After meteorites strike one world, one protagonist became infected with a virus allowing him to turn back time after death and live again - then sets out on an epic quest with this newly acquired ability. At locations, random maps generate where routes may vary while returning to previously visited ones is an option too! There are 7 biomes and 12 bosses. With 80 items including weapons like whips, various swords or even assault rifles you can build all manner of combinations while your opponents here include various fantasy monsters!
Dead Cells-inspired gameplay elements abound in BH; including its control scheme and interface; with five cells used by our hero; these cells contain health-restoring items with multiple charges; two weapons from any category, and any number of auxiliary items which recharge after use (spells, traps, debuffing enemies etc). Furthermore, our protagonist is free to run left/right; climb/cling onto ledges/ledges; jump from platforms; fight in close combat/shoot depending on equipment rarity); found items are replaced similarly; while leveling up stats is also similar.
