DETAILS

DEVELOPER: Motion Twin
PUBLISHER: Motion Twin

Dead Cells is a rogue-lite, metroidvania inspired, 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.

TRAILER

DLC

Out now

Coming early 2022

LATEST UPDATES

This is quite an old game now but it's one of the best of its genre and is still being updated with new content both free and paid (New paid content is coming in early 2022)

They recently had an update adding characters from other games such as Guacamelee and Hollow Knight!

I recently wiped my old save so I can start this again from scratch with all the new content, anyone else still play this/thinking of going back to it?

Anyone picked up the newest DLC yet? Want to go back to this at some point this year but I’ll likely start a fresh save file and get all the DLC

Nope. Not played the DLC, yet, but am replaying the base game and am hooked all over again. The balancing tweaks are mostly positive, too. Bosses and elites feel easier, but my guess is they'll be nails once boss cells are activated for a play through.

I love this game, and had no idea there was new DLC, so will go back soon enough (playing on switch).

I tried some of the meatier weapons yesterday after a gold level sword dropped and... they're so good! The weight of the hits landing feels so devastating. And that's with rumble switched off!

My usual tactics involve some form of ice attack (ice bow or the ice hadoken) and then just hacking away at them. And for grenades and traps I go for ice grenade, again, and the wolf trap. Handy to root bosses, elites and fast enemies, and when you're swamped against mobs and need to get out of Dodge.

For those who are unsure about it, Jim Sterling does a good job of getting over why it's so good:

NNNNNNNNNGH! One downside to the game is dying early-ish and then having to get back up to speed with upgrades but rng keeps strawberry floating you over and nothing goes your way re weapons and the game just feels realllllly off and slow and icky. strawberry float!!!!!!!!

Yeah this has been on my shopping list for the Switch for ages now, and seems right up my street. Once I've cleared my backlog of similar stuff, I'll be jumping right in, hopefully by the end of the year. Celeste and Hollow Knight are also on there.

You'll be in hog heaven with all that lot to play. Wow. (I still have Celeste to play.)

This is really cool from Motion Twin, they are currently working on a patch to add a ton of accessibility options. Along with features to help less abled gamers, they are adding Assist Mode which includes difficulty adjustment sliders (Much like I have ask for in the past) so it will give more options for anyone to enjoy Dead Cells!

More Indie characters being added to Dead Cells including Shovel Knight and the main guy from Hotline Miami!

Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania will cost $9.99 USD when it launches for PC (including Steam) and consoles in "Q1" next year. "Yes, this is an increase from our usual price of $4.99 for a DLC," the developer notes, "but this reflects the fact that the scope of this DLC is quite a lot bigger than previous DLCs, as well as the inclusion of the Castlevania IP."

Amazing. I hope Alucard is playable as SOTN meets Dead Cells would be my perfect game.

Started a new save file on this, bought the rest of the DLC in last years Switch Xmas sale, this game is so good and it’s so packed full of content and settings/features you can tinker with at this point. Want to get up to speed with get as much unlocked as I can prior to the Castlevania expansion coming soon.

Dead Cells has now sold 10 million copies ( :shock:

) and even more DLC is planned, right through to 2025.

Evil Empire Studio wrote:"Following the success of Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania, Evil Empire has been exploring the path forward for the title as a whole," Dead Cells' developement team said today.

"With years of successful updates and expansions behind it after taking over live ops of Dead Cells in 2019, the studio is tinkering with its time-tested methodology, experimenting with ideas for future updates and new ways for fans to enjoy one of their favorite roguelikes."

Fantastic game, still need to pick up the Castlevania DLC but I played through all the others. Glorious game!
