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.

macOS version is
Everything has been already said about the game itself - it's simply great! But for crying out loud - make the Mac version proper macOS application! You know - with icon which can appear in Launchpad and not opening in terminal... At first you might even thing that it didn't install properly. That is really weak. Gra się świetnie, ale czy serio jest tak trudno zapakować aplikację w natywną dla systemu formę? Po instalacji, jak ktoś nie jest przyzwyczajony do odpalania "terminalowych" binarek, to można uznać że coś poszło nie tak. Trochę wstyd, że nie poświęcili tych paru minut na dorobienie tego jak należy.
