  • Sensational on all platforms

    It takes time to get good, are you willing to persist? All I will share is that it is worth it. The story does not reveal itself, you must strive to find it. What caused/ is causing the Malasie? Who is Grimoire? Why is the island constantly changing? Where is this awesome music coming from? Why haven’t you downloaded this yet and finally...

    Where is the King?

  • How do I buy the skeleton dlc. And another thing

    I’ve been playing this game for a month or two now on my iPad my dad owns it on his ps4 and I noticed that the skeleton was gone for him and mine wasn’t the I figured out it was a dlc but I can’t find out how to get it from the apple store if anyone can answer my question I would be very grateful.

    I had originally pre-ordered this game during the summer time.I had waited for a few months the they changed the release date.I waited a while longer then the day came by and I didn’t get it.I had spent 7 or so dollars so I was a little angry but I had no way of contacting them to say anything about so I just moved on and now I bought it again.I know I probably won’t get any compensation for it but I just wanted them to know.

  • Dead Cells, A Real Videogame.

    This is a perfect uncompromised port of an incredible game for mobile with an ACTUALLY GREAT control scheme for touchscreen play and full support for a Xbox or PS4 controller through bluetooth. The game supports offline play and airplane mode so you can play no matter where you are.

    Dead Cells is a single player game for those who like a challenge or just enjoy an old school arcade-like experience that you can revisit endlessly. It is a rouge-like 2D game with a heavy emphasis on Exploration, Combat, and Platforming.

    For the uninitiated this is a true videogame in every sense. You actually have full control of your character, you choose what direction to move and when to attack, jump, dodge, and heal. As you progress you'll pick up and exchange a variety of weapons and items. And should you dig deeper into the game you'll find it is filled with secrets and story to uncover, and I kid you not there is a ton to explore and experience thanks to the Procedurally Generated aspects such as level layouts, item placement, and enemy spawns (each of these elements can change each time you die or start a level).

    I give Dead Cells five stars because it delivers in all departments from gameplay, design, artstyle, to soundtrack. Needless to say, If you're looking for a true videogame experience on mobile with NO ads and NO micro-transactions, look no further than Dead Cells.

  • Brilliant game

    This game is great for me even tho it took me a while for me to get used to the controls I got it quickly it’s a really fun and challenging.
    Since I got the game on Xbox the only issue I have for this mobile game is custom mode as the game punishes players for experimenting with new items and I think it’s vital for new players to study and create their class but other all the game is great. I think one more the corrupted prison should be in this as well as the giant and the mini bosses before you encounter the boss, this game is amazing and its addicting to play.

  • Beautiful, just beautiful

    At first I was skeptical, as I thought the game was originally intended for PC, so I thought it was off bounds for me, or that it would be a cheap rework with in app payments. But yet, I find it sitting there in the recommendation section, and I just had to try it.
    For those wondering, it’s a one time payment. You pay once for the game, and you get the game. Plain and simple, the way games should be sold. I just want the developer to know, if you put in an optional donation function, I don’t doubt people will thank you and your team for your flexibility!
    Random generation for new life’s is incredible, I truly feel as if I’m trapped in repeat, but yet it never gets old. First time was expectingly clumsy. I stumbled along, and got killed by spikes. I got re... globulated? And I found a fire Molotov like throwable. I was doing pretty well! Then I found an amulet that made it so when you did your down smashing attack the ground you landed on gets engulfed in flames. I was cruising along, but then my lack of skill is what got me killed. I’ve found that restarting with the default weapons, I’ve improved. I’m taking less and less damage each run, and it feels really good to know that’s me, and not some boost.

  • Dead Cells is an incredible game. However...

    Normally, I would rate this very highly, however, the game is currently lacking 1 vital feature. Custom mode. On other versions of dead cells this allows you to select what kinds of items and other things you want to get, which means you can unlock all the items without fear.

    Now, this isn't too important for the first 3 difficulty modes, but on the highest one? Without custom mode you are punished for experimenting and unlocking new items, and that is crippling late game. This is a shame as unlocking and trying out all of the weapons is one of the best parts of the game.

    Please fix this, the game is wonderful otherwise.

  • Absolutely outstanding!

    Just get this game! If this genre interests you at all, this is an absolute must have! The game having controller support makes it everything you’d want from a platformer. It’s rougelike, which I normally am not a huge fan of, however, with the perm upgrades and blueprints available, it really takes away from the sting of total loss and gives you a definite sense of progression.

    The weapons are fun and creative, sort of reminds me of terraria with all of the different, crazy and, entertaining archetypes. You can push for speed runs to upgrade your equipment or slow it down and farm areas out to try and get more blueprints/gold/etc. Pick your play style and go for it.

    (Seriously tho, this game has me toting my xbox controller around so I can play it during my downtime while I’m on the road, freaking buy it)

  • BEST metrovania, game of its time, and it’s mobile 👀

    This is the PERFECT vania game, greater then blasphemous, and even more fluent then castlevania. The exploring of the world reminds me so much of that feeling that Metroid gave me, and the set up is just smart when it comes to skill tree and items and how the game works! I’m been craving a game like this for a few months now, almost purchased bloodstain because I wanted a castlevania like game. But I got blasphemous, and enjoyed it, though it’s slow pacing to the skills and how punishing the game is, made me lose interest into going deeper however this ? MOBILE GAME? Is addicting when it comes to lure and wanting more from it! I HOPE THERE IS A PART 2 with A BIGGER WORLD TO GAIN ALL THAT THIS GAME IS....giving me! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾very refreshing game, I say it’s game of the year for mobile gaming.

  • Best Metroidvania on iOS!

    This is as good as it gets! Combat is fluid, art design is fantastic, and dialog is witty. A bargain compared to the prices available on major consoles (I.e. Nintendo Switch) as well. It’s refreshing to play a solid game that doesn’t include microtransactions. There is also now an option to play at 60fps, even on older devices such as an iPhone 7. Looking forward to seeing more from this developer!

  • Great. Better on PS4.

    Love this game. It has its sense of progression despite how easily you can die, and getting a killer combo of weapons and support feels so satisfying when used correctly.
    With that said, what kills this port for me are its controls. The D-pad isn’t static and loves to register downward movements, making jumping onto vines/chains/etc. a hassle at times. Quick movements, especially for some bosses, are much more difficult since dragging your finger on the screen isn’t as smooth as with a controller.
    Also, there seems to be a glitch with the audio. It’ll commonly register the first 1-2 seconds of the sound of the metal platform moving, and loop it on repeat. It’s so loud that it superimposes the background music. Only way to get rid of it is to manually quit the game from the title screen. Even if you progress to the next level, it’ll still loop.
