    Do you love Metroidvanias, but hate how you don't lose all your progress when you run into a tough boss or get stuck n a spike pit? Than this is the game for you! Seriously though, I have a love/hate relationship with this game. It was rough at first, but thankfully I ended up more towards the former than the latter.
    It can be beyond frustrating to die and start again with nothing.

    It can be beyond frustrating to die and start again with nothing. I told myself I would give it up a number of times. I couldn't let go, and eventually got a play through with some serious fire power and completed it.
    On the plus side, you essentially get a new Super Metroid game every time you play. That's pretty darn cool.
    Time will tell if I come back and to it again. There are better endings and plenty of unfound upgrades to go for, but I'm satisfied for now.    … Expand

    It's a good game, mostly because it emulates Super Metroid quite well, if not too good that it will never be its own game. The flat colors hurt the environments and atmosphere. Other than that it's quite enjoyable.

    Something about this game really let me down, but it certainly tries to be a Metroid game! I don't think "metroidvania" and rogue-like belong together by principle, but Dead Cells did alright. I'll be honest, this is not a great game and I'm genuinely confused by the positive reviews. I don't want Metroid on the go in short bursts.

This game fails to invite me to whatever party it must be having with other players.… Expand

    If you like classic Metroid, you'll probably like this. I wanted the rogue-like structure to do more than just unlock possible items, I wanted more character progression between runs to make the runs slightly better each time. The shrines and other places to present offerings were confusing and I never got any use out of them.

    It has its flaws in some concepts, but it knows how to compensate them by shining brilliantly in other aspects. Of course, the idea is not genuine, but does that matter when it’s the best current option to live again what we felt when we tried the game in the 94 for the first time?

    A Robot Named Fight is a fun experience that can either be played for short bursts or huge multiple hour gaming sessions, either way this game is very fun is highly replayable.

    This game tries to unite two very different genres and succeeds a little bit by imitating Super Metroid. However, many elements feel very repetitive because you keep on seeing the same spaces and items.
