- To wrap up the year, I thought I'd come up with my own guide on the different Dead Cells DLCs. Are they worth the price? How much content will they bring to the table? If you're someone that's on the fence about buying the DLCs, this video might be the one for you.

To be 100% honest i think all of them are worth it
fatal fall is my favorite
@@imsucodeuva9969 Worth it for the Fractured Shrines music and atmosphere alone
Absolutely
On God
Yeah I bought all of them as soon as I got the game, took me a while to get my money's worth out of em but now I really love all of them.
I bought all dlc like five hours into my playtime, now I have no idea what’s dlc and what’s base game content, it’s just one glorious banger of a game.
same
I’m bought them all with the game, then bought castlevania day 1
I'd generally agree with this, though I think the reason for the achievement charts being what they are (especially queen and the sea being lower than fatal falls being lower than bad seed in terms of percentage of players) is less to do with getting to those areas or not buying those DLCs but still buying other DLCs, and more to do with the fact that QatS is the most recent addition with FF being the most recent one after it, so not as many players are even aware they exist.
I would also say that for me personally at least I usually wait for them to go on sale and just haven’t seen those go on sale as much/as low
@@Favuer motion twin deserves the full price
@@johndodo2062 They do, but not everyone has the money to buy at full price. It's better that they buy it at a discounted price rather than pirating it
I think part of the 9.99 cost for Castlevania comes down to Konami getting a piece as well. I tried dead cells when it became free on Playstation plus and bought all the DLC before getting my first boss cell. I'm hooked and finally got the 5th boss cell yesterday
yooo congrats!!
Nice!
Im still trying to beat 1bc
@@tivvy2vs21 for me the difficulty spike were like this. 1bc took the longest. Then I beat 1bc relatively quick, 2bc another major roadblock. 3bc went quick. 4bc another roadblock then 5bc which still took a bit. Haven't made it back to the end of the game yet to try the spoiler area
@@amon37 for me it took over half my playtime to beat 0bc and 1bc, then I sped through the rest of the boss cells except for 5bc, which I’m still yet to beat.
I really value weapon variety, so from my perspective, I recommend buying all 3 DLCs. I like trying out more weapons, even if there are a couple I don't like. The Biomes and bosses are a plus, of course.
The problem is some of these weapons, specifically in Queen of the Sea, are unlocked late game. And like Pseychie said, this may not appeal to everyone.
This might be a hot take, but I think Dead Cells has the value of a full price game. So I don't mind a few extra dollars every now and then with a paid update to get even more value out of it.
Yeah I buy all of them without thinking about it tbh. I just want to support them as much as possible so they continue supporting us!
Pseychie: The Scarecrow is one of the harder bosses
Also Pseychie: *Proceeds to removing half of the Scarecrow's health within 3 seconds*
Scarecrow has the least second boss hp but has the highest dmg
*bonk*
I accidentally flawlessed him on my fist time fighting him lol, used the [bow that you have to hold and release the button at the right time]. Then in subsequent runs I use the absolutely broken Baseball Bat/ Boy’s Axe/ Wolf Trap/ Corrupted Power builds
Nerves of steel?
@TheIceIvy yeah that’s the one, very nice bow imo
Considering the price, and how much they add to the game. All worth it in my opinion. I spent more hours with dead cells than my last four AAA titles combined. Superb game. Thanks for the detailed review.
This is pure speculation, but I wonder if they’re going to incorporate the Castlevania DLC almost like an alternate route within the game? Seeing as it’s going to be a much larger DLC, maybe they’ll make it so you can go from prisoners quarters into a ‘castlevania’ route that‘a sort of independent of the main path? I think that would be a cool way to go about it, as it would add content to early, mid, and late game.
Personally I'm imagining they literally just emulate Castlevania but the player character is the beheaded
That would be cool.
I'd honestly love that. An option to take a rout that's just pure Castlevania would be awesome.
Not really it's only three regular levels and two bosses
It's half early game, half late game, no mid run content. And you can only do one half of it in a single run.
Thanks for this, I got the base game on offer and I'm absolutely loving it, I was wondering if I should buy all the dlc too
Everything. Every single one of them is a must buy.
