Power Unleashed [new game mode]

Now compatible with the update 35.8 « The End is Near »

You insta-kill enemies, but you can instantly die too :^)


1️⃣ Enemies have a single life point, but inflict damages that far exceed your HP.

2️⃣ Bosses' life points have been carefully rebalanced so that all confrontations are fair.

*️⃣ Elites' life points are unchanged, beware.

*️⃣ Damages caused by the environmental hazards such as spikes or poison pools are unchanged.

Note that the one-hit protection[deadcells.fandom.com] mechanism of the game will prevent you from instantly dying, but the attacks suffered will leave you vulnerable with 1 HP instead.


⭐ I also recommend installing the mod mobs: density x2 to double the number of enemies.


This mod is the corner stone of one of two challenges I imagined for Dead Cells. Each of them represents a new way of enjoying and exploring the game.



You can see all my mods for Dead Cells here.


Elites

Due to the modding limitations, mods cannot modify the life points of elite enemies. Fortunately, it turns out that keeping these life points is accidentally a good design idea.

The further you progress in the game, the more dangerous your encounters with the elites become. You can't rest on your laurels.

The rusty sword (the ez mode)

At the start of the story, you'll be forced to face an elite guarding a rune. Fighting a deadly creature at this stage can be laborious, especially with the starting weapons. That's why the rusty sword has been considerably improved. Don't hesitate to use this weapon in the early levels if the fighting get too tough. Drop it if you dare.

Inspirations

This mod is inspired by the difficulty mode Heaven or Hell[devilmaycry.wikia.com] from the Devil May Cry series, and adapted with the current modding limitations of Dead Cells.

It is part of my New Game Modes collection, check it out.
