Death is not the end. Play as a failed alchemic experiment and explore the sprawling, ever-changing castle to find out what happened on this gloomy island…! That is, assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers. Dead Cells is a roguevania action platformer that will require you to master frantic 2D combat with a wide variety of weapons and skills against merciless minions and boss. Kill. Die. Learn. Repeat. First available on PC and consoles, the indie hit Dead Cells is now slaying foes on mobile! Main Features • Roguevania: The progressive exploration of an interconnected world, with the replayability of a rogue-lite and the adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath • Frantic and Dynamic 2D Action: Learn your enemies’ patterns to stay alive, or prepare to be sent back to your cell before you can say “baguette” • Nonlinear Progression: Unlock new levels with every death, opt for the path that suits your current build, your playstyle or just your mood. Surely, the ramparts can’t be as bad as the sewers, right? • Play at your own pace: Will you explore every nook and cranny of the castle, or rush to the end? *Latest updates are available: Clean Cut & The End is Near* RETURN TO CASTLEVANIA DLC Time for some vampire slaying • New storyline - overcome the Ruler of Darkness alongside Alucard and Richter Belmont, • 2 new biomes - Explore Dracula's Castle and its outskirts • 9 new monsters - Werewolves, haunted armors, and medusas are waiting for you • 14 new weapons - wield the Vampire Killer or the Holy Water to defeat creatures of the night, • 3 new bosses - go fangs to fangs against Death and Dracula himself • 20 new outfits - dress as your favorite Castlevania characters such as Simon and Richter Belmont or Alucard • Alternative soundtracks - play along 51 Castlevania original tracks and 12 tunes reimagined in the style of Dead Cells THE BAD SEED DLC You reap what you sow • New levels to lose your head in the not-so-peaceful Dilapidated Arboretum and the noxious Morass of the Banished • New monsters to rip to pieces: get to know the locals, such as the Jerkshroom and the Yeeter • New weapons to play with: trim sticking-out heads with the Scythe Claw, or make them dance to the sound of the Rhythm n' Bouzouki • New boss to fight against: Mama Tick is dying to meet you FATAL FALLS DLC Ready for a leap of faith? • 3 new biomes - Get some fresh air at the Fractured Shrines, splash around at the Undying Shores and take a picture at the Mausoleum • 8 new monsters - The Cold Blooded Guardians and their friends would love to teach you about their culture. ... Wait, aren't those relatives of yours in the Undying Shores...? • 7 new weapons - Lil' Serenade is perfect for breaking the ice with the locals, although the Snake Fangs would make for a perfect souvenir... • 1 new boss - The Scarecrow is very proud of his gardening skills and won't hesitate to show off QUEEN AND THE SEA DLC Take it to the sea! • 2 new biomes - Battle your way through a rotten shipwreck, or scale a burning lighthouse and confront your deadliest foe yet. • 9 new weapons, including a throwable shark, a trident and a pirate hook hand (eyepatch not included). • 2 new bosses - Don't lose your head before you meet the Queen!

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

It’s Dead Cells! With slight issues

I love Dead Cells having the game on the PS4 and Xbox so to have it on my iPhone is amazing. The game itself is identical to the console and PC big cousins and that should be a glowing recommendation enough.However, it loses a star for me thanks to the controls which feel slightly awkward, and fractionally laggy (as most on screen analog sticks do) it lacks the accuracy of the console controls and to often I find myself wanting to slam downwards on an an enemy from above only to slide slightly left or right instead. The same also applies for climbing vines, ropes or chains. It feels like the game demands accuracy that the control system can’t quite hit.The other thing that loses the game it’s vital 5th star is the lack of custom game. This isn’t as big a deal as the floaty controls which have ensured that as a seasoned player of the game I’ve been frustrated trying to get off the initial 0BC levels, but it is another oversight that is a minor irritant.Overall as a game Dead Cells is fantastic if you like Rogue Like platformers and I would say that apart from the controls any review for the game online on any platform is applicable to this version too. Superb game with a great port but marred by slightly off control system but great for scratching that itch if you have no other access to the game while on the move.

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.
