Evil Empire first discussed improving Dead Cells’ accessibility back in January, when it began canvassing players for feedback on how it could expand the game to better suit a wider range of needs.
Dead Cells, the majestic rogue-like action-platformer from developers Motion Twin and subsidiary Evil Empire, is expanding again, this time introducing a range of new accessibility features – including an adjustable Assist Mode – in a PC and console update the studios are calling Breaking Barriers.
Dead Cells new accessibility features fall into two main categories: adjustable options focused on input, visibility, and audio, plus a customisable Assist Mode.
Unfortunately, Assist Mode has received a certain amount of “pushback” from portions of the Dead Cells playerbase during beta testing, and Evil Empire has addressed these complaints directly in its post.
