Curse of the Dead Gods Free Update Curse of the Dead Cells is Available Now
Curse of the Dead Gods released on Xbox One in February, and since this launch, all of us at Passtech Games have had a fantastic time watching all of you adventuring through our dark temple, getting up to all sorts of shenanigans. We’ve also been working hard on our latest update, the “Curse of the Dead Cells Update”, which we’re about to tell you all about!
The idea of a collaboration with Motion Twin was actually first sparked before the full launch, during the community-supported development of the game, back in October 2020 – what seems aeons ago now. Due to time limits, we chose to prioritize the base Curse content for the launch, which ended up being a blessing in disguise as it let us expand on the content of today’s update.
There are three new weapons in the update: the Broadsword of the Knight, the Sword of Conjunctivius, and the Crossbow of the Condemned, with the latter being a brand new weapon type with a unique cross-combo pattern. With the Broadsword, the second attack and the combo finisher will always score a critical hit. The Sword of Conjunctivius is powerful as hell but take damage once from enemies and you’re temple dust. The crossbow is a slow-firing ranged weapon that does damage in an area around the impact.
Moreover, we have added the iconic Cursed Chest from Dead Cells, with a few alterations. When you encounter it during your runs, you will have to defeat a certain number of enemies without taking damage to unlock its tempting contents: a choice of 3 items (weapons or relics), one of which will always be cursed.
Finally, we added a new curse (Curse of the Dead Gods’ emblematic gameplay changing events) which, alongside a gameplay alteration, gives Curse’s main character, McCallister, Dead Cells’ Prisoner’s iconic flaming head. As for how this new Curse works in-game, we’ll let you discover it!
Translating Dead Cells 2D pixel art into Curse of the Dead Gods 3D models was less of a challenge than it might seem, since we had a lot of references from Motion Twin and Evil Empire. The biggest challenge here was the Prisoner’s head, since it was created for a 2D side-scrolling platformer, and Curse has a top-down camera view. We are happy with the results though, and so are the studios behind Dead Cells!
It should be noted that most of us here in the office are huge fans of Dead Cells, so it was super exciting for us. It was also a good fit from a practical standpoint, because both games have a good variety of cool weapons, and both studios have a love for good combat systems. Besides paying homage to a game that marked the decade for us, our goal with the collaboration was to bring some fresh and surprising content into Curse, combining content from Dead Cells with the mood of Curse to create brand new features and weapons. We hope you all enjoy it!
We appreciate you guys' enthusiasm for Curse of the Dead Gods, and we're hoping to bring more things to the game, even if it is not our priority at the moment!
** These enhancements address issues reported by players and aim to provide a smoother and more enjoyable playing experience. Overall, this content update for Curse of the Dead Gods brings exciting new features, including Blessings and the Scepter of Gods, as well as new environments and improvements. Players can now expect an even more immersive and thrilling rogue-lite experience as they navigate through the challenges of the game..
Reviews for "Experience Thrilling New Game Modes in Curse of the Dead Gods"
1. John - 2/5
I was really disappointed with the Curse of the Dead Gods content update. The new weapons and artifacts that were added felt unbalanced and didn't integrate well with the existing gameplay mechanics. It seemed like the developers just threw in new elements without properly testing or balancing them. Additionally, the new enemy types didn't add any new challenges or strategies to the game. Overall, I felt that the content update was rushed and didn't enhance the overall experience of Curse of the Dead Gods.
2. Sarah - 2/5
I have been a fan of Curse of the Dead Gods since its release, but the latest content update was a letdown for me. The new levels and environments were uninspired and didn't offer any new or exciting challenges. The repetition of the levels quickly became boring, and I found myself losing interest in the game much faster than before. The addition of new weapons and artifacts also felt lackluster, as they didn't bring anything truly unique or game-changing to the table. I hope the developers can come up with better ideas for future updates to keep the game fresh and engaging.
3. Mike - 3/5
While I appreciate the effort and dedication of the developers in releasing new content for Curse of the Dead Gods, I found the latest update to be underwhelming. The new enemies and bosses added some variety to the game, but they didn't feel as challenging or exciting as I had hoped. Furthermore, the new weapons and artifacts seemed unbalanced, and the drop rates for the desirable items felt too low. I believe that the content update had potential, but it fell short of my expectations. I hope the developers can address these issues and deliver more engaging updates in the future.
