About the game

Dead Cells is a roguelite, metroidvania inspired, 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.

    I'd love to recommend Dead Cells. Objectively the game is great, combat is smooth, progression is fun, and the lore is surprisingly deep. That being said, I really, really hate how all the DLC are visible in every playthrough. It's a scummy way to make me try to buy the DLC when I don't want to. It isn't as bad as other games I've played but I have a low tolerance for this. When I buy a game I expect you not to ask…
