The gorgeous PS4 action RPG Dust: An Elysian Tail is coming to iPhone and iPad "very soon", says developer Dean Dodrill.

The game features fantasy worlds, anthropomorphic animals, and sentient swords. You'll explore gorgeous hand-drawn worlds, as you complete quests and level up your hero, Dust.

The game has been favourably reviewed on other platforms, with the PC version earning an aggregate score of 85 on Metacritic.

The iOS edition will have touchscreen controls, but Dodrill says "I'm REALLY happy with the touch implementation. It was the most difficult and time-consuming port, nearly five months of work".

The game's also got cloud saves and Game Center, and will require devices with 1GB of RAM or more.

Perhaps the most incredible thing about Dust is that Dodrill made almost everything himself, outside of voice acting, music, and bits of the story. He thought it would take three months to make, but it ended up taking over three years.
