A free DLC with a carnival twist and new classes Count me in—this feels like a love letter to classic RPG fans. Also, three-player co-op means I can finally drag my friends into this gorgeous pixel art world with me.

Free DLC with eight hours of content and local co-op Sabotage Studio really knows how to treat fans of retro RPGs right. Also, that carnival theme is giving me major Chrono Trigger vibes—can't wait to see how they tie in The Messenger references too
