PSA: Don't buy the bundle until you see it on sale with the 10% discount and the 30% off on the base game, there's been a little communication error between us and Valve and that WILL NOT be live for a few more hours. Also it's not a complete the set bundle which was erroneously published in a previous news, this means the bundle discount of 10% is only for new players. Apologies for the miscommunication. :/
Hi everyone,
We are excited to announce that The Bad Seed DLC is now officially available!
As most of you probably know by now, it gives you two extra biomes with new enemies, weapons (two-handed scythes anyone?), bouncy mechanics and a big ol’ screen-sized boss.
Ok, but what exactly is in there?
Two levels:
The Arboretum
First up is the Arboretum, full of bouncy plants and delightful mushrooms that just can't wait to get close to you. We felt there was potential in quick vertical movement to help keep a nice flow going, and rubbery vegetation seemed like as good a place to start as any.
Surprise attacks just got faster
You can find a little friend lurking within these dilapidated walls. With time you'll find that you'll get to know each other and that the little thing is really willing to put its body on the line for you...
It really really likes you
A dedicated but very jealous bodyguard that won't let anyone get close to you.
The Morass of the Damned
After you bust out of the Arboretum, you'll land right in the Morass, where all manner of pointy, stabby things await. Plus something much, much bigger...
Expect some ambushes and sneaky sniping
If an ominous eyeball pops up in front of you, just smack it with a frying pan, you'll be fiiiiiiine
Weapons:
A good DLC isn't complete without some new ways to mess up your enemies, so we're introducing two-handed weapons for the first time, including a hard hitting scythe:
Subtlety really isn't an option with this one
This should offer you another way to experiment with your playstyle, but as it restricts you to one weapon we may need to tweak the system in the future. For now just have fun with it and let us know what you think.
How much is it?
Pricing is $4.99/4,99€ (or equivalent). If you haven’t actually tried the game yet but want to catch up, then the main game is currently on sale with a 30% discount. A bundle of the main game and DLC is also on offer with a 10% discount at the moment.
As always, we're super excited to read your feedback about the content we're adding to the game. That’s all for now, enjoy the DLC and we’ll be back soon with more free content.
Thanks,
Matt, Evil Empire and Motion Twin
