Curse words

One of thebest roguelikes on PCis getting a farewell of sorts this week.

Twitchy slashfestDead Cellsreceived its final major update, introducing new enemies, fresh weapons, and a few mutations.

Unfortunately, all this new stuff is very cursed.

The hero of Dead Cells shrugs as he holds his head in a guillotine, with shouting enemies standing nearby, ready to decapitate him.

you’re able to see the new features in the trailer below.

But take even a teeny weeny bit of damage and you are toast.

Enemies like the Doom Bringer and Curser will curse you with their attacks.

There’s also a mutation that increases your damage by 30% if you’re cursed.

The new mobs won’t appear randomly like other enemies, though.

They only appear in biomes marked as “cursed”.

The upside is that all gear dropped in those bewitched biomes will be of a higher level.

They’ve been working on this last blast of goodies for a while.

We’ve since learned this new game is co-op roguelikeWindblown.

Benard later apologised for the strong words butclarified his thoughts.

After eight years and 35 updates, it is simply more so.

I hope that doesn’t happen here.

There will be folks who return to it again and again.

Nobody ever says “dead movie” or “dead book”.
