Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
I just got dead cells because I was in a gaming rut. I got one run in. It's fun. Do you play with controller?
Thanks! Yeah I'll try with controller. Just did 2 runs with it and died both times in the second map. Just getting used to it. It's much better with controller but my Xbox pro controller is so trash that the recoil of flicking my move button changes my direction which was annoying. I had to mess with the dead zone. I play brawlhalla on controller so the dodge button is messing with me lol
With m&k on my very first run playing the game I got past the first boss and died with like 8k gold. I got far. But I got a good combo I think. I'm looking forward to the steep learning. I beat hades 100% so I'm looking forward to synergies.
Yeah it was definitely beginners luck. I killed the concierge and died a map or 2 later. Since then I think I've done 25 runs and got to the concierge twice. But I am just trying to bull rush in. I'm embarrassed to say I've died in the first encounter so many times from that stupid shield zombie and jumping one. I can't get the parry right. They do this stupid grunt then I parry then they jump. And if I wait for the "!" they do this weird timing if I hit them. Still getting used to it.
But I got rickety wrekt by death in the castle map. I thought I was doing so effing good, got him down to phase 2 (about 1/3 health down) and with 1.4k health he killed me in a 3 hit combo, first hit taking half my life down and I got so blown away that I just missed wtf happened next. Game is very unforgiving.
I haven't tried any of the enhancements or crutches. Which I'm a father of 3 kids, one a new born and I'm not good like I used to be. I might check out some cheats to make things a little smoother for me.
Hey this is awesome thanks so much for all the pointers. I'm starting to get a hang of it. Maybe 50 runs in or so and made it to that dark level and had enough money for that new shiny bomb (the light bomb) and while reading it I started taking damage. I got confused and started attacking but I quickly died. Lmao apparently the dark kills you. I'm starting to use the wiki a little now.
I've pretty much exclusively been using melee and the red scrolls. I noticed one run I had 8 red and 1/1 and died with full health in what felt like 1 hit I was like wtffff. And then realized I was maybe 300 health or so? I should have been in the 1k by then and forgot to distribute to get max health benefit.
I'll try the training room. I beat death today by taking it slow. Just got the ram so I can break those stupid floors lol. Thanks to the wiki. Lot of cool Easter eggs. Loved the gordan crowbar as I'm an avid HL fan.
