Plans for future updates (updated on Sept 6th, 2018)
thanks to New Fang

- they're planning two free DLCs. The first will arrive in November/December and this one was mainly referred to as a balance update, but it sounds like it will also include some other things as well. This is also the update that will improve performance, especially on Switch.

Click to shrink...

- the Second DLC will arrive early next year. This will be a big update including new story elements, biomes, and bosses.

- It sounds very likely they're going to add some toggle ability over the weapons in your available pool, but it will be limited. They don't want to allow people to completely limit the game to a small number of weapons, but they do think allowing people to turn off a few weapons they really don't like would be a good idea. He specifically mentions allowing people to toggle off 6-10 weapons. This might not make it into the game this year, so it could be be part of the 2019 update.

- new weapons and items will be part of the coming updates. A machine gun crossbow is described. A bubble shield is also described and it has some sort of mana system to manage its use.

- lots of tweaks are still being made to weapons and abilities. They're not a fan of nerfs, but some items may get significant reworks to make them more useful.

- mutations will also be seeing tweaks. Possibly even new mutations being added.

Latest patch notes
(It's a doozy)
​

• Community suggestion A vast number of items have been updated to make them more useful or powerful.The idea here was to make many "auto-recycle" items much more interesting.
• New custom game mode released! You can now customize your runs the way you want, like unlocking/relocking items, enabling special gameplay adjustments, changing rules etc. You are under control, have fun :)
• Community suggestion Homunculus skill has been vastly improved: you can now grab your own turrets, cancel a grab, it deals more damage, breaks invisibility etc.
• Community suggestion Most mutations have been reworked & balanced in order to make some of them more useful. See other notes for more details.
• Community suggestion The "mob auto-scaling" mechanic has been removed completely. All the levels now have a fixed "difficulty" that won't adapt to you in weird ways anymore. This affects the game in the following ways:
  
  - in 0-cell mode: things will be a little bit easier (just a little bit)
  - in 1 & 2-cells modes: difficulty is roughly the same as before
  - in 3 & 4-cells modes: you'll have to be really careful to be properly equipped before getting to late levels (picking cursed chests scrolls is highly recommended)
• Community suggestion All the cooldown reductionmechanic has been redone from scratch. The mutations that granted free CD reduction (for active skills and grenades) were removed. They were replaced by 4 new mutations to give you new activeways to reduce your skill cooldowns: by killing enemies in close combat, by killing at distance, by parrying and by dealing critical hits.
  
  For example, one of these mutations reduces all your ongoing skills cooldowns by 2.5 sec for each successful shield parry, and this time value even increases based on your Survival stat.
  
