Great game worth the wait for the physical version

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

Even though I had to wait a couple of extra days for the physical version of this game I'm glad I did since I prefer physical over digital versions of games. Even though it was not posted in the listing it came with a mini art book included which is a nice little bonus. The gameplay is great after playing for hours and hours I kept coming back for more,the way the dungeons randomly generate is great giving you a new challenge every time you play. And since it is a physical version there is nothing quite like being able to share this with friends and family members that also own a switch.

Quite the game

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

It is not for the faint of heart for sure. Very fast paced combat in a lot of zones and small mistakes can certainly lead to a quick death. I've had a lot of hours having fun with this game, and of course deaths that make me want to cry but you pick up and keep going.

One thing I like but also don't like is the weapons and how they work. The weapon drops are random from the list of items you have unlocked, so if you know what you are doing, you will unlock only the weapons you like and you'll have a much higher chance to get only those items, but of course you dont always know how useful things are before you unlock them. I took some risks with unlocking and some were absolutely worth it, and some were very detrimental. The other thing is that you NEED to unlock some number of weapons to unlock the character upgrades. I would love if you could deactivate some/all the weapons that you dont want to use, but without that ability, then that just means planning ahead is crucial to get further in the game as the game does ramp up in difficulty fairly quickly as you progress.

This game has not left my switch since I bought it. The replay value is off the charts, and it feels like it is *made* for the switch. I can pick it up, play half a level, hit power on the switch, and come back an hour later, and its INSTANTLY there.

Its definitely a game that once you get a routine down, its a lot easier....but then you turn the difficulty up one notch, and all of a sudden you are getting your butt handed to you.

This game FORCES you to 'get gud', but does so in a fairly natural way, and all of a sudden you look back at your first few playthroughs and realize how much better you are at the game.

A+++++++++++

This game is absolutely amazing on all counts. The art style is beautiful and works perfectly with the world it creates, the music is haunting and suspenseful, and the gameplay is responsive and snappy and will test your skills. I've not found myself losing track of time while playing a game like this in a very long time.

This game is also very challenging. You will die, a lot. But, you'll never die because of anything that is unfair to the player. Every single time you die, it is because of your own mistakes and offers a learning experience to you for your next run. Every time you reach a new level, it feels like a massive accomplishment. And as you get better at mastering the game's mechanics, the game rewards you for your progression, by giving you bonuses for skillful play between each level.

If you're a fan of roguelikes, this is a must-have game.

GREAT Game

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this one year ago when I first got my Switch for Christmas. This game was still a bit "under the radar" and hadn't had the two major content updates it has received since. I immediately found it addictive and compelling. I paid $20 and thought that was fair enough, and whenever I see the game price since in the Eshop or in stores, it seems like it's retailing for closer to $30 now. I think it really is a wonderfully fun and gripping adventure.

I originally bought this in early access on Steam, was addicted for a few weeks, and now I've bought it a second time on the Switch. It's gotten even better since I first started playing it!

A masterpiece

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2019

One of the best games I have played in the past few years. I love rogue-like/lite games and this is no exception.

Picked it up for under $30 gladly would have paid more knowing how much fun I'd have playing it. (And how many hours I will end up playing of it.)

Edit: this game just keeps getting better. After the 1.1 update it's frame rate became more stable, and it didn't even bug me before.

A hack and slash platformer that delivers old school challenge

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this game based on a review on youtube and thought it looked beautiful and the gameplay looked reminiscent of my favorite handheld castlevania games so I gave it a chance. I LOVE IT! The first couple hours took some getting used to, seeing as I wasn't used to perma-death roguelike gameplay. But once I understood that death is part of the challenge, and the leveling up over time makes each run easier, I found a lot of fun to be had in the difficulty and "grinding". The random level generation makes these first couple hours fresh and fun, and I've been playing this game nonstop for a couple weeks now. If Castlevania is your bag, I'd definitely suggest this game!

Well designed, addictive and difficult.

