    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...

    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.

    Parody of 2010s Gaming Industry. Not a groundbreaking game, but still provides with Metroidvania style gameplay and sarcastic humor. It isParody 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.

    This was fantastic entertainment with a lot of funny jokes about the well known DLC-practices of the Games-Industry. A short, but worthy gameThis 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".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought this game very cheaply and I'm glad I did as well, it is rather enjoyable for a while and it's supposed to take the mickey out of DLC and Free-to-play games that require you to pay up to win, and it does that very well.

    Although the world is small and it is a very basic game, I still had great fun with this, and the humor is very well pulled off, I don't normally laugh at the jokes in a game but this really made me chuckle.

    However, no review is complete without criticism and I do have a couple of complaints on this game, for one, because of the Pause Menu DLC that you have to buy to get the "These used to come standard" achievement I couldn't pause the game, I realize that this game is trying to make DLC look extreme but I just cannot get over that. Another thing are the controls in the game that are unchangeable, which is a real blow to the game.

    But other than those things I had fun with this game and I'd totally recommend it to anyone with a Steam account and a couple of quid.

That being said, it doesn't take much to fill this game, because it's disappointingly short. Sure, it's cheap, and basically straight up says that it's short. The game left me wondering if the couple hours of laughs i got out of this game were worth the price. The answer was yes, but it might be better to just watch someone play it on Yiutube. Expand
