Dead Cells

Nintendo
Released

Release Date: August 7, 2018

Singleplayer

An action game with roguelike and metroidvania elements by indie French studio Motion Twin. During the game, you explore a grim castle, whose elements (such as chambers, cloisters, and sewers) are procedurally generated. Given the permadeath system, it means that each new gameplay is a fresh experience, during which you can discover new parts of the fortress. An important aspect of Dead Cells is combat, which is very difficult.

Dead Cells is a two-dimensional, platform action game enriched with elements characteristic for roguelike and metroidvania production. The title was developed by an independent French studio Motion Twin.

Game world

At Dead Cells, we're in a dark fantasy world. The action is shown on the side, with the areas visited in the game are multilevel. The core of the game is exploration of gloomy locations, including dungeons, prisons, clock towers and canals.

Most of the locations in the Dead Cells is generated procedurally - at each new of the game, the layout of corridors, rooms or treasure boxes is completely different. The game also offers some freedom in choosing the order of visiting the location. Some areas have several different outputs and can lead to completely different places.
