Update 28 alpha open - try out a brand new biome!

Hey everyone, We've put a new alpha out for our next free update, introducing The Bank!
This is a brand new optional biome that randomly appears in your run, replacing the following biome if you choose to enter it. To unlock it you just need to reach the Hand of the King once. If you've already reached the Hand of the King, then The Bank will start appearing the next time you start from Prisoner's Quarters.
We're also introducing more ways of using gold. When you finish a run there's often a ton of gold left, so we wanted to give it more utility through new weapons and mutations - it will change nothing for people who don't want to risk their gold, but those who do can gain strong but risky effects.

So how do you get there?

A flashy chest is guaranteed to appear at a random point in your run, in the transition area between biomes (but not before a boss). You can only enter The Bank by opening the chest right there, if you don't go for it then you lose the opportunity and the chest won't reappear in the same run.

The Bank will replace the next biome in your path. For example, if you enter The Bank at the transition after Prisoner's Quarters, you will exit The Bank having skipped the biomes after Prisoner's Quarters - Toxic Sewers, Promenade of the Condemned and Dilapidated Arboretum (if you have The Bad Seed DLC of course!). The Bank will contain one less scroll than the 'best' biome that's being replaced, i.e. the one with the most scrolls. It will also contain a guaranteed Cursed Chest. For example, if the 'best' replaced biome has 4 scrolls, the Bank will have 3 scrolls + a Cursed Chest. There are several platforming sequences in The Bank that are tricky but give good rewards if you're willing to take them on. You'll also be able to take out a loan for gold at the beginning of the level, but you'll have to pay it all back at the end, so take care not to spend it all...

What's in it?

Enemies Mobs will be present from all the biomes that The Bank has replaced. So, if you enter The Bank at the transition after Prisoner's Quarters you will face mobs from Toxic Sewers, Promenade of the Condemned and Dilapidated Arboretum. There's also three new Bank-specific mobs: Evil Guillain wants your gold and has the claws to get it.

Gold Gorger collects gold as it grows, but don't let it reach it's final form, it'll kick your ass! Golden Kamikaze Bat is the same bat you know and love, but it drops more moneyyy!

Weapons We're also adding three new weapons, all centered around gold of course! Gold Digger - gives gold on hits plus critical hits if you're filthy rich. Dagger of Cupidity - crits for 3 secs after picking up gold. Money Shooter - fires your gold. If you run out of gold, no more shots... Mutations You can find three new mutations too! You won't believe it, but these are also focused on gold mechanics... Midas' Blood - gives you gold when you lose health. Gold Plating - you lose gold, not health, when you get hit. Get Rich Quick - stack bonus gold by killing enemies while you have a speed boost and cash in when it ends. Gotta go fast... Other changes - Vampirism rework - now you sacrifice a percentage% of your maximum health and can recover % of your HP per attack and gain a speed boost for 10 seconds. - Scarecrow outfits now have proper names! - Maw of the Deep and Bladed Tonfas tooltips updated to reflect the changes made in the DLC3 hotfix.

How to access the alpha:

In and out, real quick. 20 minute adventure... Back up your save first although the alpha shouldn't affect your saves (if the worst happens then theres a save restore hack detailed here), then follow the instructions below to access the alpha:

Go to your Steam game library.
Right click on Dead Cells and click "properties".
Select the tab "Betas".
In the first dropdown box select "Alpha - Not for the faint hearted".
Click close and wait for the upload to finish downloading.
Start playing.

Bear in mind that everything is still being tweaked according to feedback, so some things may break, have strange interactions or just straight up crash the game. If you want to leave feedback you can do so in the comments here, or on our official Discord - there are two channels called the-bank-alpha-discussion and the-bank-alpha-feedback. After a few days we might also send out a few questions but for the moment just have a mess around and see what's up! Thanks for taking part :) Cheers, Matt, EE & MT

Roguelite? Metroidvania? Roguevania!

You grew up with the roguelikes, witnessed the rise of the roguelites and even the birth of the roguelite-lites? We'd now like to present for your consideration our RogueVania, the illegitimate child of a modern Roguelite (Rogue Legacy, Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Spelunky, etc.) and an old-school MetroidVania (Castlevania: SotN and its ilk).

Features:

RogueVania: The progressive exploration of an interconnected world, with the replayability of a rogue-lite and the adrenaline pumping threat of permadeath.
2D Souls-lite Action: Tough but fair combat, more than fifty weapons and spells with unique gameplay, and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble.
Nonlinear progression: Sewers, Ossuary or Remparts? Once unlocked, special permanent abilities allow you to access new paths to reach your objective. Opt for the path that suits your current build, your play style or just your mood.
Exploration: Secret rooms, hidden passages, charming landscapes. Take a moment to stroll the towers and breath in that fresh sea mist infused air...

Interconnected levels and progressive unlocking of access to the island provides you with a real incentive to explore your surroundings. Add in a degree of evolution for your character and permanent weapon upgrades and you can see where Dead Cells borrows from the long line of MetroidVanias that precede it.

At the end of the day though, it’s YOUR skills as a player that matter most! Roguelites are about constantly getting better, until what was an insurmountable obstacle becomes a walk in the park. Unforgiving combat wed to the absence of any kind of safety net makes for an adrenalin pumping ride each and every run and unrivaled replayability.

Dead Cells left Early Access on August 7th 2018 and comes with:

13 Levels - Each one with its own atmosphere, foes and secrets to discover.
4 Bosses - Made by the most sadistic of the devs, raised on the salt of the testers.
90 or so weapons and skills - Spears, swords, bows, freeze blast, etc.
4 special powers, unlocking new areas and paths (metroidvania gear lock items).
1 epic responsive, fluid and fun to play combat system.
1 Daily Run Mode Complete with leaderboards for lording it over your mates.
Hours of fun (depending on your skill, anything from 10 to 30 hours or more).
A few rage-quits, Ok a lot of rage quits… But you’ll git gud… Eventually.
