If you want to play a worthy successor to the long line of Metroidvania classics and are willing to experience rogue-like difficulty to get it, Dead Cells is an experience worth having over and over again.
Dead Cells is one of the best rogue-vania games I’ve ever played. The visuals are to die for and it runs beautifully (docked and handheld), but the best facet is that the combat is ultra responsive.

Das Spiel ist wirklich super vorallning für den Preis. Ich habe das Spiel selbst mehrere Hundert Stunden gespielt und durch den erhöhten schwirigkeitsgrad bleibt eine gewisse Herausforderung forhanden.

Given the game’s structure will usually lead to short playthroughs, these short sessions won’t feel that empty and with the amount of unlockables means I’ll be playing for quite the while before all the empty jars in the opening area are filled. With this summer having other similar platformers releasing (La-Mulana 2, Iconoclasts, Chasm, Salt and Sanctuary, Death’s Gambit, and Guacamelee 2), Dead Cells definitely will hold its own and it will be in contention to be one of 2018’s finest.
Dead Cells is a masterful roguelike platformer with some of the most satisfying combat around and a beguilingly appealing dark-fantasy world to explore.
Roguelikes are aimed primarily at gameplay junkies who thrive on a challenge. Dead Cells, by contrast, is a game designed for those who don't particularly like roguelikes.
Dead Cells takes the best gameplay elements from Metroidvania and rogue-lite games and combines them into something that sinks its hooks into you and won't let go.
Being in development for such a long time, Dead Cells avoids the trap and lives up to its expectations. Nevertheless, only those brave enough to face its strong difficulty will be able to discover a deep and generous adventure. Despite a certain level of repetitiveness, even though the randomly generated levels still are hand-driven, Dead Cells' offers a brilliant artistic direction and a great but discreet soundtrack.
Dead Cells is a very good game, its graphics, gameplay, weapons, skins, etc. They are practically perfect, they deserve a 10/10.

A bit linear over time (no DLC). Fortunately, the difficulty mode scales at an appropriate rate to be constantly demanding but beatable.

An incredible rogue-like dungeon crawler with creative weapons and decent difficulty.

don't make my mistake: read reviews carefully. I thought it was a good metroidvania game, instead it's one of those games where you keep on dying and the map changes so you don't learn from your mistakes to go on. I don't see what's so funny in keep playing. I hate that there's no refund for purchase in eshop. can't even throw it from the window cause it's a digital game.

Summary Dead Cells is a rogue-lite, metroidvania action-platformer. You'll explore a sprawling, ever-changing castle... assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers in 2D souls-lite combat. No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.
