Just a forwarning, this review is going to be super short as I don’t really want to give so much away…….shit, I should shut up while I have a chance. Anywho, in a nutshell, DLC Quest takes you on a Quest of smiting a bad guy. Each part of the game requires you to have DLC to continue, don’t worry, you won’t be spending out of pocket with this one. You collect coins which in hand act as in game currency to purchase required DLC. Whether it be to move your character, add zombies or whatever that game requires to run, you must purchase all the on-disc DLC (Really no disc at all). The game is a satirical adventure where most of us already know that a lot of video game industry, has been charging outrageous amounts of money for tiny content of cosmetic changes, map packs, and whatever ever microtransactions. The game is hilarious and quirky and is enough for your dollar. The character art will certainly be remembered, along with the soundtrack. I can’t seem to get the image of this title out of my head. I am going to straight to the point with this one, 5 out of 5 seems like a fair enough rating for this title. The whole time I played, I had absolute fun.


DLC Quest Now Available on XBLIG



Going Loud Studios is proud to announce that “DLC Quest” is now available on the Xbox Live Indie Games marketplace. Gamers can download it for 80 Microsoft Points.

What happens when DLC practices go too far? An indie developer makes a game that mocks the industry and its foibles, that’s what! Defeat the bad guy, save the world and get the girl! But first you’ll need to find coins to buy DLC to enable animation, sound and even pausing.

Thankfully this is just satire and all the DLC is purchased with in-game coins. But consider it a cautionary tale for the future…

Features:
– Platforming action! Coins to collect, a princess to save, a bad guy to defeat. You like that stuff, right?
– 16 different DLC packs, each providing quiet introspection on the state of the gaming industry
– 10 awardments to earn and make you feel reasonably satisified with yourself

“The irony of making a game that mocks downloadable content and releasing it in downloadable form is not lost on me,” says Ben Kane, the lone developer of Going Loud Studios. “Heck, if all goes well, I’ll jump the shark and make some DLC for DLC Quest.”
