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?

It is indeed! Especially when you get lucky on a run and find/roll some crazy strong synergies. The game has a pretty steep learning curve at first, just keep doing runs and it will get even more fun. I also very much recommend the official Dead Cells Discord, it has some really nice and helpful people hanging out there.

Do you play with controller?

I do so and very much recommend you at least try playing it with a controller too, except you have a strong habit of playing games of the genre with a keyboard. In my opinion using a controller is more intuitive.

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.

That is to be expected, I recommend to focus on learning the enemies and building some muscle memory for the roll and the parry mechanics at first.

Seriously? I find that pretty impressive for a first run. I think I died in Prisoners Quarters (first biome) on mine :D

Seriously? You mean with all those difficulty modifiers activated, right? I have a feeling you will get good at Dead Cells pretty fast, lol.
