Thankfully this is just satire and all the DLC is purchased with in-game coins. But consider it a cautionary tale for the future...
Key Features:

Watching the game is enough to give you the idea. If this idea was taken to a larger level, I am sure you got yourself a fun game play experience. I just look back at this game, not wanting to replay it. Going through and buying the DLCs the first time was fun and interesting; but, since there is only so much to buy and so much to do. You reach the end very quickly. So if you want to experience this game I would suggest watching some one else play it. If this doesn't stop you. Then I believe you will have fun. Also as others mentioned the speed run achievements are not 'fun'. To tie beating the game as fast as possible to a steam achievement shows that even they want you to rush through the game.
Funny, but quite short.
OK LET ME TELL YOU WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THIS GAME!
FIRST....
sorry, you need to unlock the DLC to see full review.
i need more like EA DLC
Paradox Interactive you weren't supposed to mimic this game
Best game ever, it's a bloody brilliant indie gem.

This game is older than my nephew, 10/10
Incredibly superficial nothing game making a incredible heavy handed one note point. Its a basic as heck platformer (and not fun) that even 11 years ago you could have found some amazing projects for free with some actual depth to them.
This should have been nothing more than an animation on youtube. The fact they charge for this only serves to be a hypocrisy of its own point really.
Pretty sure I had this as part of a humble bundle way back when, but this being in it adds no value, probably only popular due to the circle that pushed it so hard at the time, which maybe would have been a more interesting point about the industry and how things are attributed value and sold to us then anything this "game" had to say.
Side note: Calling this game a prediction of gamings future is actually mental. This game was made 7 years after Oblivions horse armor (a thing it references), by the time this game was an idea in its creators head the discussion around DLC had already been around for actual years.
Whoever thought the speed run achievements were a good idea has brain damage. Do not pick up if you want to 100% the game.
Basically the Payday 2 experience
A game that makes fun of modern dlc practices and becomes more and more on the nose as the years go by
Neutral recommendation.
Forgot I had this game in my library and can't even remember why I thought it'd be fun to play, but here I am.. I decided to go through some backlog and found this partially incomplete and now I remember why I stopped playing years ago. It's not that it controls poorly or has bad design.. it's just a gimmick, a novelty, a bad series of jokes/puns that I didn't care for then and still don't now. The worse part about it is having to speedrun both campaigns for achievements which in itself is never a fun task regardless of the game.
You might get your money's worth and you might not. There are worse games out there.
RIP Shepherd
Not fun really. That was the purpose of the game I think.
The only case when pay-to-win is appropriate
DLC Quest is a fun little metroidvania, where you need to buy DLCs to get different abilities, most of them are absolutely useless though and added just for a meme.
This product actually gives you two games, first one is regular DLC Quest and it's second part named Live Freemium Or Die. Regular DLC Quest is very basic, you can't die there, it takes about 30-40 minutes to complete 100%, but it is still pretty nice, funny jokes are definitely the best part out there, since the gameplay is very fundamental.
Second part, on the other hand, is much better, it adds a lot of action to the gameplay, there are spikes from which you can die, they does not do the game extremely difficult, but they definitely add some platforming challenge, there is an actual final boss in this part. Overall, second part is better and bigger, takes about and hour to complete 100%.
Art style in both titles is also extremely simple, pixel art with very few details, doesn't look bad though, rather pretty neat.
Soundtrack is quite good, but nothing especially original, it is just comfortable to listen while playing.
What I didn't like are speedrun achievements, those are just nonsense. To get them you need to complete first game 100% in 12 minutes and second one also 100% in 20 minutes, this is insane. There is so little time to spare, it is absolutely stupid to add such achievements to such game. If you do everything perfectly, you will have like 20-30 seconds to spare. I don't think this a good choice for an achievements.t
In general, both games are worth to try, price is decent for about 3-4 hours of gameplay, if you plan on doing everything.
Classic
i bought this game for archipelago and then literally never played it in a randomizer
Fun, cheap, satire of a game.
fun little game that mocks the ideea of p2w and content added to paid dlcs
this game predicted the future perfectly
A great parody of what went wrong in gaming industry, DLC that people hate aren't the DLC that adds new content like the old expansion packs. It's the ones that are nothing more than micro-transaction cash-grabs designed not to satisfy us as customers but to milk as much money out of our wallets as possible.
Pay-to-win consumables, day one gameplay enhancements, and overpriced cosmetics to name a few. Therefore, this new normal is, unfortunately.
Funny, wholesome and quite cynical view on DLCs in the gaming industry.
Still, the metroidvania concept holds up and it's a nice little title to finish within a few hours
Oh, and don't be afraid... you won't have to actually buy "real money" DLCs in this game. That's the point actually. :D
While I recognize this as a good commentary on the state of DLC in the early 2010s, I can't say the game holds up very well. The game-play loop makes less sense these days, as most DLC comes in the form of skins and battle passes. The game itself was never really fun on its own, so the over all package doesn't hold up as a fun experience. If you were big into gaming in the 2000s and early 2010s, you might get a kick out of the references and the way it calls out those early days of DLC; but with the short run time and lack of engaging game-play, I'm not sure you'll really enjoy the experience.
As an additional note, the achievements are all fairly easy, but there are 2 speed run achievements that really hurt the completionist experience. The margins for the runs are very slim and, as I mentioned before, the game is not very fun. You'll find yourself playing each game mode over and over, even if you know the good routes. This took my opinion on the game from neutral to negative.
Enjoyable game, satire, that may actually have predicted the future of gaming.
Rating:4/10
Completion difficulty:7/10
Ironically, this parody game is way too tame by current videogame standards, so it's lost a lot of it's bite and enjoyment. The game itself is... not great, honestly. The challenge comes from the speedrun achievements wich are a bit tough, but apart from that you're just kind of hugging every wall to find secret areas. The DLC isn't too great either- There are some better games if you're looking for a laugh and some decent gameplay.
solid quickly beaten game with a unique concept
Awful.
I didn’t hate this, but there’s no part of it that felt more worthwhile than if I had just watched a trailer, laughed for half a second, and then played a different game.