I've been playing Dead Cells ever since it's Early Access stage and not once I've been disappointed by their updates.
@Pseychie Please do a video on how to do a Custom Run, with locking unwanted weapons. Thanks for all the contents and Happy New Year!
That's a really cool Survival Heavy Crossbow build with Face Flask/Vengeance plus Corrupted Power. I assume it's gonna be a showcase so I can't wait to see it chunk the Servants!
Theyre all great. I cant wait for the new one! Sotn is my favorite game ever. Cant wait to use some of those weapons....hopefully lol
As someone who started playing playing it recently, (I had it for 2 years but only touched it once until about 2 weeks ago) I say The Queen and The Sea is my favorite dlc pack, great stuff and I cant wait for the Castlevania dlc
Hi, making this comment on Update 35 of the game, it's still on beta but I think it won't change too much
The Castlevania DLC currently introduces 2 new biomes and 2 (almost 3) bosses, witch you can access in early game (2 biomes and 1 boss) or/and late game after the second boss fight (1 biome and the last boss) it introduces quite a bunch of weapons and an Easter egg for the Castlevania enjoyers in the last biome, i don't want to sound bias or anything but this is their best dlc in terms of content added to the game, definitely pick it up if you're looking for this
Pls make a tutorial on how to manage items (when to reforge or look for new weapons, when to swap weapons, tier or affix?, Whats the general rule of thumb on managing items, when should you buy from shop and when you shouldnt, how to spend money)
I have never beat the game even on normal difficulty. No boss cells. I think I'd have to be able to do that in order to justify purchasing DLC.
Yes queen and the sea is really hard
Like i used to have all the achievement until the dlc came out and i still cant do lighthouse hitless but ye i dont play so much anymore and at this point i will only buy the dlc that will came out only to help the creators because this is a really good game
I actually like how the content is split between early game, mid game, and late game. I got the 1st 2 DLCs after deciding I was defo gonna play more Dead Cells, and I like how I can have fun with some new stuff and not need to worry about the newer DLCs cuz I'm not at that level yet. It makes the game very accessible to someone new and not as overwhelming with choice and difficulty.
I haven't been playing dead cells for very long but I made it to the hand of the king boss and it completely threw me off guard also as good as my build was it didn't take long for me to get overwhelmed I did unlock some more content just making it to that boss fight boss rush and the bank I've been trying to improve the quality of my weapons at the blacksmith and I unlock advanced forge 1 all in the same run this is the first rouge like game I was willing to try out and I've been enjoying it a lot, this game definitely lives up to it's reputation
SPOILER...
right hand of the king is not the final boss there is 1 more
They’re all on sale. Buy all of them.
Source: I just bought all of them. 13 hours in. Just got my first BSC.
Also, even if you don’t own the DLC, entrances to DLC biomes still spawn and basically wast your time.
yoooo pseychie upload
I think a cool idea for a showcase run would be to take only the DLC biomes. A "Road to the Sea" showcase run perhaps.
I particularly do like how the DLC biomes together have a different theme and lore from the base game routes. The base game routes are set within the kingdom while the DLCs are set on the outskirts of places that were abandoned or where people were sent into exile.
tbs is still in the kingdom though, dilapidated arboretum is like the castle’s garden or whatever is left of it anyway
@@peepeepoopoo9880 still different to the sewers or the prison yard, or the castle roofs and idk what the ossuary is
@@W-mans26 the ossuary was where the bodies of dead prisoners were stored/cremated.
@@vasvasilescu8597 oh makes sense
All of them are an absolute banger, Arboretum and the swamps are eerily satisfying, Fatal Falls is incredibly fun, Queen and the Sea is a great challenge and the Shipwreck is a blast of a level and Castlevania is practically a new game altogether. And Rise of the Giant is a no brainer of course xD
That also goes into other things because that percentage also counts everyone who has ever bought or been gifted the game so all the people who had a nice friend who sent them the game but they legit never play it and all those people and the people who bought it and never got around to it. I have all the dlc in the game I still haven’t explored all the dlc yet still and I owned them for ages because I just haven’t had a massive amount of time to play
Can you make a video about the buffs that show up above your head? The only ones i understand is the speed and curse sign.
