I mean, I imagine they'll continue to add to it. It's playable now.
I edited my post because I realized it doesn't release until next week. I haven't played in a while but I will wait until then.

I think Rogue Legacy is one of the more sensible comparisons and I also think Dead Cells outclasses RL in every possible way.Would you guys say this is better or just as good as Axiom Verge in its Metroidvania-ness?
How about Rogue Legacy?
So this got me back in the mood to play the game, which I haven't touched in several months.
Giant Bomb said the same issue affects the PS4 version. They think it's happening when new parts of the level are loading.I see that framerate drop on the Switch version.
Come on, man.
I am away from home this week for work stuck in a shitty hotel. Brought my switch and have it pre-ordered. Hoping it unlocks at a reasonable time on the 7th & I can get the switch on this shitty guest WiFi to unlock it!
Dodging I can handle, as long as the enemies telegraph their moves even a little bit. The video I was citing showed a player performing parries in rapid fire, which led me to be unsure if it was an action or a buff of some piece of equipment.Afaik you need a shield to party, and doing so stuns enemies and gives some buffs depending on your shield. But it's not necessary. You can use melee weapons, ranged weapons, grenades and traps.
You do need to know how to dodge, though.

After playing 50+ hours of binding of Isaac on various platforms, it still annoys me how opaque everything is, and how I need to reference a wiki just to find out what every pickup does.
It's one of the reasons why I really like Enter the Gungeon a few hours in.
Which side does Dead Cells lean toward? More obfuscation or clarity in what pickups do?

I don't think this has anything to do with resolution, scaling, or Big Picture Mode. A bug was introduced with the last update that breaks the pause menu when you use pixelated fonts. It's pretty annoying.Does anyone play on a 4k tv via steam big picture? I have the problem that in the pause menu "reset" and "quit" are offscreen :/ is it the windows scaling?
Ok so you start the beginning of a level over after death, or the whole game? If it's the latter what keeps you from losing your mind? Dark Souls and Hollow Knight have Fires and Benched respectively. I know this isn't the same type of game, I'm just seeing if it's for me.
The whole game starts over, and the permanent upgrades keep you coming back.
You could always create a hotspot on your phone and connect your Switch to that!
I don't know if they used to be different, but there are still challenge areas. Find a rune on the ground, use it to open a portal. Chest at the start, then a bunch of traps on the way out.I feel like the difficulty spike starts at the first boss.
I haven't seen challenge rooms in a long time. Did they ditch those?

Maybe I've forgotten how they work? I know they added the floor runes that you can bust through with some item, are the challenge roo s also floor runes?
That's confirmed then? Thank christ, just wanted to be sure.
I just spent ~30 hours with Hollow Knight over the last few weeks. How difficult is Dead Cells by comparison?
Just wait til you're locked in a room with an elite one later on. Good lord.FUCK those giant hooded sword skeletons in the Ossuary.
FUCK THEM SO HARD.
That's actually what prompted that ;__;Just wait til you're locked in a room with an elite one later on. Good lord.
They are super vulnerable to stun/freeze type stuff, but yeah they are really brutal if you don't have enough of that.

yeah I tested it further and scaling has nothing to do with it.I don't even use pixelated font. Funny thing: in a non maximized window the menu works fine.I don't think this has anything to do with resolution, scaling, or Big Picture Mode.
