Several new “Lore” rooms and secrets and techniques have been scattered round its Arboretum and Morass areas. On high of that, mob populations, behaviours and degree layouts have been adjusted to assist make these areas rather less punishing, within the goal of creating them make them “feel more Dead Cells”.
The Bad Seed additionally provides two new outfits and eight new achievements, on high of a brand new pores and skin and two extra generalised ‘cheevos for the base game. Finally, there’s a hefty drop of stability adjustments accessible over on the Dead Cells patch notes – with a pleasant little tag gesturing at adjustments urged by the dungeon-delving group. Nice gesture, that.
Not the largest replace, then. But one the devs really feel is a vital one to “flesh out the existing parts of Dead Cells before we introduce new pieces of larger content.”
