DLC Quest

About game

DLC Quest is a satirical platforming game that cleverly critiques the modern video game industry's trend of monetizing downloadable content (DLC). Players take on the role of a hero on a quest to rescue a princess, but the game humorously twists the experience by requiring players to purchase various upgrades and abilities as if they were DLCs. From the outset, fundamental actions like moving left or right are locked behind these paywalls, forcing players to gather in-game currency that allows them to "purchase" the ability to play the game fully. This tongue-in-cheek commentary highlights the absurdity of certain gaming practices while providing an entertaining and engaging platforming experience. The gameplay features familiar mechanics, such as jumping and collecting coins, but with a twist that keeps players aware of the satirical message throughout. As players progress through a series of charmingly designed levels, they encounter obstacles and challenges that require them to unlock various facets of gameplay, intertwining fun with critical commentary. The humorous art style and light-hearted dialogue enhance the overall experience, making it not only an entertaining game but also a thought-provoking one. By the end of the quest, players find themselves reflecting on the state of the gaming industry, all while enjoying a unique platforming adventure.
