DLC Quest is an indie game for the Xbox 360 that does a hilarious job of mocking the rise of downloadable content for games. Ostensibly a 2D platformer, the hook is that almost every feature in DLC Quest has to be purchased by collecting coins and then trading them for DLC packs.
When the game starts, for example, your character can only move to the right. Want to move to the left? Then you need to buy the DLC Movement pack, which also allows jumping (its a bargain!)
Want to leave the room for a minute to grab a snack? Make sure you’ve purchased the Pause Menu pack first.
DLC Quest is available through Xbox Live, so, you guessed it — its only downloadable. Skyrim it’s not, but for only 80 Microsoft points (about $1), it is a clever, fun game that certainly makes its point.
