DragonSword: Awakening Price — Standard & Deluxe Cost

DragonSword: Awakening costs $29.99 USD for the Standard Edition on PC via Steam, with a Deluxe Edition bundle at roughly $44.98. It is a buy-to-play game — a single purchase, no subscription and no gacha — and all 19 playable heroes are unlocked through gameplay rather than paid pulls. Here's what each edition includes and whether the price is fair. ## Standard Edition: $29.99 The Standard Edition costs **$29.99 USD** and includes the full base game: the complete open-world action RPG experience by Hound13. That covers the main campaign, 19 playable heroes, all five factions, endgame Hunts and Raids, and every current feature. Because the game is buy-to-play with no energy system, this single purchase gives you the entire core game with nothing gated behind paid currency. ## Deluxe Edition: $44.98 A Deluxe Edition bundle is available for roughly **$44.98 USD**, discounted from $49.98. It includes the base game plus extra digital content — additional cosmetics, special familiars (mounts), and other packs. If you like what the base game offers and want the cosmetic extras, the Deluxe bundle is the way to get them at a discount compared to buying everything separately. If you only care about gameplay, the Standard Edition already contains everything. ## Optional DLC & Cosmetics Beyond the two editions, individual DLC items range from **$3.99 to $19.99 USD** for optional familiars and character costumes. These are purely cosmetic — the game's progression system doesn't gate anything behind purchases, and there are no loot boxes. Players who want a fully cosmetic-free experience can simply skip them and lose nothing gameplay-related. ## Free DLC: Abyssal Direwolf Shortly after launch, the Abyssal Direwolf familiar is being offered **free to all players** for a limited window (July 23 – August 31, 2026), after which it becomes a paid DLC. If you pick up the game during this period, grab it while it's free. ## Is It Worth the Price? The price is one of the game's strongest selling points. At $29.99, players get what reviewers describe as "everything I wanted Genshin Impact to be" — without the gacha that can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per character in a live-service game. Reddit players consistently say the game is "very well worth the $30," even noting the lower budget is "made up for by pricing at $30." For comparison, a single character in a typical gacha RPG can cost far more than this entire game. If you're coming from Genshin, WuWa, or similar titles, the one-time cost of DragonSword: Awakening is almost certainly cheaper than what you'd spend on banners over time — and you get all 19 heroes through normal play. ## Where to Buy DragonSword: Awakening is currently available on **PC via Steam** at [store.steampowered.com/app/4570720](https://store.steampowered.com/app/4570720/DragonSword__Awakening/).
