Frequently Asked Questions
Is Belmont’s Curse a roguelike like Dead Cells?
Evil Empire’s official gameplay commentary describes moving away from roguelike roots for this 2D action-adventure. Follow the current game’s save and progression rules rather than importing another game’s run structure.
Can I transfer a demo save to a different platform?
KONAMI’s published conditions require the demo and full game to use the same platform and account. Keep the demo save and update the full version before transfer.
What should I check if the PC game will not launch?
KONAMI reports a launch issue when V-Sync is off and FPS is Unlimited. Use the PC launch guide for its temporary Windows refresh-rate procedure, and distinguish that from the separate title-page language issue.