Queen and Sea was way more fun then the actual ending + boss
we got the content revealed for castlevania dlc: 2 biomes, 14 weapons, a new story (?), 3 bosses (death, dracula and ???) and 20 outfits
I have to add that many of my friends who bought the game played it at launch but never bought any DLC afterwards. Many stopped playing after 2BC or 3BC also. The game has changed a lot over the years, many haven't experienced the busted guides.
Hey, quick question. Can you make an updated boss guide after the Castlevania DLC releases? Because I legit need some help with the Servants in the Lighthouse, they keep clapping my cheeks.
Sadly on console the seperate DLC never go on sale individually unlike the DLC packs. Personally I bought dead cells with the first 2 DLC as a bundle on sale, waiting since the Queen DLC dropped for it to go on sale but it never does. only the full DLC packs which I cant buy anymore because I own the first 2 already. I know alot of people with a similar issue, idk if they will ever change that
Looking some reviews to check which one I will buy... So, basically the map is the same on the three versions of Dead Cells, the main difference is how the enemies, weapons and bosses are arrenged on it?
While I don't really get to enjoy the DLC stages as much since going off my preferred route is too out of my comfort zone, I really like all of the mutations, outfits, and gear that come with all of the DLCs which is why I bought all of them when I first got hooked to Dead Cells. They really all are worth it
In case not everyone knows arcade added dead cells with all DLC, it’s actually how I got introduced to the game and I love it
there was a big discount recently where i got all the dlcs plus the game for less than what the base game would usually cost so i have them all because why not
I wish I knew I’d want the dlc beforehand, then I would’ve just bought them in a bundle with the game.
I’m on 5bc and have been off the game for a while getting to the astrolab twice and not quite fighting mr [REDACTED]. I’m a bit turned off from buying dlc past bad seed because of item bloat already created by free updates and separate paths lacking direct incentive to play besides wanting variety. Plus over the years they’ve made some jarring gameplay changes that kinda killed my momentum. Maybe will consider getting dlc if I sit my ass down and kill [REDACTED]
Get all the DLCs and enjoy the game, guys, it's 100% worth it. Not a fan of roguelikes, but I fell in love with DC, after 176 hrs of game time, all biomes finished, all bosses beaten, four BCs acquired, almost all weapons discovered, I can confidently say that DC is one of my favorite games of all time, I have no plans to stop running and it's joy in its purest form. Music is sublime, constantly changing levels and randomness of weapons keeps the freshness and excitement alive and kicking, regardless of the route u take. This game doesn't get old and all biomes have smth to offer, if you really like the game, I don't see why would you willingly omit some of the content, especially if you can easily get the DLC bundle for cheap. Heck, even full price, still worth it, man, hell of a game!!
Pseychie: Scarecrow is probably one of the harder bosses in the game
Casually shed half of its hp before it could even attack
From my experience I played the game with no dlc until 2BC and there is no wrong time to buy them, they will always give you more variety in weapons / biomes and bosses.
Lol some years ago, I got the whole bundle for less than $20 on Switch. Idk if the other game companies run similar sales but that was a deal I couldn’t pass up
Buy all of them
I'm in the hilarious position where I've been playing through steam family share using my brother's purchase. He has all the DLCs, so I got to play them all... except for the free Rise of the Giant DLC. For whatever reason, steam doesn't let you install this free DLC unless you own the base game. I thought I wouldn't need the free DLC, so I kept playing for ~50 hours this past month. I eventually managed to complete the game on 4BC and at the end, I was given this letter that said that I needed to kill the Giant to unlock 5BC. Welp, so much for that... I guess I'll consider buying Dead Cells for myself once the Castlevania update is out.
Not even watching the video yet, just saying all of them are worth it.
But if limited on a budget, get the Fatal Falls one. My personal favorite =-=)/
Yes all of them are worth it, full price or sale its great content
FF. The free guaranteed legendary is great for beginners and low-level forge players, and a great side pickup for endgame.
