About Dead Cells
Dead Cells is a roguelike action-platformer where you battle through an ever-shifting castle as an immortal soul possessing different bodies, losing your host each time you die but keeping permanent progression like unlocked paths and new weapons. Tough-as-nails 2D combat with responsive controls and zero checkpoints demands you master the combat system and memorize enemy patterns to survive brutal runs and reach the final boss.
Dead Cells puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what's happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly cursed Island. Immortal but crippled, your last resort is to take over bodies in order to move, explore… and fight.
While you may well be immortal, the corpses you possess are not. Each time your host is destroyed, you will be sent back to the dungeon to find yourself a new one and start again...
Experience a Roguevania, mixing an interconnected world, branching paths and unlockable skills with the constant adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath. No checkpoints. You either vanquish the final boss in one go or you try again. However, you keep some of your progress for successive runs new paths you’ve unlocked, access to new levels, mutations, abilities and weapons.
Tough but fair combat, responsive controls, challenging foes, and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble make for a visceral and cathartic action game.Dead Cells — game info

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Dead Cells is widely praised for its engaging combat, beautiful art style, and addictive gameplay that keeps players coming back despite its high difficulty. However, some players find the roguelike progression system frustrating, feeling that unlocks don't provide meaningful progress and that success depends too heavily on luck rather than skill.
7.5/10 its hard and grindy - wish the game would keep the ♥♥♥♥ you unlock if you died. - could be a little less grindy to unlock some of the most basic things like a single health potion4 found this helpful
really peak game, can be stressful sometimes
Love this game. 10/10. Makes games like hades feel poorly paced.
Everything I wanted from a metroidvania. High replayability. Nice art, great sound design. Even adds non-linearity with the level exit selection, which widens as new skills are learned. Highly recommend.
this game is very fun
Awesome metroidvania rougelike
