Shradow Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFRs-FWDg7c[/media] 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... - Two full length campaigns: the original award-winning "DLC Quest", and the brand new "Live Freemium or Die". - Platforming action! Coins to collect, a princess to save, a bad guy (or two) to defeat. You like that stuff, right? - Over 30 different DLC packs, each providing quiet introspection on the state of the gaming industry. - Over 20 "awardments" to earn and make you feel reasonably satisfied with yourself. - Online leaderboards. Available for a small fee at the game's website or on Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Trailer made me lolAnd I find it even more amusing that they actually released thisBut in all seriousness, it looks like Super Meat Boy + Megaman Zero + Mario, which could prove to be quite interesting O,o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 One of the early things you have to do is get a sword, and to get it you need to spin a whetstone 10,000 times. There is a DLC that give you x1000 spin speed, but I did it the hard way and just button mashed while I watched YouTube videos. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Issun Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Achievements? Eh... that sounds like a lot of work. Can I just buy the achievements? In all seriousness though, this seems like a hilarious game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Not achievements, "awardments". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hilarious game. In reality, it's fairly simple and linear, but it's very much a style > substance situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game runs off fake difficulty and then lets you pay for an easy button?Just the thought of that, I couldn't help but laugh.Like, I want to get this game now just for it's ridiculousness.

Shradow Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I did it just for the lulz, and when I got the sword a little window popped up that said something along the lines of (meaning very paraphrased), "Many things in life are better gotten the hard way. This is not one of those times. I admire your dedication. - [insert name of creator here]" And the indication for pressing the space bar to close the window and continue said, "Phooey."
