Dead Cells is a rogue-lite, 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 fuses breakneck motion with an emphasis on risk-and-reward for an incredibly engaging action-platformer.
After 30-odd years of pillaging fantasy realms I'm pretty sick of video game loot, but I do love poring over the viciou…
A Metroidvania that doesn’t feel restrained by its influences
In my first game of Dead Cells, I died after about four minutes. In my most recent one, I lasted almost an hour. The time difference between those two
A fantastic and often punishing action platformer.
Dying is never fun in games of this ilk, but Dead Cells' well-designed reward loop softens that blow and bolsters all subsequent runs.
Dead Cells has raised the bar for the rogue-lite genre going forward.
Dead Cells is a masterclass in excellent roguelike design, mixing together nonstop intense action sequences, gorgeous vistas, and an addictive loop of unlocks and rewards into a beautiful experience that no Switch owner will want to go without.
Dead Cells is an incredibly satisfying mishmash of genres that's more than the sum of its parts.
