From GameInformer: “Designed as a side-scrolling roguelike with heavy inspiration drawn from the Castlevania games, Dead Cells brilliantly squashes any frustration that arises from death with reassurances that most of the work the player puts in before their final breath adds up to something meaningful. The next run will be better because of the time and effort put into the last. This boost of confidence makes Dead Cells a dangerous game, as I continually found myself saying just one more run. As the clock turned from night to early morning and I made more gains in weapons, perks, and areas to explore, I didnt want to put the game down.”
