About Dead Cells
Dead Cells is a rogue-lite, Castlevania-inspired action-platformer from France based developers Motion Twin. The game allows you to explore a sprawling, ever-changing castle… assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers. To beat the game, you’ll have to master 2D “souls-lite combat” with the ever-present threat of permadeath looming.
- No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.
- Intense 2D action with the adrenaline pumping threat of permadeath in a castle full of cuddly creatures.
- Pattern-based bosses and minions, weapons and spells with unique gameplay.
- Nonlinear progression: Unlock new levels with every death, take a new path.
- Exploration: Secret rooms, hidden passages, charming landscapes. A fine place for a holiday.
