I'm a Kickstarter backer. We _all_ got this DLC for free. Don't buy it, check your backer page for the key. This is for those who DIDN'T back the kickstarter, and don't mind paying a little extra for the bonus. If you did buy the DLC by accident because you overlooked the DLC key, I'm sure GOG will refund you the purchase if you explain what happened.
Where is the content for the DLC? See the quest giver in the town. Find and kill the Iga demon and get the swordwhip. It's that simple. But where is Iga, you say? Have fun exploring! :)
So glad they make this available for everybody and not just for backers.
The price tag might be "high" (it's not) but this was meant to be a backer only rewards, and not for all backers, just for the $60+ tiers, but they decided that everybody can have it respecting the original extra money the backers give during the kickstarter.
It is really awesome behavior!
It's kind of a way to retroactively back the game if you missed out on the campaign. After the Mighty No.9 debacle, I swore to never help fund another game in my life, and naturally I missed out on these backer exclusive items. What you get with this is simply that, access to these items for around the same amount of what I assume is a standard kickstarter pledge of 10 bucks.
Fair warning, if you are planning to buy this to have a cool sword from the beginning of the game, THIS IS NOT WAT THIS DLC PROVIDES.
What you actually get with this is an additional quest that you can get from Lindsay, the old woman that hangs around the main hub between the two descending stairs that lead into Dominique's/Anne's and Johannes' rooms; the quest can only be completed after you've succesfully defeated one of the final bosses in the game. The task you are given is to fight and defeat the creator of the game itself, who will now appear as a boss in the late stages of the game. The Sword Whip is intended as a weapon you'll get to use as part of the 'end game content', so to speak.
*Spoilers ahead*
To find IGA, after defeating Gebel with the Zangetsuto to the get the good or bad ending instead of the, uhm... weird one, all you have to do is reenter the boss area where Gebel was and he should show up for a fight.
*Spoilers over*
Once you've defeated IGA, go back to Lindsay in the main hub to claim your reward.
So, how does the sword perform? Pretty good I'd say. It isn't the best in the game by any means, but it can be handy in a backup slot for dealing with enemies that tend to move around out of range a lot. It has a decent damage output too. A quick tap of the attack button will make it do a short, non-extended attack, while holding the attack button will make it do an extended whip-like attack.
If you want an extra weapon and boss fight and don't mind the 10 dollar price tag, then you should get it; otherwise, you don't really miss out on much.
I was not a backer of this game as I had no idea that it existed until 3 weeks ago, however I'm very grateful to be able to recieve certain backer bonuses and I'm more than happy to pay for them and support this game in any way I can. I'm glad that the backers are ok with this too, thank you all. Now, I'm off to search for the IGA.