I've been eyeing TQaTS but the lighthouse seems a very hard bossfight. But the Queen's Rapier is too beautiful but too hard to even get a chance of acquiring it.
hmm, when i wanted to enter the Fatal Falls it said ''Requires Fatal Falls DLC'' but i already own this DLC.
do you have any idea whay it still says this ?
We know the true answer is to buy all
It was extremely helpful! I bought the game a couple years ago but haven't put much time into it. I seen the DLC on sale but wasn't sure if I should pull the trigger on them. I think I'll go ahead and do it while they're at a discounted price. Great video, greatly appreciated🙏🏻🫡
i bought them all but i still watched
It's all worth it as someone who's kept buying the destiny 2 dlc trust me if you like dead cells it's all worth it and getting extra paths is just on its own adding a lot to the game
I can attest to this. Bought Queen and the Sea and I can count the amount of times I've gotten to the Infested Shipwreck on my fingers. I should probably go on a lower boss cell level to unlock the stuff but... nahhhhhhhh.
all of them to support a very cool cool indie game company
I have all DLC...
It might sound silly but does the DLCs come included if I purchase thru Google PlayStore?
2:19 my man doling out some 3rd degree burns.
I just noticed the old poison effect icon in the thumbnail... man i miss it way better that that now it takes little to no space and i miss the old burning oil and burning they were actually fire not a stupid ring
I bought the game + all of its DLC during this Winter sale and it was kind of overwhelming trying to figure out what to do and where to go. You have all these different biomes to choose from, and you can find each of the runes to access those biomes pretty early into the game. With a game like this one, where collecting weapons, runes, mutations, and just items in general is important to your success, you can find yourself getting lost easily. My advice for other newbies is to just buy DLC later or search online what the base/default biomes are, and stick to those until you've acquired more items and have perhaps beaten the last boss. Going into a different biome every run just results in you having to familiarize yourself with a whole new set of enemies and mechanics and you are likely to die or take unnecessary damage.
I basically found myself trying to challenge the queen of the sea (and losing to the servants, albeit almost killing them on my very first try) before I even found the hand of the king, and on normal difficulty, he was easily defeated. But it seems like there are ideal biomes to challenge first, while you should save others for later once you've unlocked better items and what not.
i think the queen and the sea and fatal falls are the same like the fatal falls comes with with the queen and the sea and rise of the giant with the bad seed DLC or at least that's how it is on epic games plus each one is 2$ I believe its 6 on steam so buy the game on epic not only is the game 12 bucks which is 13 dollars les than steam but all the DLCs are 2 bucks as I said
Nice
For those wondering Return to Castlevania is half early game and half late game. There is no mid run content for it.
Me watching this while having all the dlcs already
I bought the queen dlc thinking I would be able to make it to that point and since I bought it I have not been able to make it to that point
Get the bundle, includes all the DLC at a discounted price. The Queen is almost unbeatable in 4BC, similar to trying to beat the Collector.
I haven't been disappointed by a paid dlc for this game yet. Just got the castlevania dlc, and you can just feel the love they put into their work.
i can see monster in game so beautiful. Can u show me ur setting game ?
The first time I play the game, I bought every single DLC. Can't even imagine how I played if I didn't do that lol, the idea of having some biomes remain untouched make me want to play more and more. All of them are worth it.
The answer is all of them
I bought this game last week! The main reason I bought it was for return to Castlevania I am a Castlevania fan big time! But I shouldn't of bought it for just Castlevania because this game rocks I love it! Update: the Castlevania dlc is awesome as hell! All the DLCs are worth the buy! For PS4 can get all for 20 and not on sale pretty cheap lots of content!
Are all the dlc included on mobile?
The fact that they’re a metroidvania and they just did a collab with konami for the castlevania dlc, it wouldn’t surprise me if they manage to pull off a metroid collab with nintendo
Tbh I didn't really think much about it and just bought the game and all three DLC together.
I need the Castlevania DLC right now. Seriously.
