Geoff, whom I hear cries when he sees the ending to Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion, also reviewed this for Two Fedoras. It’s an experience, and it’s one you should take in.ĭLC Quest was developed by Going Loud StudiosĨ0 Microsoft Points charged you an additional 80 Microsoft Points to snark up this review in proper Indie Gamer Chick fashion in the making of this review. It’s not going to be the type of game that contends for the leaderboard. I know this wasn’t your typical Indie Gamer Chick review, but I wanted to keep it real for this one. The gameplay isn’t going to blow your mind, but the humor is genuine and worth the price. DLC Quest is referential in a more broad sense, not having to quote anything directly because it’s developer trusts that you’re in on the joke already. More often than not, games on the marketplace try to pass off gutter gags or references to other games as comedy. This is the best example of gaming as a forum for humor I’ve seen on Xbox Live Indie Games thus far. I’m not even putting the trailer up here for it. Don’t demo it, don’t continue Googling it, STOP! Just get it. If my word as a gaming critic means anything to you, go grab DLC Quest for 80MSP. It’s going to be a solid, entertaining hour that doesn’t overstay it’s welcome The whole experience will take about 45 minutes to complete, give or take, and once you’ve finished the game you’ll likely never play it again. The actual game physics are well done, and there’s nothing in it that can cause you to die, so you can play it at your leisure. As a game, DLC Quest is very basic in design, but the humor of being nickle-and-dimed for everything is something any gamer in this day and age can relate to. The currency comes in the form of coins that you gather, Mario style. Now obviously you’re not paying for the DLC via Microsoft Points. And I mean EVERYTHING, from the pause menu to animation and you know what fuck it, I’ve already said too much. What I can tell you is that DLC Quest is a 2D platformer where the gimmick is everything in the game needs to be acquired via DLC. So this review is really going to be truncated. You see, they made this incredibly witty, at times laugh-out-loud funny game that I can’t review in-depth because I don’t want to spoil anything. DLC Quest comes to us from Going Loud Studios, developer of former IndieGamerChick leaderboard member Lair of the Evildoer.
