    very good game but for those who like repeating it over and over, for me it more like a brake between AAA games. its impossible to spend even few hours per week playing it.

    The only negative I can thing of is that at a certain point in difficulty, the final boss becomes way too hard compared to reaching it, making it some kind of impassable progress point.

    If you like a 2D game with action, great controls, nice pace and even if you don't like some rogue-likes give this one a try. Feels more like the old rogue legacy in terms of progress, although for different reasons.    … Expand

    This game gave me solid 200 hours of fun. It's not for everyone. This is a rogue like metroidvania. This means that you will die a lot until you learn the mechanics of the game.

    I love this game even if I feel it has a few flaws with the progression and combat. First off, it's not a Metroidvania.

There's not much to exploring the world beyond getting more gold and cells, its more about getting to the next doorway and killing all those who oppose your journey. When you die, you go all the way back to the beginning and loose all currency and weapons on you. If you don't like to die a lot in video games, don't get this one. Dying is necessary in this game, and its basically how you get stronger. I feel this is where the game falters a little bit, it would be nice if you started back after the last boss, rather than the very beginning of the game, that way it doesn't feel as grindy and repetitive. That's basically my only complaint because, honestly, this game is amazing. Totally worth a buy, especially if you love roguelikes and hack-n-slashes.… Expand

    Performance is great - it feels silky smooth, runs well on most machines and works natively with a wide variety of controllers (though keyboard and mouse controls are supported and work perfectly fine).

    On top of a branching campaign with metroidvania elements, there's a daily challenge mode (complete with global leaderboards) and a recent update has also introduced a sandbox mode that allows you to play with a large collection of settings and modifiers.

    Since the initial launch on Early Access the developers have released a steady stream of updates and even released free DLC that introduces lots of new content and endgame challenges. There's plenty to sink your teeth into!    … Expand

    I usually don’t like Souls Bourne games, but I saw this one on sale and I figured that if I hated it, I could just request a refund via Steam. What ended up happening was I played it about 5 hours straight through in one sitting. It has a complexity and a charm to it that is amazing. The game is hard, don’t get me wrong but never felt unfair. As someone who is more of a casual gamer, II usually don’t like Souls Bourne games, but I saw this one on sale and I figured that if I hated it, I could just request a refund via Steam. What ended up happening was I played it about 5 hours straight through in one sitting. It has a complexity and a charm to it that is amazing. The game is hard, don’t get me wrong but never felt unfair. As someone who is more of a casual gamer, I play games for fun, not to be challenged but this never felt unbeatable or so frustrating that I couldn’t continue.

    The beauty of it is that unlike other roguelike games of this nature, you get to keep some things, anything you unlock is yours. While you really can’t choose a weapon from the beginning, unless you use Custom Game mode which I’ll get into later, the skills you unlock, you keep. What this means is that you won’t defeat everything on your first run. You’ll probably get past the first few areas, thinking it’s not too hard but then get destroyed on the third area.

    Yet, what makes this not a bad thing is that each build has its strengths and weaknesses. There are some builds that will make the game easier. There is also a custom game mode which you can edit variables. It doesn’t make it too easy, but you can also choose different starting equipment with this mode and even level it up before the game starts so that can give you a good advantage. Since I’m typically not a hardcore gamer, I used it and even with it, I felt it was challenging but while I experimented with different builds, eventually victory was mine and did it feel good.

    The game never felt unfair and that’s the point. It’s challenging but not so that you’ll hate it and give up. I feel anyone who plays video games with average reflexes could beat this. The enemies don’t swarm you; you can easily pace yourself and there are traps you can use to lure the enemies too. If you take your time and think about it before you jump into it, it is a beatable game. The satisfaction of beating a run is great.

    If you need more of a challenge, each time you beat the game, you can unlock harder difficulties until I think up to 5 runs. For myself, being more of a casual gamer, it took me about 7 hours until I had the right equipment and strategy that I won the first run. The run itself is short, about an hour or less but the prep getting there will make this game well worth the money.

    Don’t be put off by its hard difficulty that’s been advertised. It’s a damn good game with great visuals and a great soundtrack. The story, while very minimalistic was also full of atmosphere. I fully recommend this, even if you’re used to more easier games.    … Expand

Third, the generation of levels is a random method, and their connectivity is amazing, it took me many hours to remember every location in this game. Fourth, the enemies here, as well as the levels are varied, each of them has its own specific flavor. Bosses here is extremely small, even with DLC, but each of them is well remembered, but the approach to everything is simple, because they have similar boevki. Fifth, the complexity is decent and grows with the progress of the player, but sometimes when you move to other locations, it can change, and significantly. In total, there are 6 levels of difficulty, but for this Narottama need to collect the cells of the final boss. Seventh, there is a huge amount of weapons, equipment, if you list it all, and 30 minutes is not enough. Eighth, there is no plot, but rather LOR, which is told in parts, it does not oblige him to understand, I began to understand it only up to 5 passage. Ninth, the soundtrack in this game is just great. Summing up I would like to say, though there are small shoals, but their 1 or even 5 passage is not noticeable, and even more so do not interfere with enjoy the game. It is clear that the game has all hopes to remain successful in the future, well, at least I hope.… Expand

One of the ways Dead Cells tries to cover this up is through the incorporation of a sprawling unlock system; unfortunately, most of the unlocks don't add anything interesting to the game, especially since the in-run looting and progression is so mindless and bland. Item design and progression being weak force Dead Cells to rely on really one main thing to sustain attention, but this is something that it does extremely well: The dexterity element. Over the course of gameplay, Dead Cells regularly supplies the player with a string of dexterity-related challenges which are very satisfying and don't have too much down-time between them. This takes a fair bit longer than the rest of the game to get old, although it inevitably does as practice makes the fights progressively more mindless.

