About Dead Cells
Dead Cells is a 2D action-platformer that combines roguelite structure with a connected, branching world and unlockable abilities. You control a failed alchemic experiment exploring a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly cursed island, fighting its keepers to discover what is happening there.
The experiment
The experiment is immortal but crippled, so it takes over bodies to move, explore and fight. Its hosts are not immortal: when a body is destroyed, you return to the dungeon to find another and begin again.
Explore and progress
The island has branching paths and new levels to unlock. Runs have no checkpoints: you must defeat the final boss in one go or try again. Some progress carries over between runs, including unlocked paths, access to new levels, mutations, abilities and weapons.
Combat
Combat uses responsive controls and an emergency roll to help you escape danger. You face challenging foes in fights described as tough but fair, with death sending you back to start another run.
