Dead Cells is now "breaking obstacles" - an update with accessibility settings has appeared in the game
In May, the developers Dead Cells introduced a new update that should make the game more friendly for people with disabilities. The patch passed all the tests, got the name Breaking Barriers and is now available in the main version Dead Cells.
The key options are as follows:

Assistance mode
- Extra lives. If the protagonist dies, he is reborn at the beginning of the biome
- Automatic strikes on nearby enemies with the main weapon
- Adjust damage from enemies and traps, the number of lives of enemies and facilitate parrying.
- A slider was also planned to adjust the speed of the game, but it broke everything, so it was decided to abandon it
According to the developers, when testing the patch, a number of the community calmly accepted the usual availability settings, but reacted negatively to the help mode - as if it makes the game too simple. The authors decided to emphasize that the help mode is not an ordinary level of difficulty, it is intended primarily for those who would not be able to play in Dead Cellsif there was no such regime. After all, this is a single game, and helping some users will not disturb the impression of the gameplay in others, the creators write.
But some precautions have been taken: those who have turned on the relief regime will not fall into the table of leaders of the daily test and will not receive achievements.
Patch Breaking Barriers also brings changes for regular players:
- The "Show number of kills" option is now enabled by default
- Several old weapons received "reversals" and became more accurate
- In most starting items significantly reduced the cost.
