core bosses and Cataclysm Mode.

DustFall hunters arrive when the surface scan locks onto you: stay near the upper layers and you are detected, drawing dangerous hunters down from above.

DustFall payloads start with the Drill Round or Grenade, then grow through three-way upgrades: enhance the weapon, take a passive or switch payloads.

DustFall terrain is fully destructible pixel terrain where oil and fire spread, powder caches blast routes through rock, and removed supports drop cave-ins.

DustFall tips from the store page: read each layer's terrain before digging, never farm the shallow layers, and pick the upgrade branch the ruin needs.

DustFall weapons are payloads and upgrades, not a fixed arsenal: Drill Round, Grenade and freely combinable builds that turn terrain into your real weapon.
