Crashing castles in DEAD CELLS.
Dead Cells has robust DNA. This is an action platformer with Castlevania’s environments and gothic bestiary, wed to Dark Souls’ exploration and sense of risk. From Diablo it inherits weapons with randomised effects and deep combo potential, and from Spelunky it learns how to create that ‘just one more run’ feeling with new surprises to discover. This is an ambitious act of successful synthesis, as its components have been executed beautifully.
It’s gorgeous, for a start. Smooth animation, evocative pixel art and gratifying effects cast Dead Cells in a good light from the off. Its moody fortresses and haunted villages are atmospheric but never drab, and each zone introduces a new splash of colour to the game’s palette. Defeated enemies erupt in a shower of gems and weapons strike with gratifying force thanks to on-point sound design.
