Combat is limited to the Shapeshifter, a form of corruption that Ahriman shapes into the Warrior and the Hunter, meaning that if you thought fighting the Warrior was annoying in the original game, well, be prepared to be annoyed a whole heck of a lot more. When not fighting the Shapeshifter, you'll fight the Mourning King again, more than once. Within the context of the story, it makes sense for the enemies to be recycled from the first game, but at the same time, for ten bucks, you would hope that there would be a little more variety.

In the end, the DLC is really only worth it if you can't stand to see 1000/1250 on your Gamertag. Is it harder? Absolutely—but it's also not nearly as much fun, the witty banter between the Prince and Elika is gone, and the ending leaves the player, and the Prince, wondering just what all of the effort was for. Combine that with the short play time (about two hours) and the recycled enemies and you're left thinking that your ten bucks could have been better spent elsewhere.
