Dead Cells, the ever-expanding rogue-like action-platformer from developers Motion Twin and subsidiary Evil Empire, continues to swell, this time with the newly released Enter the Panchaku update, which introduces pet petting, a formidable dual frying pan weapon, and more.
The ability to pet your pets in a rogue-like action-platformer mightn’t be at the top of your own personal list of exciting additions, but – as revealed in Evil Empire’s extremely extensive release notes – the feature is now in, giving players the ability to show their companions some love between biomes. And why wouldn’t you want to do that, you monster?
Elsewhere, the free Panchaku update introduces the new Panchaku weapon, which keen-eyed players might recognise as originating in the animated trailer for Dead Cells’ Bad Seed expansion. It’s described as “two frying pans tied together with a piece of string, which crits on enemies facing you and has a slick combo with hits behind and all around you”. It’ll also reflect bombs and projectiles mid-combo.
