Dead Cells - Windows

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.The game takes place on an immense island that never changes. All of the biomes, bosses and the paths between them are present right from the start. Getting to them is another story.However, in Dead Cells, death replaces the traditional backtracking mechanic of a metroidvania. At first, seemingly unreachable areas will be strewn across your path, but answers to these riddles will appear as you explore the island. Be it a key, a new acrobatic skill or a forgotten spell. Once uncovered, this knowledge will stay with you, allowing you to unlock new paths to your goal. Sick of the stinking sewers? Head over the ramparts and take a breath of fresh air! It's your skill, playstyle and of course the loot you find that will determine your path.When there are no checkpoints to save you from your screw-ups, the adrenaline kicks in. And when you lose, you lose big, so you've got to make it out alive. Instead of relying on the classic formula of memorising the level design and enemy placement, procedural generation allows to reward your instincts, reflexes and ability to adapt to evolving situations.Don't expect it to be a walk in the park though. Pattern based monsters and demanding boss fights will teach you to choose your battles and build your strength. Every weapon has its own unique feel and rolling and dodging will become second nature, as you learn to manage the mobs of monsters that will overwhelm the unprepared.Tired of the violence and death? Explore a bit, take a stroll, enjoy the view from the ramparts, find a secret room. You might even learn a little more about the lore of the place, who knows?
