MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
Unlike Odin’s Blessing making the game more relaxed and easier, Bloody Moon does the exact opposite.
As you can see from the above list. Ellada Games went above and beyond altering the gameplay mechanics, tweaking them to offer us a brand new thrilling experience.
There is no limit, no quests, it is all about surviving as long as possible. The workshops being upgraded to their highest level here is pretty much the biggest help, that and starting with your trusty fire breathing dragon. The perfect go to in a pinch!
This DLC sells for such a low price, I urge you to buy it just to support the awesome developers, as for the DLC itself, it is more than worth it. Veteran survival players and Niffelheim fans will enjoy this one quite a bit!
Those that bought the game during its Early Access stage, will receive their copy of the DLC for free. Those that didn’t can still buy the DLC at a very low and affordable price.