Reviewed in Canada on August 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a 5 star game, I would rate it a full five stars without a second thought if it weren't for one glaring problem with the Switch version (which to be fair, the developers have gone on record that they are working to improve). That is the frame rate, the game, in an awful lot of situations... just runs poorly on the Switch, with the framerate very noticeably dipping down quite a bit all over the place. I've never felt like I've actually died because of any performance issues, but it is very visibly jarring and given other games that the Switch hardware has pulled off without issues there doesn't seem to be any huge reason why the Switch itself is incapable of running a game like Dead Cells without frame drops. Once this is fixed, it's a five star game... though I would have preferred they delayed release a bit and given me a physical copy of the game that didn't have such a big problem baked into it.

While I feel the asking price for this game is a little steep in relation to the actual amount of content within it, it is so well designed and such a joy to pick up and play in short bursts it's a nearly perfect Switch game. I'm not sure how much I would play it on any other platform, but I love being able to pick up the switch and play something like Dead Cells for 10 minutes and put it down again.

How it works, for those not familiar with the terms rogue-like, rogue-like, metroidvania and other things referenced in the usual description of how this game operates is that certain things you accomplish in one game carry over to your next game after death. The difficulty gets rather brutal, quickly, but the fact that each death tends to get you a little bit closer to being a little better equipped for the next run makes each time your game ends less of an exercise in controller/system throwing frustration and one that you take solace in the fact that you made some progress regardless.

As you progress through the dungeons which are laid out randomly for each of your games, you encounter various roadblocks which prevent you from accessing certain areas and progressing in certain ways during that run of the game unless you've done something in previous games (usually get far enough along to have defeated a major boss, for example) to unlock a new ability.

This cycle of play, improve, die and repeat is kept fresh by the changing layouts, equipment drop combinations, upgrades and the slow addition of additional content to dungeons you've played many times before that everything stays fresh feeling much longer than it has any right to.

I am NOT a big fan of the whole retro 8/16-bit pixel art look of most games, I'm in generally, just really done with it. This game is yet another that has gone in that direction HOWEVER while in a lot of cases the decision seems to have been made just to save on effort or straight up because the developers just did not have artists capable of doing much else the art direction in Dead Cells does not "feel" retro in any way other than by lip service. The animations are really smooth, well done and fluid. There are loads of particle and lighting effects and other various environmental things going on that make the game feel very modern despite the overarching art style. I actually really enjoy it.

Bottom line is, if you have a Switch and aren't opposed to a challenge in your games, buy this!

Es un juego tipo metroidvania con gráficos tipo pixeles un gran control y un avance progresivo en el juego muy original donde morir te llevará al inicio pero irás desbloqueado habilidades para avanzar mucho más, vale la pena decir que es idéntica a la versión de Xbox One y la de PS4, un juego de plataforma que debes tener en el Nintendo Switch

Good game but not as good as Castlevania

Reviewed in Canada on November 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

Good game but not as good as Castlevania. 1. the music of this game is very boring, if you have played Castlevania you know how good the music of a video game can be. 2. this game has no story, just fighting. 3. if you die, you loose almost all your items permanently. Another game called Mystery Dungeon has a very similar system, however in that game you can find some ways to get some of your lost items back. 4. no backpack system at all. Not like other games, you cannot keep any weapons for later. To get a new weapon, you have to reject the old ones.

Fantastic indie game

Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

There is a reason why some review sites awarded this their game of the year. Other than zelda botw, I have more hours on this game than any of the other numerous games on my switch. I just keep going back and learning how to play better and finding new secrets. And the developers keep adding new content, though sometimes it takes awhile. I do wish they would make a better system for getting the remaining patterns though you might be missing--not a big fan of the hunter grenade system. But a small point compared to the rest of the awesomeness that is this game.

Get this game! Now! If you like Super Metroid or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night or Dark Souls, you will like this. Add to that a huge variety of weapons and combinations. A ever changing experience because everything is randomly generated. Super responsive and tight controls. And really cool pixel art style to boot.
