Dead Cells
Developer Motion Twin
Dead Cells is a 2018 roguelike-Metroidvania game developed by French independent developer Motion Twin. The player takes the role of an amorphous creature called the Prisoner. As the Prisoner, the player must fight their way out of a diseased island in order to slay the island's King. The player gains weapons, treasure and other tools through exploration of the procedurally generated levels. From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

unlabelledView post →Undertale has no VO Deltarune has no VO Celeste has no VO Dead Cells has no VO No Man's Sky has no VO OneShot has no VO Stardew Valley has no VO You can make a great game without a VO. Pretending like the only way to do anything as an indie is to use AI is extremely harmful.

unlabelledView post →That it's made by the Dead Cells devs and is catching all this heat out of nowhere is ALSO insane, because when Dead Cells had its CV collab DLC, people hoisted it up to the high heavens, saying the devs should be allowed to make their own CV game. "Just give the series to these guys." (cont.)

unlabelledView post →belmont's curse demo thoughts - The worst expository dialogue I've ever seen - The single track I heard is terminally sauceless in a series renowned for deeply sauceful music - The sound design is very weak and it hurts the game feel - It's *way* better than Dead Cells
unlabelledView post →Yep. By the Dead Cells team. The demo dropped today. The full game releases in two weeks.
unlabelledView post →My honest opinion of the Castlevania demo: Just play Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth instead. I didn't like Dead Cells and I was super skeptical about the new game being made by that studio, no shade to them, but this isn't it for me. It makes me so upset. I want to be excited but I can't.
unlabelledView post →I've never played Dead Cells but you can really tell these devs have only made roguelites, where the absurdly powerful builds you can luck into can be a crutch for terrible game feel. No such luck in a 2D Igarashi style Castlevania, where movement and enemy interaction really has to feel good
unlabelledView post →I have never played Dead Cells, but This game is actually really good. I can't stop thinking about it after the demo ended now. I might have to preorder it now. Don't know if I should get it on Steam or Switch 2.
unlabelledView post →I tried Hades, made slow progress up to the second boss. Then got an insane RNG load out and trounced everything, including the final boss. I think it was 14 runs in total. I never played the game again after that. It just felt pointless I recently played Dead Cells and enjoyed it - with assists
unlabelledView post →Ori: I know this is published by Xbox but this game got me more into indie titles, like Dead Cells Undertale and Slay the Spire. Nier: When I finished this game I considered it the best game I ever played. Gorgeous action RPG with a fantastic narrative.

unlabelledView post →I've been thinking about the Dead Cells board game since I saw it at PAX, but didn't wanna drop 80 bucks on a whim for something I will play Maybe Once ...and then I found out that playable Bobby (the animated rendition of The Beheaded) is Kickstarter only and now I'm like nvm I'm good
unlabelledView post →Howdy yall! For today's special stream we're celebrating my 2nd Twitch Affiliate Anniversary! And we're doing so with Dead Cells, the very first game I streamed! 🐻⚔️ www.twitch.tv/bartjunior
unlabelledView post →Felt similarly (exception: haven't played Dead Cells). My thought was the exposition may have been an attempt to appeal to people that only watched the animated series? It didn't feel right. I liked using the whip to swing around. Maybe the full game picks up after you get more abilities like that.
unlabelledView post →I did this and it became my favorite game ever. Also the nail in Dead Cells slaps
unlabelledView post →I think there are a few who are hating on the game, but the majority seems genuinely excited. Evil Empire did a great job and built on what they and Motion Twin started with Dead Cells and the Return to Castlevania DLC. Hopefully, this continues much like Nintendo and Mercury Steam.
unlabelledView post →It’s from the company behind Dead Cells. A good game, sure, but… Castlevania needs to be Castlevania. I would argue (even though Im still very very early) that Blood of the Dawnwalker is more Castlevania than CoB
unlabelledView post →One good Dead Cells run can turn into an all-day addiction! 😂 In this clip of the Boss Rush Podcast, Corey Dirrig, LeRon Dawkins, and Andre Wilson talk about the addictive combat and satisfying combos that keep pulling players back into Dead Cells. Once you get hooked, there may be no going back! This and more on the Boss Rush Podcast, part of the Boss Rush Network. #DeadCells #DeadCellsGame #Gaming #Roguelike #BossRushPodcast
