    For 1.01$ on Steam Summer Sale.... I was very......IMPRESSED This game for a buck is a very awesome deal. Can take Maximum 3 hours to complete everything ,so that 0.33$ an hour I had great times with this game and I very felt in love with the idea. Yes it is linear but hey it very funny, very original, and very fun overall It definitely the Best 1$ I have spent in my entire life! Just buy it

    This game is legitimately fun! Entertainment in its best! As the other reviews revealed: It's not that long. I'd say that it is surely worth 1,5-3 euros, even though you may finish the game in 1,5 hour

    Love it. The games really cheap for what it is and you can get it for $1 on any sale. The game has great jokes and fun platform gameplay. You can get about 45 Mins. to 1 hour with it. Its good for killing time thats all. The story also makes fun of the generic stories.

    Short but it's very clever, really funny and fun gameplay. It's a great social commentary on the current state of the gaming industry, it's cheap so the short length is justified by the low price. I highly recommend this if you want a short and fun game.

    This was fantastic entertainment with a lot of funny jokes about the well known DLC-practices of the Games-Industry. A short, but worthy game with traditionell jump n'run mechanics and a fitting Pixel-graphic.
    If you buy steam-version there is a sequel implemented. Well done "Going Out Loud".

    I loved the game. I didnt expect too much since it only was 2,40 Euro on Steam, but i loved the idea of making a satire on dlc. I laughed at the gags on dlc and gaming. The game could be a little longer though, but well, i only paid 2,40 so what. Great game. Something real cool, very nostalgic and very clever

    Someone gifted me this game when it was on sale for 75 cents. Amazing I know. Anyway, with an original price of 3 dollars, this game offers a very good amount of gameplay for that price. It won't take longer than 2 and a half hours or maybe 3 to complete it, but one of its best qualities is the humor, which is mostly based on other video game allusions and stereotypes.

    Great little gem of a game! The controls are tight, the story is laugh-out-loud funny, and the difficulty level is just right for my tastes. Probably 2-4 hours worth of gameplay, but neither feels too short or too long. I bought it on sale for less than a dollar, but anything under five bucks would probably be fair.

    This game is probably on my top five funniest games list. It has a lot of game related satire, especially the part where the mock RPG character tries to get you to go on a quest, and you shoot him down. The DLC you buy is also very funny, packed with references like the "Armor for your Horse" throwback to Oblivion.

    Worth the money for nice chuckles! For $3.00 I had fun, giggled and made sure did all the "awardments." After that, I played the 2nd campaign: Live Freemium or Die. This 2nd campaign was even funnier than the first. At the same time as being funny, DLC Quest takes a look at the ridiculousness of the concept of paid DLC.

    An extremely fun tongue-in-cheek platformer… DLC Quest is a brief encounter that makes jest of the overuse of DLC within modern video games! Although it’s a relatively simple game, I just really enjoyed it a hell of a lot… To be honest I’m not even sure why! The gameplay is basic, the environments are average and the animations are average… The whole things very average, in honesty!An extremely fun tongue-in-cheek platformer… DLC Quest is a brief encounter that makes jest of the overuse of DLC within modern video games!

The gameplay is basic, the environments are average and the animations are average… The whole things very average, in honesty! However it has some rather wonderful charm to it; whether this is the simplicity of the game, the cleverly written dialogues, the fact the whole thing is very cutesy and I guess it’s just a combination of these fun elements that make it work… But I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it is!… Expand

    Classic platform game with tiptop gameplay. Parody of downloadable content, when you buy a game and then you have to pay for more and more to continue. Nice fun for about 2 hours.

    No es un videojuego, sino una reflexión sobre la industria, pero sin duda una de las reflexiones más interesantes y necesaria que puede tener. Debería ser obligatorio para los investigadores de Game Studies.

    Gem of a game!
    The interactions with the NPC and the pot shots at the DLC business are so hilarious.
    Collect coins to buy in game DLC to complete in game quests and finally defeat the SHOPKEEPER!

    Parody of 2010s Gaming Industry. Not a groundbreaking game, but still provides with Metroidvania style gameplay and sarcastic humor. It is kind of short game, yet you need to replay a few times to fully consume every content game provides.

    9: Must play - One of the best games of the year it came out.

    A pretty impressive package for 2 quid. [June 2013, p.79]

    At the very least, you'll get your money's worth, which often cannot be said for the many games DLC Quest owes its creation to.
