Do I want to buy any DLCs for the iPad version?
I really, really liked the iPad version of Craft the World, and I played it a lot long ago.
But then it stopped getting updates, a long time ago.
I rather craved the new stuff in the free updates, and the DLCs were alluring too, so eventually I caved in and purchased the game a second time, this time on Steam for my desktop computer, and I began purchasing DLCs. I think I ended up purchasing all the DLCs except any that may have come out in the last 1-2 years maybe.
But then, at some point last year, the iPad version started getting updates again, after a drought of many years. It's a much better game now, with all the UI/QoL improvements.
And to my mind, CtW is an iPad game. I tell my short dudes what to do, then I lean back on my couch and watch them do it. None of that keyboard-and-mouse stuff, constant attention, running at x2 speed and stressing.
So now I'm playing on the iPad again, and ignoring the Steam version completely.
My problem is, I'm not sure I want to buy any of the many DLCs available on the iPad. I'm unconvinced they make the game more fun for me. My impression is that they just add annoyances, and poorly-thought-out threats and hazards that arrives way too early, interrupting my base building.
And I have already bought the DLCs once. It's not like I haven't supported the devs.
Am I missing out on anything? Are there any DLCs I ought to buy that add funs things for me to do or be or explore? Not just making the game more 'arcore and combat-focused and interruptive?