    ¿Os habéis perdido?
    Vamos por partes.
    Dead Cells comparte con los rogue-lite básicamente dos cosas:
    primero, tenemos grandes niveles
    que se generan aleatoriamente de nuevo
    cada vez que morimos,
    por lo que cada experiencia de juego es distinta.
    Segundo, tenemos muerte definitiva:
    si acaban con nosotros, volvemos a empezar desde el principio.
    Es una mecánica exigente que se remonta
    hasta los orígenes de los side scroller,
    que aquí se suaviza y moderniza, como ya hizo The Binding of Isaac.
    Vale, y ¿qué más?
    Dead Cells hereda de los juegos tipo Metroidvania
    la mezcla de exploración, plataformas
    y combate frenético y accesible
    y algunas habilidades permanentes tras la muerte.
    Como al morir empezamos de cero,
    esto se convierte en una especie de backtracking:
    podremos explorar áreas a las que antes no podíamos acceder,
    gracias a estas habilidades adquiridas más tarde.

    Dificultad

    Dead Cells es un juego accesible para todo el mundo
    pero desafiante en el largo plazo:
    la combinación de muerte definitiva con mecánicas de combate
    y upgrades dinámicas y muy divertidas
    hace que, aunque sea realmente difícil llegar lejos
    y el propio juego asuma que morirás muchas veces,
    cada nuevo run lo cojas con muchas ganas
    de volver a sembrar el caos y la destrucción.
    El juego tiene el toque de aventura mainstream,
    como los Metroid o Castlevania en los que se inspira,
    pero también hereda de estos una dificultad más elevada
    que la de muchos juegos de aventura y combate actuales.

    Las armas y los enemigos

    Como ya hemos comentado,
    tendremos una gran variedad de armas a nuestra disposición,
    y nuestras elecciones en este sentido
    marcarán nuestro estilo de combate.
    Espadas, mazas y otras armas cuerpo a cuerpo
    se completarán con granadas y otras armas arrojadizas,
    que también podremos ir mejorando.
    A los objetos ofensivos se sumarán también defensivos, como escudos y protecciones similares. La construcción de un estilo de combate personalizado nos llevará a ser más agresivos e ir a saco o a ser más sigilosos, memorizando el movimiento y patrones de los enemigos para poder vencerlos de manera inteligente. El combate, pues, es muy adaptable a cómo nos guste jugar, e irá variando según nuestro run o según el momento del juego. Estética Otro punto de contacto con los Metroidvania es la estética de Dead Cells, que combina las características ambientales, de diseño y de color de aquellos títulos. El juego luce un pixel art muy detallado y preciosista, con gran variedad de fondos que combinan la estética medieval con los componentes fantásticos. Pero esta base clásica incluye gran cantidad de efectos de animación modernos que consiguen que cada arma, cada nivel, cada run, se parezca a un organismo vivo y dinámico. Conclusión Accesible pero desafiante, vintage pero definitivamente moderno, Dead Cells se sube en la ola de indies actuales inspirados en éxitos 2D de los ochenta y los noventa pero consigue destacar entre toda la oferta, por su belleza, dinamismo en el combate, cuidado apartado técnico y de sonido y eficaz simplicidad de la propuesta. Tal vez no sea un Castlevania, pero como nueva actualización de las constantes de aquellos míticos juegos con los que crecimos, es uno de los mejores títulos del año.    … Expand

    В игре приятная рисовка, красивый и достаточно разнообразный сеттинг, саундтрек для каждой локации, который задает темп игре,что наверное вообще прорыв для платформеров, потому что зачастую в них на фоне играет однообразная скукота. Все это создает атмосферность , заинтересованность, и игрок действительно окунается в этот мир.
    Немало здесь и видов оружия и умений, но игра предоставляет возможность игроку не только подбирать себе его на любой вкус(более 50 видов), но также, за счет местного подобия раскачки, выбирать и тактику борьбы с врагами.
    Локаций здесь более , чем 10, каждая с разным дизайном , конечно же, присутствуют и секреты.
    Что касается сложности, то действительно доставляет проблемы только последний из 3 боссов , после десятка часов геймплея уже привыкаешь и не особо испытываешь проблем.
    Сама по себе игра пока (теоретически контент еще может добавляться) проходится полностью примерно за полтора часа, но при этом ее можно перепройти 4 раза с усложнениями, и каждое усложнение еще немного обновляет геймплей, добавляя новые функции и возможности.
    Из минусов-не очень большое количества контента,а именно: всего три босса за одно полное прохождение и недостаточное количество монстров на всю игру, поэтому и 9.
    Конечно же , может и поднадоесть постоянно бегать по одним и тем же локациям, но в нее лучше не играть по 10 часов подряд.

