Leave a Review Dead Cells
A blend of Metroid and Dark Souls
This is the game you’re looking for. Eventhough its just came out on mobile and a few dlc’s behind the console/pc versions. Its still a must have. I was writing almost a novel review of the game but then I accidentally closed out the app so I’ll just keep it shorter as possible and straight to the point. The art of the game is fantastic, especially with a retro style. Its great. For first timers, don't get frustrated. Keep calm, die, learn and adapt. It’ll get better...for a start. There’s tons of weapons, skills and abilities to unlock. How you combine them is what will make you progress. Aside from the awespiring elements of the game, it’ll leave you questions of why you’re in this cycle of deaths. Although the game just came out, so I’m patiently waiting so I can get the Hand of the King skin. Other than that, it’s a worthy buy not just for the mobile but also for your favorite console as well. Goodluck! Cheers to the developers! I patiently wait for the update.Show lessAndrew Koyl
On the Phone Now!?
I about crem-de-la-pooched my pants seeing this full port for phones! This game......this *%#%>! Beautiful game!!! The flow of movement and combat should from now on be the template for any other action game. This is a game you will play, die, “Hmmm so that was cool but weird.....whoa wait what’s this new thing...” and repeat so many times. Almost every time you play you will open a new area or unlock an ability that connects you to the next tier of levels. The gameplay flow is so addicting. Easily one of those games where you say “ok I’m going to bed after this level......after this level......ok after I die......ok after this first level again just to get a little jump on next time I play....etc....until the next thing you know it’s been 5 hours and you’re still saying “one more level”. I love this game!Show lessWhaderder
Motion Twin are a bunch of liars and cash grabbers.
You claimed in the description I was getting the *full* Dead Cells experience. So naturally, since I saw how much my friends on PC were enjoying it and you specifically said it was the full version, I’d probably buy it. After all, being able to customize my experience and keep weapons I didn’t like out of runs I didn’t want them in seemed like a wonderful idea, and something I wished all roguelikes with unlockable weapons had, because goddamn do I hate some weapons, and didn’t want to be punished for unlocking the wrong things. I mean look at r/Archero, their entire subreddit is about how much they hate unlockables.
But lo and behold! I pay for the full Dead Cells experience, and what do I get? Well I know it sure as hell ain’t the full Dead Cells experience! Didn’t have the feature I specifically bothered getting it for, hasn’t been kept up to date with the PC version at all.
So I go check out what Motion Twin’s been doing on YouTube, and lo and behold, their most recent video is about a DLC. A total cash grab. They’re just the type to keep releasing paid content instead of updates.Show lessNomadic Inferno
Unique and refreshing game.
This game doesn’t feel like a bunch of recycled parts that end up being like 10 other games. The play style is great having to choose between tactics, brutality, or survival. The first time I had to start the game over I thought it would be frustrating but it makes you want to play again and again since each time you come back to life is a different experience. The game is rewarding and even if you get 45 minutes in and have to start over, the loot system makes it possible to start over with better weapons in the beginning to make you feel like all your hard work wasn’t for nothing.
Love this game!Show lessbones<3
Best game ever
Maybe I’m biased, but this game is amazing, I played it on my consoles, but when I found out that this game was on mobile, I got so excited. If you played this game on the console, the mobile version can be a little eh, especially if you aren’t used to playing with a touch screen (yet its still fun to play, still worth the money) BUUUUUUUUUUT if you are upgraded to ios 13, just connect your controller to your device. Easy and simple. If you have an ipad, it’s even better. SO MUCH BETTER. Especially on the 12in. This game is 10/10, never boring, and challenging. Also if your devices are connected to the same account, you can shift your progress on your devices. For example, I’ll play a little on my phone, and if I want to go on my ipad, it saves where I quit. (This game saves your progress, but if you die, you start completely over, but if you quit during a game, it saves where you left over. Just to make things clear)
For new people to this game, this game is DEFINITELY worth the money, you got to have a little patience. AND It’s a one down payment. You don’t have to pay anything extra in the game. This game isn’t something you’ll blow through in a day, it’s an actual good lengthy game.
I rage quit a bit in games, but I can actually enjoy this one, this has progression. If I could, I could play this game for hours. This my addiction.
I hope you can give this game a chance, it’s an amazing game, and the artwork is beautiful. This game deserves more love.Show lessMonstar9623
Lovely game
This game is a great mixture of a metroidvania style game and rogue. Great combat, graphics and sound. There's an odd story happening underneath the game too. The world resets after each death. You do power up your abilities and weapons between sessions and I suspect you'll be able to take shortcuts as you power up more.
The thing that prevents me from giving this a 5 star review is the controls. It's not that they're bad for an iPhone game but the precision of the game makes me wish for a controller. I find the game easier to control on an iPhone than an iPad as the screen area my fingers have to cover is smaller. I think I'll end up buying this game on Steam so I can use my old XBox 360 controller with it. Apparently if you have a wireless XBox One controller you can hook it up to your phone and play that way but I haven't tried this.Show lessGilesRoberts
Game is great
The only problem I have is one that I knew buy it, that mobile interface makes the game difficult to play.
I knew that I could get around this issue if I pair my ps4 controller to my phone. The game is really enjoyable with a controller.
Another plus is that it does not need internet connection to play like some other games. Another great plus is that it is not as intensive as other games marking my phone overheat and causing my phone to dim to save itself.Show lessJrJnrJunior
Honest Review
Dead cells is a great game on iOS but AU$14 is a decent amount for a game on your iPhone, iPad, Laptop etc. but even though considering that price I would highly recommend getting it. I was sceptical about getting it at first but I was glad I did buy it. I wouldn’t recommend it if you aren’t play with a controller I played it with my PS4 controller at first and it was great but then I tried it without one and it was rather challenging. But Dead Souls is a great game and I haven’t had any issues with it since I bought it.Show lessKung Food Panda
Amazing!
It’s a great game, and I was ecstatic when they ported it to mobile. This might not make much sense considering it’s $40 on pc, but this game would be better if it was under $10 instead of $14. Regardless, the gameplay is amazing after you get used to the dodge button. Would highly recommend if you’ve got the money!Show lessMentalAx
My new favorite mobile game!
Dead Cells is the mobile game I’ve been waiting years for. Gameplay has always been fast paced and engaging with a good degree of challenge. The combat design and vibrant art style pair beautifully and lend themselves perfectly to the comically macabre world of Dead Cells. Weapon and skill variety provide countless ways to engage a myriad of enemy types. Shifting area layouts and tons of-upgrade unlocks make every round feel like time well spent. I’ve loved this game since the first hour but since the addition of external controller support playing Dead Cells on a DualShock 4 has elevated my enjoyment to new levels. Even if you don’t have the luxury of a proper controller this game is a must have for any RogueVania fan and all those longing for a truly well crafted 2D action platformer. Absolutely worth the buy. I cannot recommend Dead Cells enoughShow lessNin_mk2
