From Dust is a Strategy game available on the 360. It can be played in Singleplayer modes.

From Dust is a Strategy game. Strategy games provide experiences that require quick thinking, and forward planning from the gamer. They combine the unfolding tactics of classic games like chess, with more recent board games such as Risk. Usually focusing on a theatre of war context, players enjoy the tactical overview of the battle these games provide.

From Dust can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience.

These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.
