You can be killed by many things in run ‘n’ stab roguelike Dead Cells. There are pirate captains, football-sized assassins and horrible worms. There are robots that summon corpse flies, and skeletons in hats that turn into knife tornadoes. If you spend $5 on Dead Cells’ first whack of paid DLC this January, you can also be chucked at spiky walls by mushroom men.
They’re part of the Bad Seeds DLC, which adds another route through the game filled with plants and pricks with blow pipes. I’m lucky enough to have already spent an afternoon being chucked at spiky walls, as well as the chance to ask new split-off studio Evil Empire why they’re charging for the privilege.
