Review: Dead Cells is a (near) perfect blend of genresA tough as nails rogue-like that's exciting, addictive, and fun to play.
The Nintendo Switch continues to dominate the console charts, and it's easy to see why. It's become the most popular system of this generation thanks to a combination of first-party games, ports of older titles, and excellent indies. In recent years, the latter has become so saturated that it's sometimes challenging to find the truly great indie games. Every once in an awhile, however, a title bubbles to the surface that's a cut above its peers.
When I initially came across Dead Cells, I passed it over as another "flavor of the month" title. On its surface, Dead Cells channels almost every popular indie genre. Dead Cells is a rouge-lite, Metroidvania game with procedurally generated levels and Dark Souls-like combat coupled with punishing difficulty. But after spending time with the game, I found something greater than the sum of its parts. Dead Cells is something special and is well worth your time.
A cut...
