Leave a Review Dead Cells
BEST GAME for the phone!!
I was worried about buying this because people complained about the controls and I have a relatively small phone. However, once you okay for a while you get used to the controls so it really isn’t an issue especially because you can customize the control locations and how big the buttons are.
My only issue is that every so often the audio will bug out and loop or simply not play. It doesn’t happen every run just here and there and I’m sure it’ll be fixed soon but for now it’s a little annoying considering how amazing the soundtrack is for the game and the sound design for the powers and attacks are perfect.
This is one of the few pay to play games I will ever get. I highly recommend it. Best game I’ve ever played on mobileShow lessSpaghetti24
Not a fan of Roguelikes
I was enjoying Dead Cells, but then I hit the “Roguelike” wall of having to play the same level over and over. If I bought this on my PS4, I probably would have given up on it. But since it was on my phone, I gave it another shot on my commute. Eventually, the Metroidvania elements kicked in - unlocking different weapons and finding different areas - and the game became more interesting. Even the aspect of not being able to choose your initial weapon keeps the game interesting. So often, I’m like “Ugh, I didn’t get what I wanted” only to find that the weapon I got has some pretty cool features. Another evil feature is the cursed treasure boxes. I avoided them at first. Why would I risk an insta-kill and have to start over just to get some random weapons/money? But now it’s all about the odds - do the weapons I have give me a better chance of not being hit before I can kill ten enemies? So even though I’m not the strongest gamer, I’m having fun doing the same thing over and over.Show lessassault_is_eternal
Bug Report
Dead Cells is one of my favourite games of all time, and the whole game has this aesthetic that actually makes me feel like a dead prisoner who is being possessed by a certain green slime.
HOWEVER, there is one bug on iOS that renders some parts of the map completely inaccessible by any means.
This bug is the double jump bug, and has been annoying me ever since I started playing this game on iOS. This bug makes your character use the double jump feature a just a few frames after you jump, and as far as I know, there is no way you can avoid this.
If a developer is reading this, then I would like to sincerely ask you to please fix this bug.
Sincerely,

Great fun, worth the buy
I originally bought this on PC and have played many hours thoroughly enjoying the experience. When I saw the mobile iteration I didn’t hesitate to pick it up. The control scheme takes a little practice, but you do have some options to customize your button setup and some other options like proximity attack and swipe to dodge which makes playing on mobile a bit more manageable. One of the key draws of the game is its fluid gameplay and combinational approach to your weapons/equipment/perks to get through each of the levels. The more you play the more weapons/items/perks you unlock creating new approaches to each of the games challenges. The game runs smoothly on my iPhone XR, and I have yet to experience any issues with crashes or bugs. With dead cells, what you see is what you get and if you’re considering picking it up it is worth every cent they are asking for it.Show lessone21st
Amazing
I haven’t had so much fun on a mobile game in a long time definitely worth the price of admissionNateW91
Super magic fun
Fantastic game. Playing with a controller is the best - it’s like having a switch. Hard af and easy to replay.EspioNZ
What a game. Easily one of the top best games in App Store.
Well done to the devs in porting a good console port to mobile platforms successfully. Usually when this happens the controls for the port suffer, but not Deadcells. Very addicting experience without any in app purchases nonsense. Beautiful art, sound and game design at display. I don’t think it can get better than this, gaming on mobile. You should buy it if you haven’t already. It’s a bargain compared to console prices as well. And you can use a console controller to play it as well.Show lessHdsenevi
Awesome Game
I really enjoy dead cells and find it really fun and addicting. Although I sometimes get angry when I die and lose all my progress it really isn’t that bad. In response to all the people getting angry and giving bad reviews because you restart every time you die. I mean did you even read the app’s description? I would think you would actually spend some time researching a game before just getting it and being mad because you didn’t do any research on the game before hand. You’re supposed to die and restart that’s how the game works. Although I do admit when you’re finally at the hand of the king with 1 boss cell and realize that there isn’t any healing station and you’ve spent all your potions in the last area it does get quite frustrating when you die and have to start over again. But the game’s about skill if you’re good at the game you can get through the areas easily and get to the point where you died with better loot and items. Overall I really enjoyed Dead Cells.Show lessRoundFatDoge
Awesome game to pick up and play until you die
I have this game on Xbox through “game pass”, I bought the game on the Switch to play while on the go, and now on iOS to play when having the switch out is impossible (work) LoL. The game plays the same on all devices. The game play is very fluid, don’t be discouraged if you die (is in the name of the game). As you play the boards change up a little and the enemies get harder and harder. But you unlock more items to make it a little easier. If you want the same game that’s available everywhere else but for $8 here it’s a no brainer. Oh and controllers work with this game. Which is a huge plus for me cause I hate touch screen games.Show less6.08
Best Game on Mobile - Hands Down!!
The first time I heard about this game getting ported to iOS I was in disbelief - it is hands down one of my favorite games on console/pc and now my THE FAVORITE game on mobile/iPad. Worth every penny of the asking price. Playdigious have done a phenomenal job bringing this over to mobile where I can’t tell the difference between playing it on console/pc vs my phone/iPad.
The only (very minor) critique I have is that touch controls can be a bit finicky at times but that is easily addressed by the inclusion of controller support. The auto hit control scheme is quite serviceable too for times when I’m on the go and can’t use a controller.
I’ve already sunk hours into this game on my phone/iPad and I can’t recommend it enough - if you like playing games on your phone/tablet, do yourselves a favor and download this one.Show lessKillaroach
