A delightful mocking of DLC. A enjoyable platformer that developes as you unlock features (DLC). I'm proud to have purchased this game and in turn supported the developers.

Gameplay wise nothing to write home about, but still hilariously relevant in terms of the video games industry. Good for a quick and cheap laugh.

The only case when pay-to-win is appropriate DLC Quest is a fun little metroidvania, where you need to buy DLCs to get different abilities, most of them are absolutely useless though and added just for a meme. This product actually gives you two games, first one is regular DLC Quest and it's second part named Live Freemium Or Die. Regular DLC Quest is very basic, you can't die there, it takes about 30-40 minutes to complete 100%, but it is still pretty nice, funny jokes are definitely the best part out there, since the gameplay is very fundamental. Second part, on the other hand, is much better, it adds a lot of action to the gameplay, there are spikes from which you can die, they does not do the game extremely difficult, but they definitely add some platforming challenge, there is an actual final boss in this part. Overall, second part is better and bigger, takes about and hour to complete 100%. Art style in both titles is also extremely simple, pixel art with very few details, doesn't look bad though, rather pretty neat. Soundtrack is quite good, but nothing especially original, it is just comfortable to listen while playing. What I didn't like are speedrun achievements, those are just nonsense. To get them you need to complete first game 100% in 12 minutes and second one also 100% in 20 minutes, this is insane. There is so little time to spare, it is absolutely stupid to add such achievements to such game. If you do everything perfectly, you will have like 20-30 seconds to spare. I don't think this a good choice for an achievements.t In general, both games are worth to try, price is decent for about 3-4 hours of gameplay, if you plan on doing everything.
