TSA writes: “The oxymoronic nature of a rogue-lite metroidvania is hard to ignore. The inherent chaos of a rogue-lite just doesnt mesh with the idea of a handcrafted and lovingly created order that a metroidvania embodies. It seems nobody told Motion Twin, the developers of Dead Cells, that this was the case, or if they were warned, they just went ahead and did it anyway.”
