So cool they made it a brand new Castlevania story and all

Yes finally glad they decided to

dead cells wore out its welcome really hard

I fucking love dead cells

Newest Castlevania. Glad if Konami was too lazy to make one, that they were smart enough to give it over to someone who could

Too bad it's only a collaboration game. Meanwhile, Konami has been lazy with updating Castlevania Grimoire of Souls.

Man the graphics look like SHIT

The expansion, set to be released on March 6, will include two new biomes (areas), Dracula's Castle and its outskirts, as well as two new characters: Richter Belmont and Alucard.

Other iconic assets from Konami's classic Castlevania series included in this DLC are weapons like the Vampire Killer, throwing Axes, Holy Water, etc., and enemies such as Bone Throwers, Knights, Mermen, etc., including many iconic bosses from the series and culminating with the greatest of them all, Count Dracula himself.

The expansion will also feature over 60 iconic Castlevania music themes, including both original and remixed versions, with well known tracks such as "Vampire Killer", "Bloody Tears" and "Divine Bloodlines", just to name a few

Looks cool

more dead cells is always good

I'm still having a good time with it, tbh.

it's great until they decided your "reward" for getting boss cells is not being able to heal anymore

I missed alucard. It's been a long time

Sounds like you need to stop getting hit.

You can still refill your flasks in health shops. And ever since they reworked gold/the economy you always get enough gold to buy extra health while still having enough to buy weapons and skills every couple of biomes.

So there's no Castlevania post Soma's story yet?

Looks fun, I stoped playing deadcells but this expansion would be a good opportunity to get back into it.

ah yes, the old "the game has no flaws, your (sic) just bad" card

Bump for all the fans. I missed alucard

I mean that isn't a flaw though. The game's difficulty is designed around not getting hit. I'm pretty bad at it too, but I think it's great.

You guys will be happy to see Richter and alucard in a new story

I've stopped playing after reaching 4 BC because I couldn't git any guder. But I've been meaning to get back to it after they reworked the malaise mechanic to be less punishing.

Kinda this I want to like it but why does it look so ugly and pixelated and just... not good.

Maybe I should pick up my order of ecclesia playthrough where I left off with the gun wielder, think it was albus

Sounds pretty revolutionary

Those are just the graphics for Dead Cells

this looks like mostly a Castlevania themed standalone expansion to Dead Cells

In one of the dev diaries, they explained that the 3D model is created first which they then pixellate & turned into this 3D/retro/sprite hybrid.

Personally I think it's unique (in a good way).

I just used Assist mode to make it more manageable, no shame in it. The last biome was still pretty challenging,

Yeah there's nothing wrong with using.assist mode. I mean if the developers thought having assists turned on was wrong they wouldn't have included them. Now I wish From Software would include such options in their souls games. Just so more people can get into them

i dun understand what makes the dead cells guys light everything like a quake 2 map. fuck off, its so ugly

I don't often play pixel games anymore as now the graphics bother my eyes a lot and stuff. And it's 2023, not the 90s. But rarely I'll put time into a pixel game. I will play the Castlevania dead cells when it releases just because I love alucard and the Castlevania universe

Y'all care way too much about graphics. The game is fun as hell, that's what matters.

Its just a dlc for dead cells?

yeah another expansion. They do "big" DLCs that add a few new areas / routes / bosses / weapons / updates every time as opposed to smaller DLCs.

New day new Castlevania bump.

I finally unsubscribed from humble monthly so I could buy a game I actually want like this one

I love rogue likes but I've never got to play this one because I was trying to limit my spending

Maybe Konami should just let them make an actual Castlevania. I mean this is cool and all but Its not exactly a new game.

Well Konami is too lazy to make a new Castlevania that's why they handed out their assets of Castlevania for dead cells creators to make new one. I mean it has alucard and Richter in it and a new Castlevania side story. That's the closest we may ever get to a new Castlevania

Hope you all are well
