Buying advice

[Derino]

Hello guys i wanted to buy the game because it looks fun. Should i buy just basic version, or all the dlc for best experience? Also does dlc make the game harder? Thanks

I would definitely recommend buying the game with all dlcs. Because the dlcs don't just add something to the late game, they also change the early game. In my opinion, they change the way you play the game in a good fashion. The last dlc made the game harder, but you won't be able to reach newly added alternative hard floors from the beginning. Early game is still harder but not that much.

The full game of course.

If you're completely new, I think it would be fine to start with just Rebirth. If you like it, go ahead and get all of the DLC. So far, Repentence in my opinion makes the game harder but if you stay on normal mode it should still be doable for a new player.

If you want to have fun, just don't buy Repentance.

Ok, screw anyone thinking that "buying everything" is a good choice, IT IS NOT.

If you do buy everything: disable every single DLC (on your library)!!!!!!

The game is HORRIBLE when it comes to balancing old and new content. You want to start with the base game, unlock everything you can, activate the first dlc, play through it till you are confident enough and got enough unlocks, get the next DLC, do the same and repeat it.


Why? Because every single DLC increases the item pool, but it mostly adds junk to it, making it "unplayable" for beginners. As a beginner you have zero clues about what each item does, you will have no clues about enemies, tons of new enemies will get added with horrible mechanics, etc. etc.

Just play it one by one, DO NOT PLAY THE CURRENT DLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or any DLC till you beat the base game and got multiply endings on multiply characters!!!!!!

Most of the DLC content is locked behind mid to late game unlockables anyways. It wouldn't hurt to buy the full package. The Repentance DLC adds a difficult alternate route through the game and makes hard mode harder, but it doesn't affect the base game's difficulty that much. I can win runs about as consistently as I could pre-Repentance.

Thanks guys for answers Well it seems that maybe i should just buy the base game since my reflexes aren't that good in these types of games. Also i noticed i can't buy seperate dlc just bundles with them.

It's worthless without DLCs at this point

Buy just Rebirth, play it a bit and if you like it and are pretty good with it then buy the DLC. The DLCs make the game significantly harder but add thousandfold more content than there is in the base game. The base game is not worthless at all without the DLC for casual play but like I said buy the DLC once you get a good handling of the game.
Also yeh you have to buy them either in a bundle or in order they came out in since that's just how they are designed.
