The final two updates for Motion Twin and Evil Empire's acclaimed roguelike, Dead Cells, are now live, marking the end of a remarkable journey that began in 2018. Titled Clean Cut and The End is Near, these updates bring the curtain down on years of continuous content additions, delivering a grand finale to fans of the game.
Ironically, the only significant criticism Dead Cells faced was when the developers announced the cessation of free updates. However, the game's legacy of consistent enhancements, including new weapons, gear, and enemies, speaks volumes about its dedication to the player base. With Clean Cut and The End is Near, Dead Cells goes out with a bang, introducing four new weapons such as the giant Sewing Scissors and the Misericorde, alongside new gameplay modes like Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY.
The updates don't stop there; players can now enjoy 40 new heads, various new enemy types, and an NPC that allows for whimsical head customization. While the developers are shifting their focus towards long-term quality-of-life improvements, these final content drops ensure that Dead Cells will keep players engaged for the foreseeable future.
The outcry over the end of free updates might have been loud, but it's hard to argue against the value provided over the past half-decade. With ongoing bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements, Dead Cells is poised to remain a staple in the roguelike genre for years to come.
