After a very good run of free game updates, Dead Cells is getting its first paid DLC. Matt bought to check out the Bad Seed DLC late final yr and chat with the off-shoot studio Evil Empire who created it for Motion Twin’s hacky and slashy roguevanialike game. The official gameplay trailer for the DLC has landed right this moment with a date subsequent month for its launch.
In December, Matt was impressed with the design for Bad Seed’s new enemies that had been created particularly to pair with the format of the degrees they’re present in. “This is definitely Dead Cells playing to its strengths,” Matt stated. “The game excels once you’ve reached the point where killing enemies hardly even slows you down, chaining jumps into ground pounds into slashes into rolls. It’s more fluid than a glass of water.”
Bad Seed brings new plant-based biomes to Dead Cells: The Arboretum, The Swamp, and The Heart of the Swamp the place large mom tick is ready. Gross. The new areas are supposed to be alternate options to areas already in Dead Cells with the boss being “on par” with The Concierge. You can spot the large two-handed scythe within the trailer above as properly.
The DLC is meant as a dose of selection within the early areas of a run fairly than a must have extension. Matt initially wasn’t certain if that distinction held water, regardless of Evil Twin’s obvious good intentions, so reception will come all the way down to how gamers really feel concerning the addition. Though as Matt already put it in December, a paid DLC after so many free updates doesn’t look like powerful promote. Especially in a singleplayer game the place you’ve no fear of splitting the playerbase, I say.
The Bad Seed DLC is releasing on February 11th for $5 on Steam and GOG. Motion Twin and Evil Empire additionally say in right this moment’s announcement that they’ll be internet hosting a Q&A on Reddit in the course of the DLC’s launch day, so preserve a watch there in the event you’d wish to ask your personal questions.
