The Queen & The Sea does the same here adding in three new late-game biomes featuring a plethora of crazy new weaponry, difficult enemies, a ton of new outfits, and a “true ending” to the game tied to its excellent boss fight. Rise of the Giant introduced a new ending that added greatly to the overall story along with new areas, items, & enemies. This rot destroys the minds of anyone it inhabits and it has turned this island kingdom into a hell on Earth. Originally a game with little story, and only hints to the greater narrative, Motion Twin slowly built up the story of Dead Cells and how everything comes down to The Malaise. The story of Dead Cells has slowly been built up through the game’s many (and mostly free) updates. This review will focus on the third but know that it really is the end of a trilogy, and it’s an excellent one. Created by Evil Empire in tandem with the main game’s developer Motion Twin the first two DLC’s were solid setups for this final piece.

Twenty-four of them were free and The Queen & the Sea caps off the trilogy of paid story expansions that started with The Bad Seed & Fatal Falls. I did a review in 2021 of the base game which you can find located here that is spoiler-free.ĭead Cells has seen an incredible twenty-seven official updates since version 1.0 launched back in May of 2017. It is phenomenal.This review has light spoilers for the original main game release of Dead Cells, so fair warning if you haven’t played it yet. Whether you own the game outright or play it on Game Pass if any of this sounds the least bit appealing then spend $10 on this expansion.

It’s full of content that is all of supremely high quality. Wrapping Things Upĭead Cells: Return to Castlevania is the dream DLC I never knew I wanted for one of my favorite games of the past decade. The only negative is if you do not have any late-game save file, or at least one with the base abilities unlocked it will be a while before you can ever reach Dracula. He’s weak to start so you’ll need to clear out the Castle thoroughly to get him ready to finish off Vlad Țepeș once and… for now. The control scheme swap for Richter mode took some getting used to and activating him only happens late in a run. A lot of work went into this and all of it is Dead Cells at its best. That zone is changed up to match the DLC and it looks sick. After defeating the first mini-boss you’ll be tasked with doing a typical run of the game and heading for a specific zone. The DLC itself is broken up into two parts essentially. Alucard, Simon, Richter, Sypha, Dracula, and over a dozen more are available to unlock as new looks. Finishing things off content-wise are 20 new outfits to find and unlock.

They’re all callbacks to the series and fit perfectly with the enormous amount of content available in Dead Cells now if you own all of the DLC. There are a lot of new weapons with six new melee weapons, three ranged, one shield (you know which one), and three new powers. Each area gets its own track and they’re all fantastic. Hell, even if you don’t care for Castlevania and know nothing about it the music is so damned good that I found myself bopping along to it. The first time you load up the new DLC you’ll be met by Richter Belmont, follow the bats and you’ll enter the Castle’s Outskirts and the music pulls you in with all its beautiful nostalgia. The expansion is expertly weaved into the flow of a Dead Cells run. There are ten new mobs, two mini-bosses, and the main man himself Dracula. Richter Mode which changes up Dracula’s Castle.The new weapons, enemy types, areas, and bosses are all excellent. It is absolutely worth every penny if you love the base game, whether you care about Castlevania or not. This expansion costs $9.99, which is double the norm for Dead Cells. Dead Cells X CastlevaniaĭLC reviews tend to be short so I’ll get right to it. Motion Twin has made one of my favorite games of all time even better. Almost all of the big names from the Konami classic show up in-game or through a dozen+ outfits.
The new monsters and loot look and feel great. The music is fantastic, a staple of the Castlevania series. That’s my impression after playing the new Return to Castlevania DLC for five or so hours on PC. Dead Cells might be the greatest Castlevania game ever made.
