About This Game
Dead Cells is a roguelite action platformer with strong Metroidvania influences, released for Nintendo Switch on August 7, 2018. You play as a small green mass that seeps into a headless body in a prison cell and brings it back to life. The prison sits on a diseased island beneath a towering castle, and your goal is to fight upward, reach the throne room, and slowly piece together how the island and its people fell apart.
Every attempt starts from the beginning, because the island rearranges its areas, enemies, and loot each time you set out. Dying costs you the weapons you were carrying, but the cells you collected can be spent on permanent unlocks, including new blueprints, extra health flask refills, and mutations that carry into later runs. The combat is fast and unforgiving, mixing swords, bows, shields, traps, and grenades, with dodges and parries deciding many fights. Branching exits let you pick safer or riskier routes, and finishing a run opens harder difficulty levels with stronger enemies and better rewards.
