Dead Cells Receives Significant Update With New Game Mode

News: If you haven’t played Dead Cells in a little while you might want to go back and try out the new features.

Motion Twin has just revealed that Dead Cells has just received a pretty significant update that you are going to want to check out. It includes the release of an all-new custom game mode that allows players greater control over how they want to play the game. The new custom game mode gives you the ability to unlock or re-lock items, enable special gameplay adjustments and changes up the rules of play for enhanced flexibility (and more fun.) Additionally, today’s update removes the “mob auto-scaling” mechanic completely: all levels now have a fixed difficulty which affects the gameplay differently depending on what mode you are on.

Dead Cells latest console patch also re-balances the way a player’s HP scales for Brutality and Tactic, so players at higher levels will have vastly more HP, preventing them from being offed via a one-shot. Tactics HP levels have been raised to 30, and Brutality’s HP cap has been raised from level 14 to level 45.

Switch users can look out for the long-awaited “60 FPS everywhere or death!” update which, took much longer than expected due to technical hurdles, but now runs as smooth as a hot knife through butter. Fans of the PC version have already patched these updates into their builds with the PC release late last year.
