Dead Cells is rewarding in its flexibility in a way few games are. Each easily digestible run through its beautifully detailed and shifting levels instills a feeling of discovery and familiarity. It goads you to push the limits of your ability, and mercilessly crushes you when you get too comfortable. There are layers of strategy and tactics buried not only in the immediate choices you make, but in the grander metagame each run builds toward. Dead Cells is a triumphant union of instinct, forethought, fun, and failure.

That’s Dead Cells core concept in three little words. This Castlevania-inspired roguelike charges you with journeying through an ever-changing castle, surviving using only your wits, learned skills and a variety of different weapons and gadgets.
