Dead Cells is a unique Rogue-Like indie game that has a very dark feel to it. The game has a Metroid map and could be dubbed a Metroidvania genre game. It also has tons of RPG elements and it seems to blend several games together. Castlevania, Metroid, and Dark Souls are the three games I feel this game represents in one little side-scroller. Many gamers know that to have those three amazing franchise as an influence could mean great things. Does Dead Cells hold up with the best of them? I encourage you all to read my Strategy Guide on the game and find out! Remember this is a smaller title with a much smaller budget than monster games like Zelda Breath of the Wild. However, If I don't like a game I will generally say it, give little information or not do the guide at all. In this case, I encourage my readers once again to read the guide as an Enchantment experience to the game Dead Cells. Finally, if you are enjoying the guide then I am enjoying the game. The game come to Nintendo Switch very soon and is already available on PC/Steam.

How to Play

Dead Cells is a strange game at first glance. When players die in the game they will generally lose all of their equipment and gear. However, there are permanent items and permanent functions that happen during the game. This is the games way of rewarding a grinding player and teaching the player how to become more skillful at the game all at once.

Players will collect Cells as the defeat enemies randomly throughout the game. This is a form of currency and it can be used at the Collector. The Collector will give certain blueprints and permanent perks to the player as the player unlock them with dead cells. For example, a Health Potion cost 5 Dead Cells at the start of the game. Use the dead cells and the potion will always be in your inventory. If you want to upgrade the potion to be able to use it twice, players will then need to give the collector 50 dead cells!

Players will also gain permanent upgrades as they defeat bosses or in other odd situations. For defeating the first boss players will be able to Tickle the slimes on the ground. When tickled with the upgrade, these slimes will grow and the protagonist can climb them to reach previously inaccessible areas or levels. Players will also be unlocking blueprints along the way. This will make the game much easier as we can have more powerful weapons available in our arsenal.

There are tons of melee weapons, ranged weapons, bombs, grenades, tools and more! It has a very RPG feel mixed with tons of Metroid and Castlevania elements. Players can even change their eating style to Castlevaniaeqsue! It is quite and throwback and rather cheap. For absolutely any fan of the Metroidvania Genre, you should get this game on Nintendo Switch or even Steam! For those looking for some awesome action, love weapons, variety and some rarely well-done RNG, this is also a game of choice.
