Sounds really good to me! And the hidden level/mode seems really neat.

Cannot wait for this at all,

Patiently awaiting it.

I'm definitely a poor Dead Cells player but found the DLC really fun and worth having. Shit, even if I didn't have the other DLC, I would buy this CV DLC in a heartbeat. It seems like lots of people on Steam bought DC + CV DLC as fresh players just because of this crossover.

The most difficulty achievement I have for beating the game is

Up, Guards, and at them again!​

Finish the game with a Boss Stem Cell active.​

Apparently 18% have done that but that is like bare minimum if you're a good DC player. I only have about 50 hours though and have had the game since day 1 of early access.

Maybe when I'm in the need for a new Rogue-like. I just started Returnal last week, so my Rogue-like quota is filled for now.

So maybe a dumb question, but how do you actually get to the Castlevania material? Downloaded and installed of course, but when starting up a new save it just takes me through the normal Dead Cells game

There should be an exit in the first biome that will lead you to the DLC.

HOW TO START DEAD CELLS ‘RETURN TO CASTLEVANIA’ DLC​

If you’re operating from a fresh playthrough, you’ll need to die three times before starting the Dead Cells DLC. On your next life, a gaggle of bats will fly across your screen. Note that you’re not looking for the typical bats that periodically flutter out of Dead Cells’ caverns — these bats are significantly larger. And redder.

Once you see those bats, you’ll be able start Return to Castlevania by talking to Richter. He’s located somewhere in Prisoner’s Quarters, the starting area of all runs. Don’t exit the biome before you’ve chatted with Richter. (Richter’s exact location is indeterminate; Dead Cells levels are procedurally generated in a random fashion every time you reset.)

After you find Richter, he’ll lead you through a series of pathways, which eventually leads to the Castle’s Outskirts biome. Castle’s Outskirts is an alternate pathway for the second biome of your Dead Cells runs. Heads up that it’s noticeably more difficult than the other three options — Toxic Sewers, the Promenade of the Condemned, and the Dilapidated Arboretum — so you’d do well to scour Prisoner’s Quarters for as many level-ups as you can find before proceeding.

• 2 new biomes
• 10 new mobs
• 3 new bosses
• 14 new items
• 20 new outfits
• New story arc
• A big secret and lots of smaller ones
• Bugfixes and balance changes

That's not much content.

 

[Spukc]

Finished it .
Music is great

Now start again haha

 

[simpatico]

Just reminds me that we STILL DON'T HAVE SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT ON PC

 

[LegendOfKage]

This should have been a whole new game for 30 or 40 dollars, not a 2 level DLC within the main roguelike for 10 dollars.

 

[anthony2690]

Anyone played this yet?
Curious off people's opinions that have played it & the base game prior.
My broke ass will grab this soon

 

[jshackles]

Played through a couple of the levels - god damn, this is good stuff. I already had all the other DLC, so the "complete" bundle that included only this was marked down on Steam to $7.99. Well worth it for that price. Hell, I probably would have paid $8 just to have the Castlevania music playing while going through this game normally.

Like their other DLCs, it's a bit light on content (can be finished pretty quickly, especially if you already have a ton of other stuff unlocked). However, because it's integrated into the main game, there is a lot of replayability here. Like, I imagine I'll opt to run through the Castlevania levels at random on a regular run.

The Alucard Sword is amazingly good. Probably now my favorite Dead Cells weapon, honestly.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

That's not much content.

Two biomes? That sucks ...major buzz kill. Each biome can be run through in anywhere from 2 min to like 15 min tops ...

Hey Konami, here's an idea:
Why don't you ask this team or any other 2d retro platformer indie designers to make a new Castlevania for you? There's dozens of indie teams making games like this.

I mean, this is nice, but you're leaving money on the table. People want a new game!

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Bought this game years ago and never managed to finish it

This dlc has me intrigued

Can you start it right away?

You have to die in three regular runs first. Takes anywhere from 1-45 minutes (depending on your skill level, lower = lower time).

Then you can access the DLC level.

 

[xVodevil]

Well, clearly there's a team to make a brand new entry in this style!
This is absolutely fantastic quality! But.. sadly at the same time, extremely disappointing how little content it is..
Either way.. after this tease it is clearly the perfect moment to do something with the franchise Konami, like right now!

 

[xrnzaaas]

Is the difficulty increased compared to the base game? Because I feel like it was close to the limit of my skill (and patience ).
