SimonG: The content updates are worth their money imo 
  I disagree there. The barbarian is basically a direct copy of the squire with a new skin, a second weapon added and the towers replaced by abilities. 
 I can not talk about the graphic, since my skill with art is lower than that of a dead goat, but the programming related change does by no means justify 3€ if one assumes that the base game used object oriented programming (and if it did not, then they are to blame :)). 
 Balancing the barbarian shouldn't justify that either. 
 Had they included the Series EV, the Summoner and the Jester, I'd have said, fine, a bit expansive, but hey, I don't know how many of these they sell, so, the artist might need to be feed. 
 Had they included new weapons and familiars(pets) together with really innovative game changing new abilities, I could have understood as well.    
SimonG: "provide funding as we go". 
  I don't mind providing funds as we go, but they are pushing it a wee bit far. 
 12€ Base game 
 12€ Barbarian/Jester/Series EV/Summoner 
 12€ Nightmare (Preorder) 
 4€ Counterpart Heros 
 8€ Mission Packs 
 3€ Outfits (and one Mission)  
 That's a total of 51€ and there's plenty more DLC to come, which means the game rages in the triple A section...    
Fred_DM: i'll pick up any DLC i don't have yet when it's on sale. 
  Better make ready for some massive investment there ;)
