Dead Cells Reviews
Go out and get it for your Switch, PC, or whatever, and just play it.
Dead Cells is an amazing rogue-like 2D action platformer. Fast, fluid combat is enjoyable, especially with the different weapons and tools you can find.
Plunge into ingenious shifting labyrinths to battle lethal beasts, in the knowledge that every gory failure makes you stronger
That the combat is so satisfying is the game's real boon, as without it the structure could lend itself to repetition.
Dead Cells is a success story of its kind. Generous, addictive, fun and sometimes frustrating, the title has enough to take you dozens and dozens of hours without you tired as its mastered concept easily pushes to video game bulimia.

Dying repeatedly has never felt this good.
This is not only one of the best action game of 2018, it's a modern classic that gives new life to a genre that we thought was starting to fade away.
The fun is in the combat without a doubt, and any action fan will have a great time with this one. Even if you don't normally enjoy Rogue-like style game, this is one of those you have to pick up.
Dead Cells is the ideal mix between metroidvania and roguelite, enhanced by a solid, fast and practically perfect arcade action, with a range of skills and weapons able to infuse a unique flavor to any adventure.

Dead Cells manages to perfectly combine several different genres and becomes one of the most important and interesting indie projects of 2018. Excellent mechanics, adequate balance of complexity, atmospheric locations, great level generation, nonlinearity and a huge number of all possible combinations of equipment make this game a must-buy. Especially if you like Metroid, The Binding of Isaac and Diablo.

Dead Cells sets a high bar for what can be accomplished within the framework of a Metroidvania. Each randomly generated encounter feels like it was handcrafted for the player and are as challenging as they are rewarding.
Dead Cells has raised the bar for the rogue-lite genre going forward.
The best roguelike of this generation and a bonafide Game of the Year contender, Dead Cells is simply beyond peer and utterly, utterly essential for anyone that owns a black plastic box stuffed with silicon that has 'PS4' scrawled upon it.
If tight, challenging combat, and infinite replayability in a charmingly depressing setting is your cup of tea, Dead Cells is the game for you.
Dead Cells is an excellent, challenging "roguevania" that encourages player experimentation and exploration across its beautiful levels.
And as painful as the end of a run can be, “Dead Cells’” steady introduction of new mechanics made it easy for me to pine for one more go. In my view, that’s the hallmark of a successful arcade experience.
Motion Twin's Dead Cells is a challenging and rewarding mash-up of two classic video game genres.
If you like roguelike or Metroidvania games, you'll love Dead Cells. It's unforgiving at times, but the experience remains constantly rewarding and enjoyable.
Dead Cells is one of those games that you can't miss. Among the best titles of its genre. A true gem.