Yea I have reached 4BC but I still have not went a single time to the ship
i own QatS but have not been to the shipwreck yet, so i dont think basing the amount of people who own the dlc on the achievement stats is completely accurate
The castlevania one is definitely worth more then it is I love it
Hey I have a question, so I have none of the dead cells DLC and I found a room in the prisoners quarters that had 2 mushroom guys from the bad seed DLC and I’m wondering if anyone else has seen it
Yes, it's a special room that was added with the enter the panchaku update and it is where you unlock the panchaku weapon that was introduced in the bad seed trailer. There is no need fir any dlc to get it
From the future here, castlevaina dlc has both early game and end game
SPOILERS BELLOW!!!
If you go into the DLC at early game, then you'll fight death then go into thr fishing village. If you do that and next run you get to the end of clocktower and it's boss, you can do the other half of thr DLC and fight Dracula
Just bought all dlc while being early game and it threw me straight into castelvanje
all of them? what a silly question
Get them all. The tougher late/end game biomes will come in handy once you git gud.
I wanna play queen and the sea so badly but my controller is broken and i'm having such a hard time learning how to play on keyboard 🤧
All of them.
Such a useful video for me - a person who pirated the game and got all of them for free
All of them honestly
Buy them all right now!
Just bought them, excited to play
@@gnikolaou21 congrats! The Queen and Servants are a handful. The game won't be the same for me without Mama Tick and the Scarecrow.
what dlc is the mobile version?🐧
all of them total is like 30 dollars these devs are amazing I wish I could buy more
Here let me shorten the video for you: buy all of them they are that good.
I bought the entire bundle not knowing what is DLC and what isn't so my first win was beating the Lighthouse and the Queen, which I thought were "practice bosses" you could opt for before deciding to finally tackle the "real" boss in the Throne room. :)
Im playing on mobile and have all DLCs..love the game and wanna support the developer
Me to man. I love this game Wich bc do you have?
@@mahmoudalibrahem780 rn im on 2 bc,but i have 5bc using electric whips+ice shards before nerf,but im scared face the final boss..
How bout u bro??
I used the giant sword and these 2 blood torrents i forgot what name they had. And wind shield to Speedrun the game
I wish dead cells had multiplayer mode cause I want to play whit my bro
@@mahmoudalibrahem780 speed run 5bc??
I bought all including the castlevania dlc before I even came across this video
It is worth it even the CastleVania DLC
All
Instructions unclear, purchased everything
Yea...I have all of them
I bought the bundle deal, VALUE
Pseychie: you shouldn’t go to queen if you are new to the game
Me on my first run were I can go to castle: are you sure?
Would they be good for mobile?
So I started playing dead cells in July this year and got all the dlc's since the beginning, and I have reached 5 bc (not completed)
Bad seed:
Personally the dilapidated arboretum is where I never go, and I was gonna say it's my least favorite biome but derelict distillery holds that place 😑.
The morass and the nest I actually like a lot (my fav first boss)
Fatal falls:
Fractured shrines? I LOVE IT
Undying shores? I have no problem with it, but it's a shame it only leads to the mausoleum, the boss fight is difficult and it's not fun not knowing what is happening at this stage of the game.
The queen and the sea:
Again, I LOVE the infested shipwreck AND the leghugger.
The first time I got to the lighthouse I was kinda amazed by the fight, that was before I ended up getting obliterated every single time.
Now the unfortunate part here is that when I reached 3 BC I wanted to beat the queen (for the first time) before the difficulty would spike even more, and ended up wasting a lot of my runs to the servants. I returned back to 0 BC (where I BARELY beat the servants btw) to get to the queen that way and beat her first (and unfortunately last) try. I love the queen fight but it's a shame I can't get there at all.
Now some final words I guess, I started playing in July and stopped at the end of September, so three months. In these three months I've spent 130+ hours way more than any other game I've played this year. Since last year I've been trying to play games more in a 'healty' way, and still work on my own stuff, and dead cells unfortunately couldn't fit that place. I got addicted too much and was constantly thinking about just one more run, to the point that I couldn't get anything done on days where I should have.
I simply play games now that let me enjoy them without being addicted, hollow knight my most recent, which is definitely my favorite I've played in 2022.
Okay I'm truly sorry for this one it ended up being really long, just wanted to share my experience with dead cells.
All of them. You should buy all of them
