My favorite of any rougue-like i've played. It has plenty of content, action, and meta-progression. Also, it has difficulties that can fit almost any person. One thing I would like is a co-op mode so I can play this with a friend. It would be hard to do because of the game's format, but would add even more fun
Reviews for Dead Cells
← Back to Dead CellsHad this game a few weeks and just forgot to rate it. Honestly, good game. It usually runs slow on my phone but I absolutely LOVE playing it. I prefer playing it on ps though, it runs a lot smoother. Love all of the game references. Kinda wished there was local co-op, it doesn't take away from the experience, I think it would be cool though. Update: got a new phone, works just as good as on console
I have a trash samsung phone that's more than 7 years old and has been through three people and this game runs amazingly. Really fun highly recommend, just buy it. You can probably sink over 100 hours in this game and progression feels just hard enough to be rewarding but also easy enough to feel fair. The game picks up where you left off so perfect for short bursts of time for those who need a game to play between breaks. This is the only game I've ever rated. let that speak for itself.
It's just so dang good - the port, the controls, the game itself... When we look back at the history of gaming, this will be a key moment in the death of "mobile" game dev and the advent of true cross platform consistency. Dead Cells competes with AAA games on all platforms, and sets the bar for others. This is an artifact of gaming history, and they'll put it in the museums right alongside Mario and Solid Snake, mark my words.
This is absolutely one of my favorite games to play on mobile. I play on a backbone controller and I recommend using a controller of some sort. The game runs amazing on my phone (2023 Moto Stylus 5G) which is a relatively cheap phone. The movement is so amazing. It's like I have no limitations on where I can move or how fast attacking to dodging can be. I don't think I can properly say how good it feels. So many different weapons and skills. The game feels endless. Just buy it. Trust me.
Dead cells is a very good roguelike, although it can sometimes be way too harsh if you are on a tight schedule. As a console game I couldn't get into it but as a mobile game I can see the appeal, it's a great time waster. If I had to change anything I would say that there should be more constant progression aside from just unlocking blueprints and cells could be boosted up a bit. But the inclusion of custom mode alleviates most of the stress, overall a fantastic game.
At first, playing this game, I just thought that it was very overrated. After 3 months of "live, die, learn and repeat," I'm proud to say that this game is probably one the hardest I played, and yes, even LoL. It's worth the money I pay for the game and DLCs. I look forward to their Castlevania soon. One notice though, if I quit the game before it can bring me to spawnpoint, the game will crash if I got in the game again and will crash 2nd time if hit "New Game" so I have to do "Continue".
This has been, by far, the best game I've played on mobile. Over the past few years, I've really started to love metriodvania titles. You can easily see the heart they put into this game. Easter eggs of Hollow Front and nods to others. It's comical, absolutely smooth(using a PS4 controller with Bluetooth), and well designed. It's worth every bit of $9, and I wouldn't have been surprised if it would have been more. If you're into the metroidvania genre, this is an absolute no brainer to get.
I absolutely love this game. If I could ask for anything, I'd ask for the ability to share progress between Steam and Android versions (and Xbox. Why not?). As it is, I have just recently decided to play the Android version again, and use Continue Mode to justify having spent the money on the game twice. It's still really fun, but I don't have the skill to beat it quickly, nor the time to play it often, and playing it natively beats streaming, even with a good connection.
Gameplay is fantastic and even better with a controller. It's a fast paced platformer with good combat. Rating isn't 5/5 because there is no way to transfer saves across devices Google play games cloud saves isn't reliable for this game, and since you need root access to view the game files, you can't download the saves manually. If you buy this game, know that it will be fun but you'll have to start over from scratch if you get a new phone
Cool game! Has a good sense of challenge, but not an impossible difficulty level. Don't confuse this with being easy as it's not, just a gradual increase of difficulty as you unlock environments and content in the game. This game gives you a great sense of accomplishment as you learn more of it while still pushing your limits as you learn of new content to achieve and conquer. This is a great game to play in short sessions or in long grinds.
Amazing game. Has the option to run at 120 FPS which is really nice for a mobile game. Although, you will need at least a snapdragon 855+ to run it at those speeds. The graphics are really good (for an 8 bit game), and the gameplay is some of the best I've ever seen from a mobile game. The controls feel like they were obviously designed for a controller, but are easy enough to get used to. If you've got the horsepower, and the high refresh rate screen to run it, it's worth the high price tag.
This might be my favorite game of all time. I’ve purchased this for my iPhone and was immediately hooked. It was on sale for Steam and wasn’t sure if I’d play it. I was wrong. I played it 100+ hours. I purchased the physical version for the Switch. It’s in my top 3 in games played. And last week I bought it for my tab s7+. It’s worth it. My two wishes. Cross platform save and the Everyone one is here DLC for google play. Other than that, this game is darn near perfect. Please keep making levels and bosses. I love the challenge even though I haven’t beaten the 1 boss cell level. It gets brutally hard.
It's a great mobile port with lots to offer. The frame rate staggers a bit which I know the devs will fix eventually. Easiest 5/5 stars I can give. But what even is this game now? Like I said, I love this game. But the recent DLCs/Updates kind of make this game an emulator for previous metrovania titles rather than a game with its own identity. It's off putting. But I enjoy the weapon/costume variety.
So far the game is really good like the console. However, being on the mobile phone will be an issue with the controls but it's not too bad. Screen lags if you're doing a lot at once. There is one problem that has been giving me some issues. The ability to switch the melee and ranged attacks for auto- hit. Being that I am used to the console version, I was expecting the same experience. Overall. Great game
Great game, pure classic. With Play Pass, the DLCs are free and nice to experience. So why three stars? I got a new phone, expected everything to go fine (I'd done gotten another phone earlier with no problems), but I'd just lost all of my progress until boss cell one. This is a huge setback; I'd no-hit Hand of the King, gotten the ability to play on the 5 boss cells difficulty, had a number of skins, etc, all erased. The updates also came out late, but I didn't mind that.
Can't say much other than it's my favorite game ever. Sure it's a little bit of a torture sometimes but everything in it is fun and every run is unique to itself. It's got a load of unique weapons with different synergies, challenging bosses (I hate the servants), amazing soundtracks, some goofy interactions, and a lot more to discover. The story is well written as well and how you discover the truth by piecing everything together is the cherry on top. Absolutely worth every penny, 10 out of 10.
DEAD cells. Just like the Xbox version this game is sick. feels really hard on the mobile version at first. but these games aren't for people who are looking for a challenge. Just like the console version was really hard at first but after you understand it and build your repertoire you get into a flow. the story is one of the best I've ever played and not many games actually hook me into the lore. when I get My first BC I'm buying all of the DLCs wish it would work with a controller though /:
Amazing game. Edit: I had logged close 1200 complete runs. Unlock 90% of the mutations, weapons, and outfits, even the hard earned perfected bosses gold outfits. Loved this game more than any other. Then one day I lost it all. All of it... down to zero due to a glitch. The greatest disappointment in any game I have ever played. Period. Contacted customer support, there was nothing they could do. Now I can't even look at the game without cringing. First loved game, and also first hated too.
it's really fun all I have to say is that I wish that finding rune and weapons where easier because I use to be finding weapon left to right but then i couldn't find any and also maybe make a kick button that stuns your enemies and also can you make it so you don't have to pay for dlc I alway spend a hour fighting and exploring just to find a place I can't give to without paying so it's a great game but it needs some things fixed