    Probably the best game this year! Didn't play it in early access, but have been playing it a lot since it got released. No wonder why this game is the highest rated game in the last 90 days and the second highest PC game in 2018.

    Astonishing audiovisual experience, absolutely pixel art masterpiece, unfortunately totaly ruined with absence of saving and unbalanced gameplay. Combination of underpowered and overpowered weapons and skill make gameplay random based. If there would be saving (eg. on each teleport portal) and possibility to buy weapon and skill directly (remove the stupid blueprint method) it would be 10/10.

    Even so, perseverance has its rewards. With experience comes knowledge of which weapons and encounters to prioritise, which routes to take, and how to get back to those tricky boss battles faster. When it all starts to come together, frustration fades and your love affair with Dead Cells' phenomenal fundamentals can start all over again.

    First off let me mention that could not get my controller to work for this game... yeah thats basically a deal breaker cant buy a controller for every game. And im fairly experienced with computers so if i cant get it to work its incompetence on the developers side.

    Not a fan of the music its not terrible but these type of game can live of the music alone if its good enough, this game it does not sink the game but does not help it either.

    Sadly while the controls are decent i dont die in epic boss fights its very simple mistakes from attrition of 30 very simple enemies from being to much in a hurry or just getting tired.
    Makes me think that maybe i gave cuphead to bad a grade since im really missing the big boss fights in this game were you can use skill to do some impressive things.
    I keep dying of things like slipping on a toilet seat and banging my head and it just makes me depressed rather then looking forward to trying it again since did not actually die on a hard thing its just doing easy things over and over without mistakes.    … Expand

    ead Cells is nothing less than a quintessential roguelike platformer. All of its individual elements are of top quality, from the highly responsive controls to the well-thought randomization of its varied leve

    oh boy. i don't even know where to start. gorgeous graphics. tight fighting and traversal. perfect fast travel locations. early access development was a treat and there will be a free update. lots of work has gone into balancing to satisfy willing casual gamers and masochist veterans. the timed door mechanic is very well implemented - there is the option to go slow even on the hardestoh boy. i don't even know where to start. gorgeous graphics. tight fighting and traversal. perfect fast travel locations. early access development was a treat and there will be a free update. lots of work has gone into balancing to satisfy willing casual gamers and masochist veterans. the timed door mechanic is very well implemented - there is the option to go slow even on the hardest difficulty, but still rewards going for them.

    the amount of valid character builds is staggering: two bows, two shields, spamming grenades or turrets, pulling your enemy with a chain like scorpion from mortal kombat and teleport behind him to use the backstabbing ability of your dagger and the list goes on. every weapon or skill has a different feel and caters to a certain play style without restricting the combinations too much.

    regarding progression there is an early game, adding movement options that also open up different paths to the final boss. mid game consists of unlocking permanent upgrades and weapons on the one hand and getting the skill as a player to be able to survive in the higher difficulties. there are many subtle mechanics that help the player to advance in skill what in my mind smoothens out the grinding curve very nicely. the end game is pretty meaty with daily competitive daily runs ( accessible from early game on ), tons of stuff to finally unlock and play around with and a hardest difficulty setting that deserves its name, unlocked by repeated new game +.

    while the normal difficulty setting is very forgiving and allows to refill the health potions after each level, there will be only the possibility to buy one swig ( of four ) for a ridiculous amount of gold, severely hurting the build, later on. the same principle is employed for enemy types and numbers. the game shapes the player from trading hits to sweeping through the levels looking like a piece of art.

    it's a must buy for any seasoned gamer for the amount of more or less well hidden references on other games, often nodding to its predecessors. the game oozes motion twins love for their project. in my humble opinion it is a milestone for the genre improving in many aspects on the already very good 'the binding of isaac'.    … Expand

    The game is okay... but it certainly doesn't warrent a rating of 90. Perhaps 80, at best... but not 90.

    Alright, well I've played quite a few hours of this game. I have one main complaint here. When you're getting to the second or third levels it is pretty obvious that it's impossible to continue defeating enemies without permanent upgrades.

    The developers made it obvious that you're meant to die so many times to progress. It's really frustrating and takes away some control over how good you really do. One of the number one rules of making games is to not take away control from the player or make it feel like things are out of their control, this game breaks that rule.    … Expand

    There are amazing cutscenes and dialogues with yourself and with other characters in the game worth seeing. This reminds me of the past when gamers used to be determined to complete a level stage to unlock the next cutscene feeding you more from the story of the game.

    Dead Cells is an adrenaline duty for every player. It gets you not only with a beautifully crafted dark world and countless weapons, but mostly with elaborated gameplay. [Issue#288]

    Combat is very satisfying: strikes have proper weight behind them, hitboxes are where you expect them to be and controls are very responsive. Procedural generation, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired: from playthrough to playthrough, levels feel too similar. [Issue#232, p.68]
