Dishonored has emerged as one of the best games of 2012, a very fruitful year that is coming to an end. Bethesda and Arkane Studios, very aware of the success of his game They have wanted to expand and extend the experience offered by this great action / stealth game with your first downloadable content, a DLC that was not intended to expand the main story of Corvo Attano but yes to improve and hone your skills as an assassin, and you pass, to compete against the best brands from other players.


Dunwall City Trials invites us to Polish the skills of supernatural killer in 10 different challenges, and can compare our performance with other players from around the world. Arkane proposes four types of challenge: mobility, stealth, combat and puzzles. Our ability is scored with a valuation of up to three stars, each star obtained will unlock a design in the gallery. When the player gets a rating of two stars, in some challenges you will unlock an expert mode for that challenge. Progress, scores and breakouts are automatically saved in the user settings. It also introduces new achievements and trophies.

The selection of challenges include two sections, normal and expert. We will have to overcome previously 10 challenges available in normal mode to access the expert level. These tests or challenges will have their own rules, for example delete a particular character always chosen randomly within a scenario, sneak into a mansion and retrieve a set of objects, open step fight between rounds of enemies of difficulty increasing, reaching a point as soon as possible, etc. In particular, the challenge of withstanding waves of enemies found me very funny. Random selection of goals has been a great success since it contributes replayability to the challenges, preventing thus memorize tracks or objectives.

We are not going to come to reveal each of the 10 challenges but they are quite varied, they require some skill and they are fun. Once overcome they invite to make another attempt to improve our score or try it on expert level if this challenge in particular has it. The expert difficulty level of some challenges presents the same test but with some variations that made things more difficult. For example, if a scenario we can recover clues that help us locate our victim, in normal mode those tracks will be placed in certain parts of the stage, a fireplace, a room, a piece of furniture... In expert mode the guards take them in their belts. It is just one example of the variations that we have in both modalities.

Scenarios are decorated in different levels of the primary campaign but in the so-called vacuum, the parallel plane where the stranger introduces us to the arts of supernatural killers. These challenges are perfecting the arts of Corvo, its testing ground, something similar to the Metal Gear VR Missions but in scenarios and levels extracted the main mode with real characters, none of the scenarios or virtual enemies.

If you've enjoyed with the broad and flexible combat system that offers Dishonored, this DLC is highly recommended. Forces the player to work harder by making use of the skills and powers of Corvo in a way more accurate and perfect, but also manages to "chop" us to get a higher score and be the best inside his marker global on-line. It is not necessary to have completed the main campaign to access this content.

Dunwall City Trials is the typical extra that should come built into the game from the beginning. Despite this it has a quite affordable and you can get with the 400 Microsoft Points and 4.99 € PlayStation Network and PC.
