Dead Cells
Description
Dead Cells is a roguelite, metroidvania inspired, action-platformer. You'll explore a sprawling, ever-changing castle... assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers in 2D souls-lite combat. No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.
Dead Cells puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what's happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly cursed Island. Immortal but crippled, your last resort is to take over bodies in order to move, explore… and fight.
While you may well be immortal, the corpses you possess are not. Each time your host is destroyed, you will be sent back to the dungeon to find yourself a new one and start again...
Experience a Roguevania, mixing an interconnected world, branching paths and unlockable skills with the constant adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath. No checkpoints. You either vanquish the final boss in one go or you try again. However, you keep some of your progress for successive runs new paths you’ve unlocked, access to new levels, mutations, abilities and weapons.
Tough but fair combat, responsive controls, challenging foes, and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble make for a visceral and cathartic action game.

90/100
A stellar action platformer with gorgeous presentation and excellent combat. Punishing but worth it.

The Metroidvania at its best: a swaggering role-playing beat-'em-up that's very easy on the eyes and dense with secrets.

9.5/10
Dead Cells fuses breakneck motion with an emphasis on risk-and-reward for an incredibly engaging action-platformer.

Great game!
This is a great game. Once you get acquainted with the mechanics, it's perfect for 30 minutes sessions in the evening

This is one of the greatest games ever
I have lost track of the number I've played Dead Cells. It's such a good game.

A herdcore roguelike for a filthy casual
Like so many of its ilk, Dead Cells can be punishingly difficult. The learning curve between the various stages of the game ramps up rapidly, tutorials are limited mostly to button prompts and text boxes, and the difference between victory and brutal defeat often comes down to a razor-thin margin. UNLIKE others, Dead Cells recognizes that not everyone who might be interested is a diehard tryhard. Numerous accessibility options open up the game to a more casual audience without sacrificing the clean, precise gameplay. And beyond the difficulty curve, the game is stellar. Tongue-in-cheek humor, a surprisingly deep story woven seamlessly into a minimalist approach to storytelling, magnificent level design and Metroidvania progression, and buttery-smooth gameplay & animation that will leave your jaw dropping and draw you in. Best of all - the DLC is woven throughout the game rather than chunked off into its own separate mess, to the point that it feels like it's always been there. I, myself, don't have the reflexes or skill for a Souls-difficulty roguelike - but that doesn't have to matter with Dead Cells, and I've enjoyed it IMMENSELY. Hopefully this eventually gets some sort of Ultimate Edition with everything bundled together - but it's worth purchasing a la carte, either way.
