    as amazing as this is, it does not change the fact that in australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. so if the kangaroos decide to invade uruguay, each uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

    I get it that the low amount of healing can be frustrating at times but I think that Dead Cells uses BossCells very good to decrease the amount of health flasks. The thing is that health flasks drop a bit with every BossCell while also making the game harder. So in this case you will get used to less healing, and you will adapt your playstile. At around 4BC there are no health flasks anymore between runs, but this does not mean that you can't get your health up: there are 2 food drops every biome (one from an enemy and one secret), food shops appear in some biomes at high BC, the rally system allows you to regain some health afther you get hit and a lot of mutations to improve healing.
    I really love to play with these different mechanics. I recently unlocked 5BC witch introduces the Malaise meter which forces you do adapt your playstyle and I love this.
    I highly recommend trying the higher BossCells, and if you are not convinced have a look at the video 'Why Dead Cells has Better Difficulty Design than Hades' by Pseychie, he explains this much better.
    Love your videos! This one got me back in to playing Dead Cells so big thanks for that!

    Dead cells is my absolute favorite game. When my friend asked me what the negatives were, I couldn’t awnser. For me at least, this game is flawless. The only thing I wished this game had was co-op mode. That would be cool.

    I used to like dead cells a lot, but once i beat the collector, i just couldn’t play it anymore. the main problem in my opinion is that you can choose your route, and there is an explicitly best route, and that best route has been in the game since the collector was added. I really think they should have just made all the stages equal in terms of scrolls and have the game randomly select the stage and/or let you choose between 2 stages.

  • @thecreature7808
    @thecreature7808 Před 7 měsíci +3

    i do respectfully disagree with the difficulty enhancer bit; if anything it forces you to look at your color choice, mutations, and routing more critically, because you're guaranteed healing via food and you can also mitigate some damage via rally which can be extended via mutations. the food shops available in certain biomes give some breathing room especially for less experienced players, at the cost of some scroll fragments or shop levels. obviously there is still an element of skill involved but i think it's less of an issue if attentive.

  • @momodeath
    @momodeath Před 8 měsíci +15

    its amazing for a game to have so many positives, and the only downside you mention is skill related. I can imagine the people that love and have beaten 5BC is because of hard work and passion towards this game. Missed these long, lore-filled reiviews :))

      On one hand, it sucks that you can only get the true ending on 5BC
      On the other hand, GOD does it feel good when you finally get the true ending
      For me, no changes are needed =D

    Difficulty has a pretty wide range. The boss cells are not the only "difficulty enchancers." There are many options that lets you choose an easier or harder time outside of the boss cells. And the build and paths you choose, and how you choose to play. All have an impact on how hard the game can be. You can have a broken build, an easy path, or just change some settings. Depending on the settings and ways of playing, it can make it feel like a different game.

  • @sharkastic2633
    @sharkastic2633 Před 8 měsíci +4

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with playing at lower bc levels, but I would encourage you to progress through the difficulties even gradually. I think what most people get wrong about progression is saying that you need to rush to 5bc when you can work on reliably beating each difficulty before moving up. The game is designed with the end goal of you beating 5bc, but you can choose to ignore it or only start playing 5bc when you're 300 hours in and both of those choices are valid.
    I'd also like to mention just how great it was to see a nuanced take about the difficulty system. It's not something that I see really touched on at all due to the "0bc is just the tutorial" mentality that most of the active community has.
    I hope I didn't come off as too abrasive about progressing, just my thoughts on the matter.

    • @2265Hello
      @2265Hello Před 8 měsíci +1

      Pretty much agree with all of this. Imo Beating 5bc is just long term mastery of the game. It’s far easy though
