Indian Noob writes; "Dead Cells, with its fluid combat and impressive platforming, would have been better suited to being a classic metroidvania game with the roguelite elements being an additional challenge mode. Whatever fault it has lies in the roguelike department. But chances are you won’t notice even half of them during a casual run. That’s how Dead Cells is meant to be played- in short bursts of one or two runs with the player ‘getting good’ with each subsequent run. With its satisfying combat, smooth platforming, tight controls, non-linear progression and the sheer amount replayability, Dead Cells has broken new ground and has set the bar for future games in the genre to surpass."
