Huge Dead Cells update just made the roguelike favourite even better

pcgamesn.com:

A massive, free Dead Cells update gives one of the best roguelike games on Steam a trim and spruce up with new weapons, a dedicated speedrun mode, and additional training options, alongside the introduction of the Dead Cells Castlevania DLC bosses to its boss rush mode. Dead Cells patch notes 34.0 also include plenty of rebalancing, so read on for the full details.

The Dead Cells Clean Cut update introduces two new weapons for you to go all Sweeney Todd on the denizens of its many dungeons. The Sewing Scissors are a Survival-scaling weapon with an incredibly potent trick for advanced players: they’ll instakill all enemies hit if any one of the enemies dies to the attack’s standard damage. Catch even a tiny rat, then, and you’ll be able to bring down some of the biggest baddies with collateral damage.

The Giant Comb, meanwhile, is a Brutality-scaling weapon that launches enemies into the air on first hit and will deal guaranteed critical damage to enemies that are off the ground, making it ideal for any juggle combos you can set up.

Elsewhere, a new NPC can replace your character’s head with a “Bobby version,” while a new speedrun mode comes with full in-game tracking like the daily challenge, but on a full-scale run. It’ll keep track of your completion time per biome, as well as recording your personal best times.

Boss rush now gets a new ‘DIY mode’ that lets you personally decide which foes you’d like to go up against, and the three additional Return to Castlevania bosses are now available there as well as in the training room. The training room itself also includes a bunch of new options to spawn weapons exactly to your specification, tweak enemies to the difficulty level you fancy, and even smack a training dummy for
