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.

Possibly One of the Best Roguelites

I have no words to describe this game but if I have to put it in to one word AWESOME. This a platformer with roguelites at its finest. There are tons of weapons to unlock and combinations with perks to try out with traps and abilities. Not only that procedurally generated have a fresh lay out for you to traverse along with that you can not only just jump, but you can also roll, ramp the ground and double jump even triple jump depending on your chosen items and perks along with wall running what I have found so far. Graphics are retro but have a nice art design and the music is great very fitting to levels or biomes which you can choose initially where you want to go while some linear but as I said game has a lot to offer when it comes to content. There's also lots of skin customizations for your character as well that come with hidden loot and secrets if you manage to find them. Interestingly some smart references to other popular indie games with content related to them as well seems like the game had collaborations with other developers. Having said that there's a lot to explore so go wild find hidden secrets and levels you will be surprised! Lastly my only complaint is the slow progression overall but with a great game loop the game still manages to entertain for hours on end. One other important point is to note is that as the game suggests on the main menu it is recommend you play with a controller although I have played with the keyboard still manage to play with my own key bindings (I play it on a smaller laptop with limited keys and without the mouse input).

Outstanding Roguelite-Metroidvania

Dead Cells (and ALL its DLCs) are as close to perfect as action packed Roguelite games can get. There's a gazillion things this game does right, but here are my favorite aspects of this great game. - Absurd weapon/skill/build variety: Dead Cells has literally over one hundred different weapons with their own move sets and strengths. You also level up with "scroll" items, which affects your health and how strong certain weapons/skills/deploy-ables/mutations are. Playing around with different builds each run makes the game always feel fresh. - Super challenging: Dead Cells is really hard and can become almost too hard if you use too many "Boss Cells" (you get one each time you beat the final boss on the hardest available difficulty). Each Boss Cell/Difficulty setting can introduce new enemies, tweak monster stats and how many times you can recharge your health and healing items. In my opinion, Dead Cells has a difficulty cap/ceiling of basically impossible (for me at least). BUT this is good because if you're patient and play enough, you'll probably reach a level where you can beat the hardest difficulty (and if not, it's still fun to stick with the difficulty setting that's most fun for you). - Gameplay Loop is AMAZING: So you pick a starter weapon, clear each level/biome, level up whatever stat you want and pick whatever skills you want, get increasingly powerful with new weapons, and defeat increasingly difficult bosses. You have a "Souls-like" dodge to completely avoid damage and mastering each enemy's attacks and your favorite weapons is SUPER satisfying. - Unlock Stuff/Great Progression: You get "Cells" from enemies and use them to upgrade shops/healing items/available weapons or skills/costumes and more! The permanent progression makes each run rewarding. I really don't know what else to say about this. Dead Cells has super fast paced, addicting combat with cool optional lore. Buy the game AND THE DLCS because they ROCK!
