Shelter 2 Mountains DLC & Packages

This DLC is completely worth the money if you love Shelter 2! It provides so much more to the base game, and gives you the ability to have more hours of gameplay. It adds new enemies and settings to explore. The map is absolutely massive, and totally gorgeous. I personally love the hawks and foxes the most. They are terrifying threats, but also provide another element of nature that I had no idea this game was missing! If you like exploring or need more of a challenge for Shelter 2, this DLC is the prefect addition!

This adds a unique area for Shelter 2. But, unfortunately, I don't recommend it strongly. But, I'm still recommending it because I don't feel like I would fully say that I disliked it. Well, first off, it's nice when you first get there, but unless you don't have your cubs, it's almost impossible. "Oh, but Fangirl! You just can't play the game properly!" Really? Then please do let me see how to play the game, in your definition, properly. First off, lets go over the good things about it: It's lovely to explore. A few more animals to the game. Adds more challenges. Cheap. Fun. Large map. And then, there's the things I think are bad about it: The bears don't react properly to the cubs. Unless I'm just the only one experiencing this, it's when the bear just slides on over to your cubs, while they're extremely far away. It's confusing, the map doesn't help guide you through this, because there's either mountains there, or it's a drop. I can't seem to find enough bunnies to feed 4 cubs. They're normally gathered in groups, nearby each other, but for me, they're way to far away from each other to keep 4 cubs well fed. Hate me if you will, I give this a 6/10.

If you are ready for the extra challenge, this DLC makes the game even more realistic and fun! Shelter 2 Mountains is absolutely amazing! If you have the original game, you'll see it's pretty easy-going after you become a pro at catching food and evading wolves. This adds a whole new area to explore (without the DLC there are only 3 areas) with new predators - eagles, bears, and foxes - to keep you on your toes and test your skills as a wild lynx mother! With the DLC you can also experience beautiful views of the northern lights - a perfect addition to an already perfect game. I highly reccomend this DLC to all Shelter 2 lovers!

Amazing. With the new Predator/Prey animals it adds to the already amazing world of Shelter 2 you really become more protective over your kittens taking into consideration that a Fox could appear out of nowhere and possibly escape with one of your kittens or a Eagle can just suddenly dive down upon one of your kittens and fly away with it if you don't pounce on it in time. 10/10

I was really excited for this and am pleased to say i am awed by the scenery and new music. The only down side i have met already is i haven't actually seen any bears or foxes yet. It may be because i dont have any kits, but i would like to see them like you do the wolves with or without kits. Despite that the new thunder made me jump out of my headphones, making it feel deadly close. It sent shivers up my spine and made me suddenly aware of what ever this new DLC has in secret. I can't wait to keep going in my family tree and see how far i can really go.

Alright let's see.. Day 1: Just hanging around the den, feeding my cubs so they can stronger then I would go to the mountains. And while I was hunting.. Out of no where, I heard a screech. I knew that screech from the last game... And I was terrified. I stood still, not sure of what to do, the eagle swooped down and scooped up my red cub, Tiga. I panicked and jumped, killing the eagle by accident. Day 2: Arrived in Mountain area, had to camp due to night time. Day 3: Hunting is hard with trees everywhere.. I see a river, but I have no idea how to cross it. Day 3 - Afternoon: I was trying to feed a quail to my cubs, but they refused to eat it, I thought this was a glitch so I took a bite out of it myself and stopped, they still didn't eat it. I gave them a rodent, they still didn't eat it. I kept trying to feed it until I heard the terrifying roar of a bear.... Then I ran like bat-shit crazy. I couldn't see the bear, trees were blocking my view but I could hear the breathe and stomp... It was chasing me. I prayed to the lynx lord that the cubs were ok. But then suddenly.. It stopped. it seemed like the bear had gave up or got distracted. 10/10 was able to scare the shit out of me.

I certainly love this DLC, expecially with how we can kill the eagle. That's what you get for taking my cubs all those times in the first game, haha! But in as much seriousness as I can muster, this was a great addition to the game. I always thought the mountains looked beautiful in the Tundra and Main areas. With being able to explore them now is so cool! Bears, grouse, eagles, foxes, forest fires..man, those cubs never get a break from danger, do they? And since they're not just added to the mountain area, it really adds to havong to watch your back. Most people seem to complain about there being a lack of danger, and I recommend that if you think that, to get this DLC. Eagles can attack right when your cubs leave the den, right along with the fox and forest fires, add that to the blob/flood, and the Main area is no longer the safe place we thought it was. EVERY area gets infected with new dangers, and it truly makes the game scarier. So if your up to the new dangers, then I think that the Mountains are totally worth the money it costs.

