    Our analysis

    Dead Cells is an incredibly ambitious roguelite-metroidvania hybrid that combines skill-based progression with grueling endgame content and excessive loot grinding. While the challenging gameplay and constant updates keep it fresh, the completion rewards are disappointing cosmetics that don't justify the massive time investment.

    Our analysis

    Dead Cells is one of the creator's top 5 roguelikes with supremely satisfying and responsive gameplay, massive progression, and developer support. However, the game features potentially overwhelming progression grinds and demanding difficulty scaling that may not suit all players.
