Motion Twin and Evil Empire have revealed details behind the 23rd major update to Dead Cells, ‘Whack-a-Mole.’ Featuring new, insanely large weapons, new mutations and a collection of other enhancements, Whack-a-Mole is serving up the goods for free on PC and consoles today. Additionally, Dead Cells mobile DLC, The Bad Seed from Playdigious, is now live on Android and iOS devices for $3.99.
In today’s Whack-a-Mole update, players now have access to three delightfully large weapons: The Oven Axe, The Toothpick, and Tombstone, which, well, is a bigass actual tombstone that kills your enemies dead and leaves your mark on your enemy’s grave. Literally.
New mutations are coming to Whack-a-Mole too: Execution (colorless) instantly kills enemies with under 15% health (the effect is halved for bosses of course) Barbed Tips (tactics) inflicts X damage per second to enemies, per arrows stuck in their fleshy soft bits. Lastly, Point Blank (tactics) allows close range attacks to inflict X% bonus damage. Yowza.
The dev team at Evil Empire are also getting frisky and experimenting with a new difficulty curve, which introduces a slightly new way of increasing the difficulty from one BC to the next. The full breakdown of how this works, in addition to the full list of fixes, enhancements and quality of life changes, is located in the full patch notes (below).
As always, the complete list of updates can be found here:https://dead-cells.com/patchnotes
Winner and nominee for dozens of Game of the Year 2018 awards, Dead Cells is a critically-acclaimed roguelite metroidvania action platformer set within an unpredictable castle packed with dark secrets, game changing items and hordes of deadly beasts. Players face tough risk-reward decisions, building their loadout from an incredibly diverse arsenal of weapons and abilities in the hopes of dodging the castle’s omnipresent threat of permadeath. A steady series of post-launch updates addressing fan feedback has evolved Dead Cells, keeping its action-centric adventure as surprising as it is rewarding.
