I could spout off plenty of other moments that had me chuckling over the course of the hour+ it’ll take you to finish, but I don’t want to ruin the fun. It’s the sharp writing and legitimate laughs (I LOL’ed for a good five minutes straight at the double-joke regarding season passes) that see you through, not the coin collecting and backtracking, which threatens to get stale but is all done for the sake of a laugh. From terrible load times to missing content, fetch quests and trivial NPCs, most of the things gamers love to hate on will get their comeuppance. DLC and its pitfalls are the star, and you’ll need to buy plenty of it (fictionally, of course, your wallet is safe) in order to both advance the plot and (optionally) inject lethal doses of humor into the game world. The coins you run across (and there will be coins) are merely that ticket to ride, the environments functioning purely as a vehicle that segues from one excellent dialogue bubble to next. DLC Quest is about the journey rather than the ride. There are the ‘Metroidvania’ moments, where a specific skill or item is needed, but you’re largely free from any challenge or shackles. Combat… what combat? You’re given a sword you almost never use, save to carve a path through vines, a pickaxe to break apart rocks. Spikes will occasionally take your life if you don’t look before you leap, but checkpoints are generous, once purchased (…you’ll see). Run and jump, collect coins, walk to the next zone, repeat. And from in-game ads to broken game design, Minecraft to Mass Effect, nothing in the game industry is safe from DLC Quest: Live Freemium or Die (80 MSP) and its pinpoint-accurate lampooning.įrom a gameplay perspective, Live Freemium or Die is alarmingly basic. As a satire on the current console cycle and its ubiquitous downloadable content, the DLC Quest series to date has enjoyed a steady amount of success, thanks to its mix of carefree platforming as a means to an end and charming wit carrying you to that end.
