  • I Love DeadCells Please Add Controller Support for “Backbone”!

    I love playing DeadCells, it’s one of my favorite go to time killer games. The amount of weapons and customizations, the different ways to get through a new maze of a familiar stage, the art style and dialogue are all top notch IMHO. I’ve put the game on multiple systems just so I can always get a run through no matter the console. I recently discovered it was on iPhone and immediately downloaded it, looking forward to spending hours on end picking up weapons, spending gold, using different mutation sets and of course collecting Dead Cells!! I was disappointed to out find that I can’t run this amazing game with my Backbone controller through the IOS app despite the fact it works when playing DeadCells through Gamepass and Remote Play. This game is great, and a MUST play…there’s just one thing missing….Please add controller support for the IOS app.

  • Love the game, but…

    I love Dead Cells! It’s one of my favorites. I play on my iPad 4th gen, and its a blast. However, I’m having some issues. Hence the 3 star rating. I’ve played for a while now, collected all runes, beat the Queen, and explored several biomes. I even purchased all additional expansions! Sadly, when I reach the doors to the Undying Shores, my iPad freezes, with a message that reads memory full and forces me to close. It’s definitely not a storage issue, because I’m only using 26 GB of my 256 GB of memory. I even restarted my iPad to clear the RAM and made sure no other apps are running in the background, but the error still persists. If there’s a “minimum RAM” requirement for the game that’s larger than some devices can accommodate, it should be clearly stated in the app/game description, especially since I’ve already purchased every additional expansion. I find it odd, that I’ve played so long, unlocked so many items, mutations, etc, and am only just encountering this. Anyways, I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks in advance.

  • Best offline rpg on the App Store

    First off - zero pay to win, there’s paid content DLC’s for this game that are entirely optional, the base game will last you a long time regardless. I have 100+ hours on pc with Dead Cells but being able to play on the go or just on the couch or even in the bathroom is so good. If you enjoy roguelikes, castle/metroid vania games, grab this one for sure. I like to get at least 1 hour of play time per dollar I spend with a game so I technically owe Dead Cells like 50 bucks - and that’s after buying it on pc and my iPhone.

  • Really fun game but stopped working with my controller

    The game is 10/10 and I’d definitely recommend, especially if you have a backbone controller. Although since the last update the controller has stopped working, so as soon as that’s back up and running it’s worth downloading.

  • Content?

    This game keeps on giving, and I’m not talking about how it has more content after you beat the game, but it does that exceptionally well too. I keep coming back to this game, switching from Xbox to laptop to the app on my phone now because they keep releasing new content that completely changes to feel of the game (in the best way possible). The foundation for this game is so solid I’m sure an entire world could be built with this gameplay, not just an island this game’s setting is using, which is why I’m sad to hear the DLC in 2022 is the last they plan on doing. I’m sure their next project will be amazing as well, but I want Deadcells to keep living and growing. It knows exactly what it is, and it has mastered itself in the way most games can barely dream of, let alone come close to. I love this game, for its art style, the music, the gameplay, the story, the ingenuity, and most of all, raw uniqueness, especially because it’s a direct inspiration from all the beloved games that have come before and after. I’m in love with the gameplay provided by the last DLC and more so by the crossover content. The newest weapons are an absolute joy, and I never thought my favorite weapon in a game would be a bone, but like I said before, Deadcells does it right.

  • Great game BUT

    I love this game I have always watched dead cells and wanted to play is so when I saw it I knew I had to get it but I do have a lot of frame rate issues sometimes the game with get like 10-15 frames per second although this is rare sometimes this has ended my run or ended in a close call but other than that it’s a genuinely fun game and I would recommend

  • no music :(

    I have but one gripe with this game, and it has nothing to do with the game itself, but rather the fact that it pauses any gosh dang music or podcast I want to play.

    To be clear the game is amazing. It’s one of my favorite indie titles, but I have tried everything and no matter what I do, every time I open dead cells it pauses whatever I’m trying to play and even replaying it from the controller center doesn’t work. Don’t get me wrong the soundtrack has some banger tunes, but sometimes you just want to jam to some of your own music while grinding some dead cells and I can’t do that without having to use a second device.

    I know this is a small thing, but it is down right devastating every time I remember I can’t play dead cells while listening to “Mr. Blue Sky,” and I sincerely hope that this will become a thing of the past in the near future.

  • Great game !

    I have been playing the game for a few months now and overall just a great game to pass the time and collect things, but I have noticed recently that the texture of the fire and portals and some objects have been extremely pixelated? Idk if this is because of the recent updates or the game isn’t loading in properly.

    But my genuine review on the game is that I believe it’s a great game to pass time and to experience the fun as you find your own way through to play and collect new things in each level. Trying to pass each level has its own challenges and skills And the creativity, the graphics (before the game began to pixelate), the amazing backgrounds and textures and overall the journey and little details in each level are amazing.

    The main reason why I wrote this review was to address the issue of the pixelation but I Might aswell give my respect to the game for giving me soo much fun and a new game to enjoy while going through college so thank you :3

  • Apple TV version so old, saves don’t work

    Seriously?! I bought this to be able to play on Apple TV and it says the saves are incompatible in game because it hasn’t been updated in over a year!

    Super disappointed.
