Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Edition

Overview

Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Edition is a compilation. It contains:

Dead Cells (base game including the 34 free updates)

No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.

Dead Cells puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what's happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly cursed Island.

Immortal but crippled, your last resort is to take over bodies in order to move, explore… and fight. While you may well be immortal, the corpses you possess are not. Each time your host is destroyed, you will be sent back to the dungeon to find yourself a new one and start again...

Experience a Roguevania, mixing an interconnected world, branching paths and unlockable skills with the constant adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath.

No checkpoints. You either vanquish the final boss in one go or you try again.

However, you keep some of your progress for successive runs new paths you’ve unlocked, access to new levels, mutations, abilities and weapons.

Tough but fair combat, responsive controls, challenging foes, and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble make for a visceral and cathartic action game.

Dead Cells: Rise of the Giant (DLC)

Two new levels, two new bosses and stacks more content to explore and unlock… If you’re good... Real good.After the development of Dead Cells, we were completely blown away by the amazing reaction of the community. Without your support and feedback we wouldn’t be where we are today. Rise of the Giant is our way of saying thank you. Here’s a free DLC with a bunch of new content, mostly aimed at the people who have been hanging around since day 1, it’s high level and should offer more challenge than most sane people would think reasonable.

Features:

· New levels: You’ve got a new level that’s connected to the main level structure and immediately available to anyone who’s finished the game at least once. You’ve got another (poorly) hidden level, for the masochists who know that there is a Boss Cell 5

· New Bosses: Mirroring the above, you’ve got a new completely different type of boss available in the main level structure, with another INSANELY difficult boss hidden behind even more ridiculously difficult content.

· New content: There are 10 new enemies, 13 new weapons/skills and a bunch of other upgrades to core game systems. There are additions to the story/lore of the game, new secrets, new blueprints and…

· Skins: People have been requesting this for ages and we’ve finally found the time to make the necessary changes to accommodate the request. You’ve now got access to female skins, fluo skins and a Christmas tree skin, cos why the hell not.

The difficulty has been rebalanced so that the entry level of the game, while extremely challenging is now in line with the 5 extra difficulty levels available to those who like to suffer. We hope that you like Rise of the Giant!

Dead Cells: The Bad Seed DLC (DLC)

Explore a relaxing Arboretum, wade through a noxious Swamp and take on a new boss in this early game content designed to expand the Dead Cells universe.

So you’ll be able to play through:

· The Dilapidated Arboretum: a relaxing and peaceful greenhouse inhabited by a peaceful clan of mushrooms, with an understandable desire to murder The Beheaded.

· The Morass of The Banished: a noxious environment ruled by a band of tree dwelling mutants with pointy sticks, sneaky dart shooting frogmen and a bunch of deadly bloodsuckers.

· The Nest: Domain of Mama Tick, if you’ve seen Starship Troopers, you get the idea...The two new levels and their monsters are alternatives to Promenade of the Condemned/Toxic Sewers and 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 base game.

Dead Cells: Fatal Falls DLC (DLC)

Take on two new levels and a boss as you dodge new traps and enemies.Take on two new levels and a boss as you dodge new traps and enemies. Try not to fall as you wind your way along the sheer cliffs of the island’s coast. Explore floating shrines, infiltrate the lair of an outlawed secret society and learn the tells of a new boss. This is new mid game content for people looking for alternatives to the Stilt Village, Clock Tower and Time Keeper areas and their parallels.

· The Fractured Shrines: Breathtaking views, kamikaze crows, spear-wielding snakes, sadistic new traps and an endless fall if you slip. What more could you ask for?

· The Undying Shores: Not the beach you had in mind for your time off… Creepy lantern wielding wizards and their shovel brandishing minions. Not at all the holiday you planned...

· The Mausoleum: A new humanoid boss with his own story to tell, tough pattern based combat and a magnificent setting for a showdown. On top of the new areas, enemies and pet sword, you’ll of course need new tools for killing and what we’ve provided here should be particularly effective.

Dead Cells: The Queen and the Sea (DLC)

Battle your way through sunken shipwrecks, scale a burning lighthouse and confront your deadliest foe yet.

If you manage to make it through all that, maybe you’ll finally get off this god-forsaken island...

This late-game content gives you an alternative to the High Peak Castle, Derelict Distillery and Throne Room biomes.

What’s waiting in these new levels?

· Infested Shipwreck: Crawl through the claustrophobic corridors of crumbling wrecks, while seething eldritch abominations hunt you from the shadows.

· Lighthouse: Ascend this soaring tower while fending off the relentless attacks of the Servants and outrunning the hungry flames rising from below.

· The Crown: Try to get off this cursed island by lighting the beacon at the lighthouse summit. However, your past won’t let you go without a fight... This DLC also gives you the usual extras:

· 9 new weapons, including a throwable shark, a trident and a pirate hook hand (eyepatch not included).

· A not-so-cute pet.

· Loads of new outfits.

· New enemies to bash.

A gateway to a striking castle has suddenly appeared, and an imposing warrior called Richter asks you to help him vanquish the great evil within.
