Season pass worth it?

[MCfactorio]

Hi all, I have the main game but haven't started it yet. I was wondering if people who have played the season pass levels/missions think they are worth getting? I believe it is only 3 levels which are reskins of levels from the main game?

1 is a reskin, however 2 and 3 are brand new. Although even the reskin feels like a different level as there have been some changes made to the map and all the guard placements and objectives are different. I'd say it was worth it, however at the same time if you haven't played the main game yet then you might want to do that first - obviously the same will end up on sale again at some point in the future anyway.

Thanks. I should've said that I have played Shadow Tactics, however perhaps it might be better to wait until I have played the main game.

Personally I think "reskin" is a little too dismissive. It is a new map that happens to take place in the same (fictional) physical setting.
Although I recognise that the the word may mean different things to each of us.

But to put it in more concrete Shadow Tactics terms: DLC mission 1 is to main game mission 15 what Mount Tsuru Prison (ST mission 10) is to Mount Tsuru (ST mission 4).

To the OP's question: I bought both main and DLC on pre-order, based on my Shadow Tactics experience, and I have no regrets.

That's really helpful, thank you! I didn't mean to sound dismissive at all.

Did you prefer ST or Desperados III? Which did you get more play/time out of?

Search this forum for "Shadow Tactics". The question of "ST vs. D3" comes up often, and as you might imagine, garners a mixture of responses. For example: https://steamcommunity.com/app/610370/discussions/0/2577697524294898978/

I think I have 150 hours on D3, and 100 hours on ST. This included initial play through on Normal, a revised play through on Hard. And another play through on Badges for both games. I think D3 has more content because of the Baron Challenges.

Thanks. It seems like you really enjoyed both of them!
