Dexter Stardust nos cuenta una historia muy a lo… «Futurama», con gráficos y personajes dibujados a mano. Un relato que nos lleva por varios planetas en busca de aventuras y puzles, muchísimos puzles, pero muy sencillos, mientras intentamos salvar el mundo y repartimos paquetes sin ningún daño. La parte buena, y punto mega positivo de este juego, es que en muchos puzles en los que la mecánica es la repetición; por ejemplo: poner tablas en un puente, Dexter se dará cuenta de lo cansino que puede resultar, el poner y quitar una tabla, que avanzará a toda mecha y no tendremos que hacer nosotros nada más.
El juego está totalmente doblado, y las voces de los actores son carismáticas, y con muchísima vida (los actores son los propios creadores del juego). La OST es sencilla, pero con la gracia de las series de ciencia ficción de los 70s. Con toques de sintetizadores, guitarras… (y algún ukelele). Lo recomiendo especialmente si sois amantes de las aventuras de toda la vida y queréis algo más portátil o probar, este formato de juego en la consola de Nintendo. También si sois fans, pero fans de póster de Futurama y las aventuras de ciencia ficción como Firefly. Dexter Stardust es una maravilla a todos los niveles y es tan amable y amena que permite jugarla a ratitos, sin robarte mucho tiempo.

There is a trend in point-and-click adventures that build off of the past in terms of nostalgia. Some do it in a way that isn't distracting, while others spend too much time remembering the good ol days. That's really the downside of "Dexter Stardust", a point-and-click adventure that tells the story of Dexter, an ordinary guy working for a space delivery service, that gets caught up in a conflict that just so happens to be tied to his past.
The gameplay is fine, for it does what a point-and-click should do, and sticks to that. You find key items that'll help you progress through the area, and discover the story along the way. It has some moments that I found to be entertaining in terms of its sense of humor, but sometimes, it would drag those gags on a bit too long, which left me tired. It didn't help that it would spend a long time on exposition and drawn out dialogue that definitely could have used some trimming down. I was interested in going through the chapter, but these issues I just mentioned certainly left me feeling quite sleepy. It also spends a lot of time trying to feed you "memberberries", making jokes and references based around classic point-and-click adventure game moments, which were a bit distracting after awhile.
The story of Dexter and the unfolding of his past around the game's conflict is certainly curious, but the forced humor, drawn out dialogue that goes nowhere, and nostalgic references certainly get in the way. Tonally, it's trying to tell a somewhat dark story, but also wants to be whimsical and goofy, and so it feels disjointed. The gameplay itself is well made, and the item puzzles are clever, so I wouldn't give it too much of a bad rep. It's just tough for me to enjoy with those things I mentioned. Just makes me sleepy.
