Sep 3, 2023A really good roguelike-Metroidvania 2d game. i like the gameplay, the variety of weapons and the bosses. The story told me nothing and there is way too much additional content.

Official Xbox Magazine UKOct 21, 2018Tight action gameplay and beautiful sprite work make this an indie must-have. [Nov 2018, p.86]

Sep 17, 2018Dead Cells is an excellent game that will challenge and delight seasoned roguelike addicts, yet Motion Twin has also made it accessible to newcomers. The combination of roguelite and metroidvania genres wraps the bitter pill of permadeath in a sweet coating of exploration, with a solid progression system and plenty of reward loops to help inexperienced players get into the game. Meanwhile expert players can speed run, ramp up the difficulty level and equip the gear and mutations designed for skilled users. Dying repeatedly has never felt this good.

Sep 12, 2018I simply cannot think of anything that would make the Dead Cells game experience better. Its hard but not unfair, runs like a dream and plays like a lump of Teflon draped in silk. You need to play this game, and the retro graphics, while they may not be to everyone’s taste, really suit it, ensuring that it is just a pleasure to play.
