Description

Dead Cells is a roguelite, 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.


Dead Cells puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what's happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly cursed Island. Immortal but crippled, your last resort is to take over bodies in order to move, explore… and fight.


While you may well be immortal, the corpses you possess are not. Each time your host is destroyed, you will be sent back to the dungeon to find yourself a new one and start again...


Experience a Roguevania, mixing an interconnected world, branching paths and unlockable skills with the constant adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath. No checkpoints. You either vanquish the final boss in one go or you try again. However, you keep some of your progress for successive runs new paths you’ve unlocked, access to new levels, mutations, abilities and weapons.


Tough but fair combat, responsive controls, challenging foes, and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble make for a visceral and cathartic action game.

Amazingly fun and addicting. Plays great on handhelds like the Steam Deck. One of the greatest roguelites of all time, and the metroidvania elements are fun too. Get it with all the DLCs at once, and play it together

Smooth, fast gameplay with a randomized metroid-vania feel. Great 2d platformer for when you have 15 minutes or 5 hours, this game keeps it interesting and fresh every time you play. Intuitive controls with keyboard or

Bought this on a whim and suddenly 40 hours of my life are gone. The "just one more run" addiction is incredibly real. The combat is so buttery smooth it honestly ruins other platformers for you. You will die. A lot.

I probably have 100+ hours on this on the Nintendo Switch and a couple more here because this game is easily one of the best pick-up-and-play rougelites I've played. Not too easy, not too difficult, with a ton of

Great game, however, pretty hard. If you are looking to sit in your sofa, grab your Steam Deck or controller to play and relax, this game will NOT be it. Overall though, fun game, meant to be played over and over and
