Update 1.5.6 - Corrupted Update (07 November 2019)

Balances paths and biomes, add 1 new meta upgrade, 1 new rune, 3 new tactic mutations and 1 new challenge biome.

Hello everyone,

We're super stoked to announce that our fifteen update has just reached live. You can find the full patch notes here, but I will give you a rundown of the main additions brought by the Corrupted Update.

Alternatively, if you prefer watching to reading, there is the 5 minutes vlog linked above showing the fancy new things in action and explaining our reasoning behind the changes.

New Content:

New challenge, optional, biome:

The Corrupted Confinement, which mirrors the Prison Depths. You can access it from the Toxic Sewers, and it will lead to either the Ancient Sewers or the Ramparts (BC1 door). This biome is very short compared to the others, and has a guaranteed cursed chest at the beginning. Prison Depths structure has also been updated to be similar. Beware of the blue birds, they ain't kidding around.

New Meta upgrade:

Given as a reward for beating the Hand of the King in BC1, the Recycling Tubes replaces the random starting gear. Instead, you will get the choice in-between 4 sets of 5 items (Melee weapon, Range Weapon, Shield and 2 skills). Choose wisely.

New Rune:

Explorer Instinct reveals the point of interests on the map once you've explored the majority of the level. It will help you if you're like us and can't stand to let a tiny bit of a platform unexplored, and regularly waste time backtracking only to find... nothing.

3 new Tactic Mutations:

Crow's foot allows you to let caltrops behind you when you roll, slowing and damaging the enemies. Tactical Retreat slows all enemies around you on a perfect dodge. They also won't be able to inflict you Malaise during a few seconds. Finally, Networking make all the mobs with projectiles stuck in them share damage.

Balancing:

While adding new content to the game is always great, The Corrupted Update is actually mainly an overall balance of the biomes and paths. With these new changes, we try to prevent a biome or a road to become a clear unquestionable better choice than its counterparts. To this end, all biome difficulty and scrolls count has been balanced.

We've also drastically reduced the amount of cursed chests in the higher difficulty levels, but we've also buffed the colorless weapons by making it scales with your forge tiers (no more thousands of golds wasted to improve it to S-quality) as well as making the bonus stats always be of your main color.

The decision to removed lots of cursed chests was mainly motivated by having to prevent the colorless weapon from making the color system irrelevant if they were too common (remember the 1.1 legendaries?) but also because we think too much cursed chests kinda spoil the uniqueness of what's supposed to be very tense moments. And it does encourages scouting, cheesing and backtracking, which can be cool but also break the momentum of the run and lengthen its duration.

We added fragments of scrolls to be found in biomes to make up for the loss of the stats points that were brought by the cursed chests, and adjusted the health of bosses to make sure you don't spend 10 minutes in a tedious fight against them. The curve should be more coherent now, with an easier beginning thanks to the new meta upgrade but a slightly more difficult mid game (compared to before where every mobs were one-shoted).

We hope that the changes will please you, but in any case, don't hesitate to let us know.

Now, a quick announcement to end up this news! We have partnered with Level 99 Games to add the Beheaded to Exceed, a super cool card game inspired by fighting video games. We really hope our little guy will be completely overpowered compared to the other fighters available, but Level 99 isn't bad at balancing its roster, so the hope is thin.

All the art was done by David Thor Fjalarsson, who also did the key art for the Corrupted Update!

If you're interested, you will be able to buy it here: https://www.level99games.com/shop/the-beheaded-solo-fighter or here: https://www.level99games.com/shop/solo-fighter-bundle

Cheers, EE and the MT team.

Update 1.1.12 (05 February 2019)

Bug fixes

Fixed language mod upload
Updated some texts translations

Udate 1.1.10 (22 December 2018)

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 reduction mechanic 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 active ways 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 mutation that 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.

Update 1.0 (7 August 2018)

Lore

The "lore" addition to the game is our first attempt at giving a little more information about the universe to players. You'll now encounter a bunch of random rooms as you explore the world, in them you'll find the inscriptions of former occupants, their corpses or maybe even the odd survivor.

Mod support improvement

We really, really wish to push this forward and make sure you've all the tools you need to make your own take on Dead Cells. As mentioned in a quick news recently, we greatly improved the mod support to give more freedom to our friend modders. However, it also means most of the previous mods won't work anymore.

The new additions include:

You can now create your own world design. For instance, let's say you think The Remparts should link to The Clock Tower, because it seems more coherent, well, now you can. This also allow you to plug in the current world design any custom level you may have done. Or create your own World Design with only custom levels. Your call! You can now create a custom level based on the parameters of an already existing level or set the parameters from scratch. When building it, you have the option of importing an pre-existing roaster of monsters from another level or make a mix. A new tool, the ScriptTool, will generate a default script with comments and basic exemples to get you going.

Twitch Integration

We've been beta testing with this feature for the past few weeks with the help of a few streamers. It's now live on the main branch for everyone.
Captain Chicken: randomly chosen among willing viewers at the beginning of each level, he is in control of your health potion. When the player hit the heal button, Captain Chicken receives a whisper Twitch asking for a heal, which he can provide by writing "heal" in the chat. "Noheal" allow to reject the request of the twitcher.
By default, Captain Chicken can also heal the player without any request, but it can be disabled. Finally, every words wrote in the general chat by this viewer starting with @[name of the twitcher] will appear in-game as if it was said by the bird.
If the twitcher sends 3 healing requests without getting any response (heal or noheal), the chicken is reset, and another viewer can apply for this role. The viewer can also type "resign" to leave its role. As a failsafe, you can also manually banish the current Captain Chicken from the menu, in the Twitch Integration settings.
Twitch Boss: A random viewer selected from those who volunteer will be able to add a bit of challenge during the boss fights by typing specific commands in the chat. Maybe consider disabling it if you're not quite comfortable with the combat yet.

Scrolls: Viewers choose between brutality, tactics, and survival.

Twitch Chest: Only viewers can open the chest, by writing "boom", "poke" or "bing", etc. in the chat
Amulets: Viewers can vote for a permanent upgrade to add to it between each level
Gameplay modifiers: Between each level, viewers can vote to apply a gameplay modifier for the next level (enemies drop a bomb when dying, health began to drop after a while without killing an enemy, etc.)
I saw a secret!: Viewers can type "secret" in the chat to tell the player they spotted a secret thing on screen. Enable only when the player missed a secret.
Praise/taunts: Viewers can praise or taunt the player on specific events (death, boss battles, timed doors, etc.)
Do it! or Nope: In specific situations, viewers can encourage (or not) the player to do special things, like opening a Cursed Chest.
Next level: Viewers can recommend a specific exit in the current level (like "sewer" or "roofs"). The player may or may not comply, depending on its equipments and own opinions :)
New Sub: A new sub always deserves a little celebration!

Important features

The Castle is a whole new level for you to explore, and die into.
A new final boss is now waiting for you at the end of the game. Be prepared for an epic battle! Note: "final" doesn't mean last fight boss planned in Dead Cells ;)
All grenades items are now Brutality items first. Some of them can be dual-colored with Tactics or Survival.
[Community suggestion] The hero HP scaling has been balanced. Points invested in Survival give more HP than points in Brutality, and these ones give more HP than points in Tactics. It's not a huge difference, but the idea is to make sure that Survival builds have a little bit more HP than Tactics for example.
