Help Mode

  • Extra life. If the main character dies, he is reborn at the beginning of the biome
  • Automatically strikes nearby enemies with your primary weapon
  • Setting damage from enemies and traps, the number of lives of enemies and facilitating parrying.
  • A slider was also planned to adjust the game speed, but it broke everything, so it was decided to abandon it.

As the developers write, during testingpatch, a certain amount of the community was comfortable with the usual accessibility settings, but spoke negatively about the help mode - as if it made the game too easy. The authors decided to emphasize: the help mode is not a normal difficulty level, it is intended primarily for those who would not be able to play the game at all.Dead Cells, if there were no such regime. After all, this is a single-player game, and helping some users won't disrupt the gameplay experience for others, the creators write.

However, some precautions have been taken: those who have turned on the help mode will not be included in the leaderboard of the daily challenge and will not receive achievements.

PatchBreaking Barriersalso brings changes for regular players:

  • Option &#8220;Show number of kills&#8221; is now enabled by default
  • Several old weapons received &#8220;reworks&#8221; and became more careful
  • Most starting items have had their prices significantly reduced.
