Splendid ‘n’ lethal roguelikelike platformer Dead Cells in the present day launches its first paid add-on, Bad Seed. Rather than rising the size of the game, Bad Seed will increase its breadth, including two new ranges as options to 2 early-game murderzones. The verdant Arboretum and bitter Swamp have their very own new monsters too. The DLC additionally provides weapons like a honking nice scythe and… is {that a} lute which makes TWONG! noises once you twat baddies? I’m in.
“The two new levels and their monsters are alternatives to The Courtyard/Toxic Sewers and The Ramparts/Ossuary/Ancient Sewers, with the boss designed to be on par with The Concierge, so hopefully it’ll spice up your early game runs once you’ve played through the core game,” the devs clarify.
Our Matt played a bit of Bad Seed in December and got here away just a little too happy about being chucked at spiky partitions by mushroom males. Strange lad.
Bad Seed is the primary fruit of the curious new Dead Cells improvement association. Dead Cells was created by Motion Twin however, when a few of them needed to maneuver onto a brand new game and others needed to stay with Dead Cells, ongoing improvement was cut up off in August 2019 to a brand new studio, named Evil Empire. As Evil Empire told Waypoint, the brand new studio additionally operates on a brand new enterprise construction; Motion Twin are one of many few uncommon cooperatives sharing energy and income, whereas Evil Empire forged that off and went hierarchical. Evil Empire had been shaped from Dead Cells devs and Motion Twin do nonetheless have oversight, to be clear, so it’s not an entire new factor – simply uncommon.
Evil Empire say that promoting DLC will allow them to “expand the game even more,” and I wouldn’t say Dead Cells was ever poor worth for cash. The new game Motion Twin are making is a thriller for now.
Bad Seed is popping out in the present day on Steam and GOG, priced at £4.49/€4.99/$4.99.
