Dead Cells

Dead Cells is a rogue-lite, Castlevania-inspired action-platformer from Motion Twin. It was released on August 7, 2018. It will allow you to explore a sprawling, ever-changing castle… assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers.

To beat the game, you’ll have to master 2D souls-like combat with the ever-present threat of permadeath looming. No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.


 * RogueVania: Intense 2D action with the adrenaline pumping threat of permadeath in a castle full of cuddly creatures.
 * Souls-like combat: Pattern-based bosses and minions, weapons and spells with unique gameplay. Roll roll roll your boat gently down the stream...
 * Nonlinear progression: Unlock new levels with every death, take a new path. Tired of the stinking sewers? Why not take the ramparts?
 * Exploration: Secret rooms, hidden passages, charming landscapes. A fine place for a holiday.

Development
Dead cells was developed by Motion Twin but in August 2019 it was taken over by a new team named Evil Empire so Motion twin could focus on new projects.

Development of the mobile version is handled by an outside studio, Playdigious, and is several updates behind.
