Versions & DLC

Mahou Arms comes in a Standard Edition and a Digital Deluxe edition on Steam. The Digital Deluxe edition includes all of the planned DLC.

If you've been following along lately, you've probably already seen the designs for some of the outfits:

Standard Edition:

  • Base Game

Digital Deluxe Edition:

  • Base Game

  • Original Soundtrack

  • Founder's Outfit

  • Lilim Outfit

  • White Sailor Outfit

  • Qipao Chic Outfit

  • Emopunk Outfit

Gimme Everything Bundle:

This upgrades the Standard Edition to the contents of the Digital Deluxe edition if you decide to buy the base game and upgrade later.

Planned Localization: Chinese and Japanese

Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese languages will be added sometime post 1.0. Additional languages may be added in the future.

Conclusion

And that should be all. If you have any questions, feel free to yell at us on Discord. We're going back to crunching for 1.0 now, see you soon!

Additional Note

Since people have been asking, we can confirm that if you buy the digital deluxe edition now (which currently includes the base game and soundtrack), the additional DLC content will be added in later.
