Dead Cells is a mix of roguelite, Metroidvania, and action platformer from the French developer studio Motion Twin. It combines gameplay from modern games like Rogue Legacy and Binding of Isaac with classics like Castlevania: SotN.
You play as “The Prisoner” through a castle, aiming to eliminate the island’s king at the end. The 2D battles were inspired by the “Souls” series.
Here you can see a trailer for Dead Cells:
Fight your way through the castle with various weapons and spells
You explore the castle, which has secret rooms and hidden passages, and it changes constantly. The game is non-linear, so you can decide where to go first.
The character and weapons can also be upgraded throughout the game. With permanently unlockable special abilities, new paths will open up.
But you will also encounter tough guardians in the castle and fight for your life. The game features over 50 different weapons and spells with which you can prove yourself.
However, dying in the roguelite is almost a given and you will be thrown back to the start of your journey as a player repeatedly.
As you gradually learn to overcome the various hurdles in the game, you will grow stronger, bringing you closer to your ultimate goal with skilled gameplay.
