Version differences

The Emperor Edition includes the base game, Frozen Fangs add-on, the Amplitude Badge, the digital artbook, and digital soundtrack. Owners of Dungeon of the Endless also receive its Deep Freeze add-on. This edition of the game eventually replaced the Classic Edition as the default one.
The Definitive Edition includes the base game and all DLC except the free ones.
The Microsoft Store version is missing the latest DLC (Monstrous Tales) and does not feature the newer franchise branding, implying a possible outdated build as well.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/289130/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (289130) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