-Finaly get the DLC, I was so exited! -Open the game and start a new family before realizing that I would have to go though the intro again. That's fine. I could wait. -I give each of the cubs silly and stupid names that make me love them even more. Gravit, Tiga, MudFis, and Show. -I feed the cubs until they are strong enough to travle with me to the mountains. -Hunting in the mountains was bad. I sware the rabbits knew all of my tricks. -Tiga colapses, and soon Show does too. -I could only find one rabbit, and they don't share. R.I.P Show. T_T -Summer becomes Fall and I hear a screech that I know too well. -I flip out and run to a bush to hide with my cubs. The eagle, however, has X-ray vision and snaches Mudfis. -I was terribly sad for a moment before i realized that it couldn't take off, so I charged it and gave the Eagle some much needed payback. -Still fall, when my cubs stop eating just as ominous music begins to play quietly in the background. -I grab one of my cubs and run, hopeing that the bear didn't see me or my other two cubs. (luckly it didn't) -Spring comes and my cubs grow, so i fell more relaxed and stop looking for food every single moment of my life. -I was hunting deer when Gravit colapsed. only two cubs had come when I got the kill. -I fliped out (again :p) and serched despretly for a rabbit or mole, but I had scared them all away. R.I.P Gravit T_T -The rest of my cubs survived and the game ended the same way it always has. 10/10 would have a panic attack again.

I actually jost got the DLC today. So, there are some amazing add ons and it's for sure worth $5. I had an account I was playing on with my red lynx named Velvet, (by the way, Velvet had three cubs left-- Waffle, Wafer, and Mango). I got the DLC and instantly got on, super excited. Since my three surviving cubs were old enough to explore, we left for the mountains around mid-afternoon. When I was making my way to the mountains, I heard a terrible screech while chasing a rabbit. I dropped the bunny I had killed and ran for my cubs. The massive eagle snatched my little Wafer, and, panicing, I leaped for the heavens and somehow managed to get the eagle. I watched with satisfactopn my cubs eat, remembering when my little Honey the badger cub was snatched. We entered the mountain region and were greeted by a beautiful autumn forest. I was exploring around with my cubs when the music stopped. I became suspicious immedietly and paused, calling my cubs. I didn't see anything. Soon enough, I slowly proceeded. Then, I rounded a corner, my scent sight on. I saw it. A huge, hulking brown figure was sniffing the ground. I knew it was a bear. The bear looked up at me and started walking towards us. I grabbed the nearest cub and dashed out of the forest. Luckily, we all made it. Night came and it snowed, signalling the start of winter. Assured that the bear was gone, I ventured with my cubs through the forest and came to a river covered with ice. I saw some pheasants and some rabbits, which, if anyone else is a lynx mom, when they're cubs, it's basically priority number one. I decided to travel across the ice. We walked slowly, me calling my cubs eveyr few seconds as the music was eerie. We were around half-way over the ice covered river when I saw some deer a bit away! I made my way towards them. When I reached the land, I was walking for a bit when I heard a twig snap. I froze and called for my cubs. Whirling around, I saw a lithe red fox standing still, watching me and my cubs with interest. I ran after him but I ran out of stamina, however I managed to get it eventually. The rest of my story is simple. I ventured to a waterfall with my little cubs, who, eventually, were not so little. But there is always a time when they must go. For me, that's the hardest part. As the hills turned yellow and red for the last time, I remembered my little lost cub. She never had the chance to live with her siblings. I stayed still as my cubs froze, flicking their ears. Velvet laid down and my three cubs started walking away. I said, "We are a family my children." Before they broke into a run and left me. Back at the den, I woke that morning to the memories of now and when the cubs were born. Strong memories they were. I followed the stars to, what I believe, was my lost cub leading me to the afterlife. That was Velvet's story, the little red lynx cub who grew from a sassy little hot head to a full grown adult who wondered, "Is this what my mother felt when we left?" That is one of my favorite things about Shelter 2. I get the watch my children grow and hear their stories too. My little babies will have their own parenthood one day. But I will not be their to see that day. As, following what I believe, Velvet has passed, but will be with her loved Hazel, who she couldn't save in time. There is the good and bad to every story, but what seems bad may not be so. 10/10 Edit: Welp. I reread this 3 months later. o_o

Just wanted to share my experience on a 1st time playthrough of Mountain DLC in survival mode. Killed 1 Fox before even REACHING the mountain. Lost 1st cub to starvation when 2 bears scared off all prey Lost 2nd cub to a fox while trying to feed a downed cub Lost 3rd cub to starvation while trying to save a fox stolen cub ... Kir and I survived the winter, growing fat on grouse and rabbits. A lightning bolt struck in spring, knocking me out and killing her instantly. 9/10 will survive (or not) again! P.S: This game all but DEMANDS a mode like nurture; give us the option of extending our experience please! More time to bond with these cubs and get the full experience of the maps is a must. There's also a big demand for more skins that could easily be tied into the existing system: let the unlockable skins give new skin types for the cubs as well! That and the absence of actual "shelter"function with this games caves are my only crticisms. Do a stuff pack with those features and I can see the next expansion being worth twice as much easy!
