    I don’t have to say it because it’s been said before
    This critically acclaimed game has gone and got me addicted, and I ain’t even mad! The graphics are incredible and lends a sense of mystery and intrigue that drives this platformer! It’s amazing narrative is uncovered in tidbits, so that to really PLAY the game will take you ages: it will keep you occupied for days on end. The sound design really helps to build this grim fantasy world and it is well worth whatever you pay

  • iPhone 8!!

    😮 😯 😲 omg!! this game is superb in every way. Haven’t played on console or steam but, having it on iOS is a real treat to have with the same precise experience as on PC and consoles. First by saying the controls are buttery smooth, buttery responsive without any delays on touch responses. The graphics of course is phenomenal, expressing how beautiful the pixel art is amazing...and the progression of the non linear dungeons are top notch!!! I recommend to buy this!!!! Hmmm, even tho hyper light drifter has more downloads and ratings....from my experience, dead cells should get more downloads and ratings 🤔😁!!! Just because it is more fluid, fast paced, better action of hack and slash, and even better graphics!!! Honestly a 5 star game!!!👍🏾

  • I can’t believe these controls work

    I mainly play Dead Cells on PS4, and, as it’s one of my favorite games of all time, I was curious to see how the iOS version held up.

    I just beat the first difficulty level and I’m blown away by what are easily the best touch controls I’ve ever experienced. They’re still a bit twitchy at times due to the speed of the game and the nature of touch controls in general, but they get the job done incredibly well and blow away the efforts of all of their peers. The fact that such a fast and precise pc/console game is playable on my phone at all, and a joy to play at that, is a miracle.

    This is 100% Dead Cells, not a watered down “Dead Cells Mobile” like you might expect from lesser devs. Buy with confidence, buy on every platform. Long live the King.

  • Brilliant and criminally hard game!

    You can play this game for ages, it’s way better if you have a PS4/Xbox controller you can use instead of the touchscreen.
    But nevertheless this game is amazing, don’t let the price fool you, well worth it.
    I’ve seen other reviews where people are saying there should be a custom mode where you can pick your gear you’ve unlocked, that’d be awesome, hope the developers add this!

  • Great game

    If you’ve got any love for these sorts of games , this is probably one of the best on the market , combat works well , touch screen controls do the job nicely, ( controller support is real winner here tho ). It keeps you coming back for more and can be played in short seasons which works well on the go. The art style is great and really adds to the feeling of the world. Great job 👏👏👏👏👏

  • Apple TV Gamer..

    It’s pretty awesome but if you could make it a little more smoother/clear/HD on the "Apple TV 4K" that be awesome too.

    But other than that its worth the price tag 👍
  • Nice

    I’ve had an iPad since iPad 3 and have never played such a good game on this platform. Highly recommended!
  • Needs better control options

    Needs options for a fixed directional pad you can resize, resizing buttons in general is needed since the attack buttons are tiny, also getting the dlc the console and pc versions have is also needed

    Its just much much harder to play on a mobile device because of the wonky controls, other apps have much more customizable controls that help deal with having to to do complicated combat on a touch screen

  • Amazing game with flawed controls

    Have over 200 hours on the Steam version and I LOVE this game, easily game of the decade for me. I don’t usually enjoy a rouge likes but as this one does have a consistent sense of progression through deaths it feels less disappointing to die as you know you achieved something every run you do, while there are only a few levels the game is aimed at repeating content while improving your skills and finding different ways to play with a large variety of weapons and traps to make for an enjoyable experience.

    The touch controls aren’t great but with auto attack they get the job done on the lower difficulties, it is hard to click some of your abilities on a smaller iPhone 11 so I don’t want to imagine how it would be on the iPhone 11 Pro (non-max) or smaller devices. I would highly recommend a gamepad for any of the higher difficulties. There’s no real way I can think of for the developers to improve the controls, it’s more so that the game was never built with touch in mind but they’ve tried to make it work at the very least.

    For whatever reason the game is locked at 30 FOS by default which made me refund the first time I purchased, but after someone let me know I could uncap the framerate I purchased it again and it’s a much more enjoyable experience.

  • Should have picked this up sooner

    I’m an avid PC gamer, and this has been on my Steam wishlist since its release. I was always waiting for a sale on it and it just was never the right time for me. I managed to afford an iPad and it blew my mind that it was available on the platform. I figured “Hey, I’ve wanted this for so long, time to scoop it. It can’t be that bad.”

    I’m using a wireless Xbox One controller to play this and, dude, this stuff is dope! The pace and mechanics all lend themselves to get the most out of your play styles. A rock solid gameplay loop keeps me rolling after death. Getting those lucky drops or rare finds feel real good. And the world building through strange encounters and interactions keeps progress interesting outside of progress’ sake.

    I should have bought this game sooner on Steam; and I probably will rebuy it there just to keep it all kosher. Though, this version plays well and is great. Legitimately, the best argument for “mobile gaming” I’ve come across.
