During Halloween I played the DLC for Costume Quest; Grubbins on Ice! Costume Quest is a cute adventure role playing Halloween game were you play as children “trick-or-treating”. As you start the game you choose to play one of a twin couple. The one you choose gets a robot costume and the other one gets a candy costume. Candy eating monsters shows up and tries to take all candy and kidnap the candy dressed kid! Now you have to find and rescue your sibling. On your way you need to get help from other kids, collect more candy (you can trade with candy), find new costumes and fight monsters.
The DLC, Grubbins on Ice, is basically the same except that it’s not halloween. It’s winter and the kids find a portal to the monster world, Repugia. In Repugia one of you friends is taken by the monsters and it’s up to you to take her back!
The kids are adorable!
Behind every door while trick-or-treating could be either a nice person who gives you candy or a evil monster you need to fight.
In a fight the children become their costume and gets the fighting power and ability that fits that costume!
The fighting system is easy. It could be; press a specific button at the right time, press one button repeatatly or move the left stick.
There’s eleven costumes to get in Costume Quest and three in Grubbins on ice. There is a Ninja costume! Whoo! ^^
As said before, all costumes have a special attack/ability they can use in battle. Some is defensive and some offensive, ex the Statue of Liberty can heal the party, the Fighter can put up a shield to protect a party member, the Space warrior summons a giant asteroid that damage all enemies.
The absolute funniest attack in the game is the special attack; Eye-agra falls… (LOL) ^^
Some of the costumes have abilities you can use while exploring, ex if you wear the fighter costume you can use a shield to protect you from falling objects, the Ninja costume let you sneak around unnoticed and the french fries costume can be used to lure people to follow you.
All in all a game you really need to play! The DLC is really short (a bit to short if you ask me – I want more), you can finish it in about three hours.
X marks the spot!!!!!!! ^^
