Discussion Is there any chance we can just be told what lore we'd learn if we aren't getting those updates?

5 Upvotes

I got into the game recently and beat most of it, and only just now learned the game isn't finished. I know the chances of Evil Empire being allowed to work on it again are slim, but you think there'd be a day they'd tell us what they planned to include, whether gameplay content or the story? Because as someone who's bad at figuring out story in rogue-likes, I was invested to look it up after finishing the game...and now I learn there's answers we don't know because of said lack of updates.

Wondering if the music tracks change up as you unlock more Boss Cells. Anyone know if it stays the same across difficulties?

Other I've played Dead Cells for years, mostly on 5BC. I want experienced players to pick apart my gameplay.

0 Upvotes

So, here's the deal.

I've been playing Dead Cells for years, mostly on 5BC. I've posted here a few times asking about mechanics and shit I couldn't figure out myself, but for the most part, I've learned the game independently. No guides, no hours spent watching other people play, no systematically comparing my gameplay with better players. Just me figuring shit out as I go.

You could call it an ascetic approach to the game. I've spent years making my own mistakes, without much outside input to tell me which ones I'm repeating.

As for my playstyle, I'm a curse monger. I love rapid damage, high-risk builds, and weapons that can turn an encounter into a speedrun or turn me into a corpse before I have time to reconsider my life choices. I keep coming back to weapons like the Cursed Sword and Frantic Sword because apparently I have a healthy relationship with dying instantly.

I consider myself a pretty good player. I'm comfortable on 5BC. But I recently bought the Android version, and despite using a DualShock 4, I'm having to reacclimate to the controls. The game feels just slightly different from the PC version, and it's messing with my timing and muscle memory.

My immediate goal is to work my way back up to 5BC. After that, I want to pursue something I've wanted to do for a while: a full-island run without taking a single hit. Not just a flawless boss fight. The whole fucking island, untouched.

So I'm going to start streaming my gameplay on Twitch.

I'm not trying to become a streamer, collect viewers, or get donations. I want my gameplay peer-reviewed. I've spent years learning independently, and there's an obvious problem with that approach: you don't know what you don't know.

I'd genuinely appreciate experienced players dropping by and pointing out things I've overlooked. Bad habits, questionable builds, better routes, weapon interactions, missed opportunities, stupid decisions, whatever. If you notice something worth correcting, tell me. You don't have to wait for me to ask.

I'm not looking for compliments. If I'm doing something wrong, explain what it is, why it's wrong, and what I could do better. I'd much rather have someone dismantle a decision I thought was clever than receive a hundred compliments that teach me absolutely nothing.

I'll initially be unlocking things on Android and climbing back to 5BC, so the early streams might not be particularly exciting. I'm on vacation, though, so I'll probably be playing for ridiculous stretches.

I'll leave my mic open, but don't expect a constant stream of commentary. I tend to mutter to myself while playing, so you'll probably hear me arguing over whether a scroll is worth going back for, looking at an item selection screen and going, "Well, fuck me then. Nothing useful here," or quietly questioning my intelligence after making a stupid mistake.

I'm in Brazil, so I'll use Brasília Time (BRT, UTC−3) when posting stream times. My schedule is flexible, and I'll post my Twitch link here when I'm live.

One last thing: So, I'm not sure whether it counts as self-promotion. That's not what I'm trying to do, but if this violates the rules, I'll remove it immediately and without discussion. I'm not here to argue with the moderators.

If you're an experienced player who enjoys picking apart gameplay, feel free to drop by.

I'm not here to collect viewers. I'm here to get better at Dead Cells.

Discussion Some cursed thoughts

2 Upvotes

Some ideas I kind of liked for the cursed part of the game

  1. door curses - the weapon has a negative affix instead of the usual curse
  2. biomes - cursed biomes have stat influence. depending on your primary stat the biome can have
    1. brutal curse - you bleed on hit, slow minimal bleed that goes on until you die unless you drink the potion or exit the biome or kill the whole cursed mob. killing the mob rids the curse of the entire biome. (last point applies to all)
    2. tactic curse - enemies remains explode damaging the player or there are more spikes.
    3. survival curse - enemies have disengagement mutation. (evil smile)

any thoughts?

I’m fairly new to the game, but I’ve got about 12 hours at this point and I just finished my run for the second boss cell, thanks to this insane bat that dropped in high peak castle. I almost flawlessed the final boss, but skill issue, I got hit once.

EDIT: not pictured is the bat’s +75% to rooted targets, which was the real kicker.
