SQXO: Dead Cells is a joy to play if youre patient. Combat is slick and carries a lot more depth than you could expect from a Castlevania inspired action platformer. The merging of this style with the rogue-like genre works exceedingly well and is one of the main reasons you will continue to die over and over, yet still want to push further each time. The settings are grim, and the characters are bizarre and wonderful, making Dead Cells one of the best looking games of its genre, and certainly one of the best.