  The one that reduces CD for each critical hit is a new colorless mutationthat will scale on your highest stat.
• Community suggestion Bosses no longer drop Legendary items, but 1 weapon and 1 active skill instead. Legendaries are now "world drop", so you may encounter them when killing mobs or on the new "legendary altars". The level generator has also been adjusted to ensure you find a "Legendary Altar" in most of your runs. You may also get legendaries as rewards of advanced challenges, like beating a boss without getting hit.
• Community suggestion Damage Reduction has been heavily reworked. Most items no longer grant DR anymore, their power has been increased as a compensation. Damage Reduction is not a mandatory strategy anymore and the whole game difficulty has been rebalanced accordingly.
• Community suggestion You can upgrade the Forge with the Collector and unlock the ability to upgrade an item quality more than once.
• Community suggestion Balanced the way money profits/costs scale on higher difficulty settings. Costs now scale faster than profits. Also, Recycling profits are no longer based on the the buying cost of the item, but on its reselling value, which scales slower (TLDR; recycling no longer breaks the whole economy).
• New secret holes can now spawn below your feet. Pay attention to hidden runes in the ground and use your stomp move to break them!
• Most mobs in 4-cells difficulty are now more aggressive: they can teleport, they have a better detection range and they cannot be distracted by deployed traps.
• Community suggestion New challenge doors in transition levels will require you to kill X enemies without getting hit in a row. Their rewards are equivalent to Timed Doors. Note you can get hit before or after a serie of X kills, this won't invalidate this challenge.
• New challenge doors after bosses will grant Legendary items if you kill a Boss without getting hit once.
• Community suggestion Timed doors have all been moved to transition levels. They now offer a multi-purpose reward instead of Scrolls. You can now choose 1 reward for free among 3 (picked among weapons, skills and talismans). Their quality level (+/++/S) is guaranteed, based on the current difficulty setting.
• Healing items (Tonic) & mutations (Necromancy, What doesn't kill me) now heal a percentage of your max life, and this percentage scales with your stats.
• Elites enemies have been reworked. All of them will now have an additional random elite skill in addition of all their normal skills. Expect many different things, from lightning walls, clones or shield pylons.
• Community suggestion Killing a mob while the homunculus is stuck on it no longer triggers the homunculus skill cooldown, allowing you to use constantly, as long as your target dies. If you recall it before the enemy death, it will trigger the penalty cooldown.
• The Achievements are now visible ingame!
• You may now find Legendary Altars in some levels. They grant you a legendary item but you'll have to kill all the nearby enemies first. Version 1.1.2
• Fighter Endurance is a new mutation that increases your HP by a percentage which scales with your Brutality. Version 1.1.3
• Upgrading items in Forge now costs a fixed flat price that doesn't scale with difficulty. Upgrading "from ++ to S" for example should now be more affordable in BC3 & BC4. Version 1.1.3
• The Homunculus will now retract if it touches traps like Spikes. Version 1.1.3
• The 5th money blueprint is now available ingame. Version 1.1.3
• Community suggestion The way the player's HP scales has been vastly rebalanced for Brutality and Tactic. You should have much more HP at higher levels, preventing from being one-shot (if your build is balanced).
  Brutality used to give extra HP until level 14, it now caps at level 45 (30 for Tactic). Version 1.1.6
• Community suggestion Increased HP given for each scroll you pick. The new values are +60% HP for Brutality, +50% HP for Tactic and +70% HP for Survival. Version 1.1.6
• Community suggestion 3 shields are now Survival/Tactic: Punishment, Parry Shield and Knockback Shield. Version 1.1.6

• Vampirism has been redesigned: it now causes bleeding to all nearby enemies and you get free healing when you kill them. It recharges when using your potion.

Reviews:
Trusted Reviews : 10/10

Dead Cells could be the most surprising success of the year. Coming into the crowded Metroidvania genre was a bold move, but one that seems to have paid off as Dead Cells has delivered the best example of the genre in years. The game is deep and rewards exploration, with exceptional combat and so much content it's honestly a little intimidating.

Click to shrink...

Gamespot: 9/10

Dead Cells is a phenomenal effort to blend together some very disparate genres into a tight, cohesive whole. It's one of the better examples of how to remix ideas without losing their individual strengths.

Click to shrink...

Easy Allies: 8/10

Dead Cell's challenging encounters, rewarding exploration and meaningful upgrades mash together in a slick and successful way. While some moments can be frustrating and feel like a bit of a grind, conquering the island and unraveling its many mysteries is a gratifying journey.

[Angie]

Fantastic OT :D

 

[Dussck]

Deadtroid would've been an option too :)

Whenever I finish Hollow Knight this will be my next game to play while commuting

 

[Deleted member 8408]

So ready for this.

Not played it since December last year and I hear a lot has changed/improved.

 

[janusff]

Fantastic OT :D

thanks angie! :D

Another note: If you preorder the game you save 20% on all platforms. (so like 5 bucks)

 

[ActWan]

I wanted to try it on PC, will probably get it later this month.
Great OT!

 

[Sir Guts]

Beautiful OT and a great title. I love how smooth the game looks! Definitely getting it

 

[Jawbreaker]

Great OT! ;]

Are they adding any content with the release of the game? or is it the same content as the early access latest patch?

I really should reinstall it to see how much has changed.

Loved my time with it!

Already pre-ordered and itching to give it as go!

 

[New Fang]

Very frustrated by the two week delay for physical versions. That's certainly one way to treat your customers....

