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.

Pretty Good

Wish it was less of a colectathon. Nice concept and solid effort all around.

Bait and switch gameplay

Note: I played this on the Switch primarily. This was a disappointing game. Like so many roguelikes, it has an interesting atmosphere and a wide variety of weapons and tactics with which you can progress through the levels. Ranged, deployables, melee - lots of options. What it also has - that virtually every other roguelike has as well - is cage match bosses in tiny areas where the only thing that will let you win is twitch reflexes and high DPS. Better hope you didn't choose a weapon with a slow animation; better hope you're good at dodging. You're not going to win any other way. Plus there are input handling issues - mostly unpredictable latency - which make the twitch gaming aspect less than enjoyable. I never quite knew if I'd roll in time, which made battles nerve racking since every moment felt like a gamble. Plus there are weird problems like enemy melee attacks penetrating walls (when yours can't) or homing attacks from off screen (which is worse when there's a rather large cooldown between dodges) so you can dodge right into something which ruins your streak - or kills you. Great idea, superficially good execution. Scratch the surface even a little, though, and that veneer of polish wipes off like fresh paint.
