As I typed that I kinda forgot this post was about a Fighting game. I was speaking more generally about GaaS. It’s good fighters still have something akin to old school DLC!

There has been one constantly updated game that I loved, I think because it wasn’t actually live service.

Dead Cells! They were always putting out balance passes but also included a new weapon occasionally, then would release a true DLC that added new levels, new enemies and new weapons. Would spend some time balancing that drop and eventually release a new one.

I miss games like that, I’m happy to buy an expansion of a game I love, not going to buy a new battlepass or skins or whatever though.

Islets is SO GOOD! Glad to see someone else that feels the same! Was very surprised how good it was and feel like it didn’t get the love it deserves.
