![]() ![]() Everything is purchased using gold coins you've found around the level. Important: there is no actual DLC in this game. DLC Quest is clearly made for people that either follow or consider themselves part of the gaming community, so this means that nearly every joke is an in-joke that not everyone will get. There's a big drawback to this game though: if you don't play a lot of modern games (on your computer or mobile device) then many of the jokes may get lost in translation. The main unique feature is the focus on making jokes, so if you're a fan of platformers and like a little humor, you'll probably enjoy spending an hour or so with this one. ![]() With all of that said, DLC Quest is basically a typical platformer where you run around and gather coins hidden throughout the world, and it's a fairly good one. Once his skull has been obtained from within the Glacial Cave, the Dragonborn must travel to the ruins of Castle Karstaag, where an army of Rieklings must be destroyed before going any further. Things just get crazier during the second adventure, Live Freemium or Die, where the corporate greed has led to many, many more problems and insane business decisions, all of which avid gamers will have seen far too many times to count. The Dragonborn DLC includes a quest in which the ancient ghost of the Frost Giant king, Karstaag, can be summoned and subsequently vanquished during combat. The DLC also gets increasingly ridiculous, as if the management has no idea what their game is about, let alone what the players would enjoy. In order to make any progress, the player is forced to purchase yet more DLC from the in-game store. Since the management is both incredibly inept and greedy, the resulting product is a barely working "game" that features more paywalls than some major highways. More specifically, DLC Quest presents itself as a game made by a corporate entity. In particular, it's a jab at the way some AAA games have failed to live up to expectations or have otherwise become mired in bad ideas and poor practices. Everyone needs to be able to laugh at themselves, and DLC Quest is here to let us laugh at many of the recent (and not so recent) developments in the video game industry. ![]()
