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.
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.
Dead Cells is a masterclass in excellent roguelike design, mixing together nonstop intense action sequences, gorgeous vistas, and an addictive loop of unlocks and rewards into a beautiful experience that no Switch owner will want to go without.
Go out and get it for your Switch, PC, or whatever, and just play it.
August 19 will mark the end of an era for Dead Cells fans as the Motion Twin and Evil Empire roguelike game announces an update.
