Above is the promotional advert of the contents. In a list, you get:
- Official Deluxe Box
- Code for digital version of the game
- Two DLC packs (Dark Pack and Golem's Plight Pack)
- A2 sized poster
- 24 page artbook
- Key ring
Photo of those items out of box:
Unfortunately, they had to fold the poster in order to fit it into the box. It also feels somewhat weird not to have a physical copy of the game in this collector-ish edition.
Official Deluxe Box
For one reason or another, I always feel it lame that the box is specifically noted as part of the Collector's/Deluxe Edition like it is some special thing. If it was a steel cover it wouldn't be so bad. As it is, it's a cardboard box that contains everything.
The back contains some screenshots of the game as well as the contents. It is actually a nice presentation and feels special.
A photo of the front cover which doesn't feel any special artwork, it's the same as the standard cover art for all promotions of the game.
Now a scan of the back which mentions exclusive content to entice the target market.
The Game
As mentioned, there is no physical copy of the game, Child of Light is digital only, which is a shame. As such, you get a flyer which contains the code to redeem the game. Of note is that if you purchase the PlayStation version (Deluxe Edition is apparently only available for PC and PlayStation), it is a cross-buy title and you get the PS3 and PS4 versions together, that's pretty awesome considering that you don't pay any extra.
Please check out this page if you want to read about my thoughts on the game.
DLC
Child of Light launched with seven Day One DLCs, of which two is included here. The Golem's Plight Pack which is an extra quest and playable character; and the Dark Pack which is a new outfit and some items. Buying these two separately would cost about $5 which makes up half of the extra money you pay over just the game alone.
A2 Poster
There is an A2 sized poster of the main character, Aurora. While the art style might not be in your tastes, it's a good size and quality. Only negative is that it has creases from being folded up. The poster was way too big for my scanner so I'll have to make due with just the photo.
Artbook
You get a 24 page artbook which shows off some "unrevealed" artwork. The book quality is good, it's not hardback but made from stiff paper. At only 24 pages, it does feel small and thin. Overall though, it's still a nice bonus. I have included a small 4 page sample below for your viewing pleasure.
Key Ring
The final item in this pack is also the most substantial. It's an Igniculus key ring. Igniculus is the guide in the game.
A sweet bonus I didn't realise until I had it in hand was that it can light up. It uses three watch batteries though but very cool.
Overall
At only a slight premium, you get some nice extras which more than makes up for that price difference. That's not to mention that the game is very good and the whole package is nice. Definitely recommended if you can find this version at a decent price.
