Dead Cells

Dead Cells is a 2D action-platformer that fuses roguelike structure with interconnected level design. You control a reanimating corpse navigating a castle that reshuffles its layout each run. Combat leans on dodge-roll timing and weapon combos—you'll face guards, traps, and bosses with no mid-level saves. Death sends you back to the start, but you keep some progression currency to unlock permanent gear and abilities. Runs last 30-90 minutes depending on your route and skill. The loop: push deeper, die to something new, tweak your build, try again. Expect to fail often early on as you learn enemy patterns and optimal paths through the shifting rooms.
