What does the bolded part mean? I have not beat the game, so that is why it probably doesn’t make sense to me.
When you beat the final boss of the game, you unlock the next difficulty. It’s called boss cell level. Monster and boss are harder, some doors unlock depending on the boss cell you have, etc.
I think the true ending is at boss level 5, but I never got that high
I haven’t played in months, but it seems a content update with crossovers is coming
I was wondering what a crossover was so I watched the video.
I see, basically new weapons.
Well, that’s another five bucks they’re getting from me.
6M units sold.
I have to admit that’s much lower than I was expecting. For some reason I always thought of this as a huge megahit. But I can’t pinpoint where I got that impression. Maybe it winning multiple game of the year awards before it ever hit 1.0.
I mean, 6 million puts it in like the top ten indie games of all time by units sold.
Right, I just thought this game was triple-A big, not just indie big. I had the same impression from Hades, and maybe that’s not true either.
Lots of AAA don’t get to sell 6 million copies, either. FIFA, CoD, GTA, they are the exception, not the norm.
Releases on Jan 6th
It could be interesting to go into the game again and treat it as a fresh experience. Just start over. Maybe go in with nothing except a map downloaded from the internet. The game has changed so much since I played it at 1.0 that it should feel like a new game. My problem revisiting it before is that I loved 1.0, so all the changes just felt poor. Maybe now after buying the DLC, I can just treat this new version as a sequel to 1.0.

v10: v1.0 released.
It wasn’t a small game when it was released, so it’s easy to forget how much have grown since then.
Ugh, don’t remind me about how much they’ve tinkered with the game since release. Hopefully all the tinkering is finished after this DLC. For god’s sake, I just want the game to stay the same after a certain point so I can learn the game’s systems without everything changing again.
Eh… you say that, but for me the game’s idea, basic mechanics and feel is exactly the same as in v1.0. You advance through the levels killing shit, avoiding hits, getting new equipment (2 weapons, 2 items) through it.
All the changes I can think of have been positive, and new free stuff is new free stuff.
I last played Dead Cells before its first DLC, so I picked it up for console. It feels so good. I had to put it down after a few runs. I have several other games in this same genre that I want to play without them being spoiled in direct comparison.
I had found the Nail; bouncing for crits seemed ludicrously good. I’m looking forward to discovering all the other additions.
It’s perhaps the best aspect of the game, there are… 136 weapons/active items, 144 soon enough, and there is very little overlap within them, each one has its different style or combos.
There are other roguelites with similar or even superior numbers,but
-They are mechanically similar weapons, with just different stats, OR
-They are pixel art games with very little in the way of animations, so graphically the different weapons are just different sprites with maybe a different particle effect, unlike Dead Cells where each has its own (good) animations.