 

[Gowans]

Me and a few mates took advantage of the pre order discount and have this waiting on our xboxes for Tuesday.

Can't wait, looking forward to digging in.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Have this pre-ordered on switch, very excited about it.

 

[WillySJ3]

Great OT.

 

[FiveHandsMusic]

Is it pretty much content complete and ready to go today on PC? i have owned it for a long time but get weird with early access games. I like to play them when they are ready, am I good to go?

All I've found is this piece in the pc gamer article when the "baguette" update dropped in May.

Motion Twin also took this time to announce that Dead Cells will leave Steam Early Access in August. The Baguette Update is "the first of a few smaller updates" coming before the game's proper launch. The previous update, The Hand of the King, which added a new level and a new boss, was the last "major" update Dead Cells will see while in Early Access.

Awesome OT. Can't wait, have it preordered on the Switch. Didn't know about the signature editions, might double dip for a physical edition if I enjoy it and the stock's there. Loved the animated short too, good humour.

Does the Switch versión has an achievemnt system implemented like Hollow Knight?

The PC version has been virtually complete for 2+ months. The most recent updates have been bugfixes and minor balance changes.

They could have just made everyone wait for the physical version to finish production before launching the game. As someone who's buying the Switch version on cartridge, I appreciate that they aren't forcing most of their customers to wait.

 

[SaberX85]

Will pre order on ps4 later. I hope the platinum will not be too hard, perfect game for my ps4 while waiting for death's gambit. Can't wait!

 

[Ogawa-san]

It's been a few months since I played. I loved it but stopped once I realized that, after you had enough cells to upgrade everything you wanted, you didn't really need to kill enemies anymore and just had to ignore them and rush the upgrade pods on your way to the bosses. DId that change?

 

[MissCauthon]

Is this game like rogue legacy where you just keep restarting at the beginning when you die?

Yeah. After the end of every level, you can cash in your cells and upgrade/unlock stuff for the current and future runs.

When can we expect some reviews?

 

[janusff]

When can we expect some reviews?

Click to shrink...

Good question. I don't know. However it seems like every major games site reviewed the early access version last year. I wonder if they'll update their reviews or just post new ones. Here's Polygon for example.

 

[Deleted member 21124]

One of the best games in my Steam library, and I have plenty of content there. Extremly tight and responsive controls makes this a joy to play!

 

[Sevvybgoode]

Is there any substantial graphical difference with the Xbox/PS4 versions over the switch? I've got all 3 and I'm not sure which platform to pick it up on.

 

[New Fang]

If this was just a delay for a physical version to be preduced the gap would have been more than 2 weeks. I have no idea what their strategy was here, but it's definitely not one other publishers use.

 

[hydro94530]

I have avoided anything rogue-related in games up to this point as I've never been a fan of perma-death, but this one is interesting looking so I have a few questions:

- If you die you start back at the beginning but any power ups, shortcuts or anything like that, that you've unlocked is saved right?
- Can you save at save points like you would a Metroid game or do you have to do each run all at once and the only save point is essentially the beginning of the game?
- Is this procedurally generated or is the whole game handcrafted?

Sorry if these have been asked or are easy to find answers for but thanks in advance.

If this was just a delay for a physical version to be preduced the gap would have been more than 2 weeks. I have no idea what their strategy was here, but it's definitely not one other publishers use.

Sure they do. The Wind Waket HD launched digitally two weeks early on Wii U. Yoku's Island Express launched around three weeks later in physical form earlier this year. It's not super common but it happens.

Okay, yeah, you found a couple examples over the years.

I've waited and hope for Rogue Legacy 2 for so long, I'll settle with this game instead.

Axiom Verge Switch physical is another. Sometimes physical production schedules don't align perfectly with launch day planning. This isn't a case of launching the game digitally and THEN deciding to do a physical version, which would take a couple months.

I think I'll wait those two weeks for the physical edition, but what a bummer

Great OT! been very interested in this game for a long time. Bought on switch so hopefully performance is good.
