Dead Cells

Motion Twin’s roguelite Dead Cells is an old-school-style platformer game ideal for Metroidvania fans. As players progress through Dead Cells’ multitude of non-linear levels and areas, they can level and upgrade their character through new abilities and weapons, as well as spice up their gameplay with spells. Combat remains challenging, with five Souls-level difficulty bosses.
