Deadliest Warrior DLC available now, adds three characters and new mode

Have you mastered the art of dismemberment on all of Deadliest Warrior's anachronistic fighters? A DLC pack for the game released today has added a handful of new combatants for you to master, including the Rajput, Zande and Shaolin Monk -- three archetypes from the television series that were chosen for the game in an online fan poll.

The pack also includes a medium-range taunt for each of the game's original eight fighters, and a new mode, Skirmish, which lets two players choose four of their favorite combatants and fight the opponent's picks sequentially. The first person to clear out the other player's roster wins, which sounds like a pretty clever way to lengthen the game's typically seconds-long encounters.

The pack is available now for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live Marketplace, and $4.99 on the PlayStation Store.

That monk looks very familiar. Is that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon style he's practicing?

@WonderCaliban

His pose immediately made me think of Xianghua from Soul Calibur.

@WonderCaliban The monk reminds me of The Last Airbender...

@R2D2586

The game is just as bad as the movie you're mentioning.

@Brian Griffin Yup I know 8p

I think this should be free.

@gajoma

Or at least not half the price of the game for less than half as many characters. Why not keep it straight-up $1/character?

@Acosta02

Because you're also getting a new game type, balance patch, taunt animations, 6 costumes, 9 weapons, and new achievements.

That's well worth 5 dollars.

Also seriously joystiq? I tipped this yesterday, the very hour this DLC came out and I don't even get a thank you. :(

@Dauss

The game itself isn't worth $5, let alone the DLC. Seriously.

@Brian Griffin

Have you actually tried the game?

Hmm, I wonder if Spoony will give his opinions on this DLC...

Probably not after Spike Games basically called him ignorant of the main game after he reviewed that :S

@SolidRevolver Probably because he is...

I mean his "retorts" to their comments regarding the development just displayed the guy has no real knowledge of game development or design; I liked his videos [though his "reviews" are just him reading a synopsis of everything that happens with spoilers for 40 minutes] before that, but when he talks about video-games he becomes insufferable.
