The roguelike Metroidvania scene is packed with a ton of great titles to choose from, but Dead Cells remains a special game. Its addicting gameplay, unique characters, and its heavy-hitting attacks just feel special. Not every roguelike can nail this feeling but Dead Cells manages to do so and it makes it look easy. Motion Twin has been releasing DLC, crossover events, and much more for Dead Cells ever since its release a couple of years back and it seems like they’re not done.
