New Tactic mutation: Tactical retreat.Stick an arrow in two or more enemies to make them share the damage they take. Dodge to place up to nine caltrops on the ground, damaging and slowing enemies. The chance of random cursed chest in each level has also been updated. Fewer Curse Chests : While we do think it’s great mechanic, being forced to open all the curse chests to not fall behind on the curve (BC3+) can be frustrating.Explorer Instinct: A new rune, which reveal the whole map and its points of interest (scrolls, chest, merchants, etc.) when you’ve explored most of the level.We hope that this upgrade will help with that. The first part of Dead Cells can be very tedious without any skills and the stat points that come with it. Replace the starting gear with four set of 5 random items (melee, range, shield and two skills). Recycling Tubes: A new meta upgrade, unlockable when beating the Hand of The King for the first time in BC1.Find four of them to make a whole triple scroll! Scroll Fragments : These are “quarters” of scrolls, called fragments, which began to appear at BC3+.Both biomes are now very short, thought as challenged areas with one cursed chest at the beginning.

It’s full of content that is all of supremely high quality. Wrapping Things Upĭead Cells: Return to Castlevania is the dream DLC I never knew I wanted for one of my favorite games of the past decade. The only negative is if you do not have any late-game save file, or at least one with the base abilities unlocked it will be a while before you can ever reach Dracula. He’s weak to start so you’ll need to clear out the Castle thoroughly to get him ready to finish off Vlad Țepeș once and… for now. The control scheme swap for Richter mode took some getting used to and activating him only happens late in a run. A lot of work went into this and all of it is Dead Cells at its best. That zone is changed up to match the DLC and it looks sick. After defeating the first mini-boss you’ll be tasked with doing a typical run of the game and heading for a specific zone. The DLC itself is broken up into two parts essentially. Alucard, Simon, Richter, Sypha, Dracula, and over a dozen more are available to unlock as new looks. Finishing things off content-wise are 20 new outfits to find and unlock. They’re all callbacks to the series and fit perfectly with the enormous amount of content available in Dead Cells now if you own all of the DLC. There are a lot of new weapons with six new melee weapons, three ranged, one shield (you know which one), and three new powers. Each area gets its own track and they’re all fantastic. Hell, even if you don’t care for Castlevania and know nothing about it the music is so damned good that I found myself bopping along to it. The first time you load up the new DLC you’ll be met by Richter Belmont, follow the bats and you’ll enter the Castle’s Outskirts and the music pulls you in with all its beautiful nostalgia. The expansion is expertly weaved into the flow of a Dead Cells run. There are ten new mobs, two mini-bosses, and the main man himself Dracula. Richter Mode which changes up Dracula’s Castle.The new weapons, enemy types, areas, and bosses are all excellent. It is absolutely worth every penny if you love the base game, whether you care about Castlevania or not. This expansion costs $9.99, which is double the norm for Dead Cells. Dead Cells X CastlevaniaĭLC reviews tend to be short so I’ll get right to it. Motion Twin has made one of my favorite games of all time even better. Almost all of the big names from the Konami classic show up in-game or through a dozen+ outfits. The new monsters and loot look and feel great. The music is fantastic, a staple of the Castlevania series. That’s my impression after playing the new Return to Castlevania DLC for five or so hours on PC. Dead Cells might be the greatest Castlevania game ever made. ![]()
