Iron Heart [new game mode]

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

All enemies' attacks are lethal :^)


1️⃣ All enemies deal damage that exceeds your health points by a massive amount.

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

*️⃣ 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.


This mod is also 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.


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