Level cap? (Plus a few extras)

[Helldiablo]

I’ve been loving this game since it came to switch and (to my knowledge) I’ve seemed to have 100% the game. (or at least do most things.) Even reach the level cap of 40. But… I’m not sure if it’s the true level cap. Is it? Because (and this is a light spoiler) late in the game, you get slight control over the main villain temporarily and if you check his stats, his level is 50 (I think.). Does that mean that 50 is the level cap and there is a secret way to unlock it? Or is 40 the final max?

(Also different note, but I wish this game had just a few more things in it. Maybe in a future update or something. Mainly a new game plus mode and a hard difficulty. Not that the game isn’t hard but with certain strategies, I can destroy the rest of the game and even the post game with specific strategies which is fun, but I wish for a true ultimate challenge. Like a rematch against an even harder version of the superboss or even a boss rush.) (Also, are there any plans to bring the first game to consoles? I would love to play it after mastering this game.)

Thank you very much for the kind words Helldiablo - I really appreciate you letting me know, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the game so much. Congratulations on 100%!

Level 40 is indeed the cap, so sorry for the confusion. Originally it was going to be 50, but then I realised that the EXP curve in the game didn't really justify that. So while thinking about the upcoming Free DLC for the postgame, I decided it would be better to make it 40 (since most players finish the game around level 31-35). So you've definitely made it all the way!

I've got some great news about challenge, because the Free DLC adds a 50 room postgame dungeon with seven superbosses that are tuned to use more complex/out-there strategies and prove a greater challenge than anything in the base game. So I think you'll really enjoy them! Some of them are rematches with new mechanics and phases, while others are totally new. The Free DLC should be out in early 2025 :D

The first game is unfortunately trapped on PC at the moment, due to the old engine it was made with. But my hope is to remake it in a newer engine and bring it up to the sequel's standard, so that I can port it to consoles. Please stay tuned on that point =)

Thanks! Also, funny thing about the challenge. After posting the first post, I just found out about that Christmas pack with the Glitchite. So I’m tackling that now. (So I guess I haven’t fully completed it yet.)And if you do bring the first game over, I can’t wait. Same with the 50 room dungeon! Great job on the game and I’m having a great time!

Oh that's fantastic to hear! I hope you enjoy it; the final fight in the Glitchite quest has a very unusual mechanic ;) But thank you very much! I really hope you enjoy what I've got planned for the future :D
