Pitch-perfect controls and combat
Challenging without being cheap
A somewhat steep difficulty curve
Motion Twin's challenging but fair take on the Metroidvania is one of 2018's most highly-praised titles and took home the Game Award for Best Action Game. A simply stunning side-scrolling adventure, it's not to be missed.
Dead Cells Release Date Announcement Trailer - Available August 7, 2018
Dead Cells coming to console in 2018!
Dead Cells - You'll get better... Eventually.
A stellar action platformer with gorgeous presentation and excellent combat. Punishing but worth it.
Dead Cells fuses breakneck motion with an emphasis on risk-and-reward for an incredibly engaging action-platformer.
The Metroidvania at its best: a swaggering role-playing beat-'em-up that's very easy on the eyes and dense with secrets.
One of the best made Metroidvanias of recent years, but despite all the clever inspiration taken from other games it's a shame it doesn't have more unique ideas of its own.
The reward loops are addictive and continually open up new things for the player to explore
Dead Cells is an incredibly satisfying mishmash of genres that's more than the sum of its parts.
The field of indie roguelike Metroidvanias is littered with competition, but Dead Cells stands out by focusing on movement and combat. None of its peers feel as good in their moment-to-moment play.
Dead Cells, the 2018 Game of the Year winning roguelite action game, is getting yet more DLC in the form of Fatal Falls, arriving early in 2021.
