Dead Cells: Netflix Edition

Netflix, Inc.

About this game

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Escape a limitless castle with an undead twist in this roguevania action platformer. Find secrets, take down bosses, and if you die? Start from the bottom and reignite the fight.

You’re what’s left after a botched experiment in an abandoned castle made you a pile of undead sludge. All you need to escape is someone else’s less-than-alive body and the sheer will to battle your way through a constantly changing, pixel art castle full of rogue enemies and terrifying bosses. Learn the ropes of action-packed 2D combat and platform exploration, master a variety of weapons and develop your strengths as you unravel the secrets of the dungeon, the castle and whatever lies beyond.

Also: don’t worry about dying. That’s what the giant pile of corpses in the dungeon is for. Fight, learn, die, start over and keep getting better.

The Netflix edition includes all of the free and paid downloadable content created for the original game, so members can experience the full scope of their escape from the first awakening. Battle through the secret Arboretum in "The Bad Seed" expansion, hone your combat skills in "Rise of the Giant," rise from the dungeon to the shore with "Fatal Falls," fight the castle’s baddest boss in "The Queen and the Sea" and enlist the help of iconic Castlevania characters Alucard and Richter Belmont to take on Dracula in the ultra-retro "Return to Castlevania" DLC.

Features:

• Fight unique enemies in each castle biome and learn how to evade their special abilities.
• Loot and level up new weapons, advantages, genetic enhancements and more to customize your hero on every new escape attempt.
• Awaken into a new challenge every time you resurrect; with the castle’s magically shifting layout, no two runs will ever be the same.
• Explore secret areas within and around the castle to unlock big rewards (or even bigger bosses).

Ratings and reviews

Great game overall. The story is honestly pretty dark, but everything that you see happens is clearly supposed to be slap stick. Definitely one of the hardest games I've played. I don't expect you to beat anything past the 2nd at most hardest difficulty. you will die a lot but that's kinda the point of the game. I'd still recommend getting it on your computer or gaming device over mobile, but it's still pretty good. plus the dlc is free on here

5 stars. Includes all DLC. so many hours of gameplay, This is the best Metroidvania/Roguelike on the market. hands down. Get this game and a controller ASAP. Edit: I cannot beat the Throne room because of a lighting bug. bright light from the center of the room expands and blinds everything. I'm finding no mention of this online. 5 times I've gotten there and 5 times I cannot beat him cuz I can't see anything. so the game is literally unplayable. I think I have to quit playing... :(

I love that it includes the DLC packs, but there are times when it just never loads in, no matter what. I end up not getting to play until I check back hours or even days later to see if it works. Edit: It's usually because I die to one of the last bosses, and probably because of how far I progressed, it takes at least 3 minutes to clear everything and begin anew. I admit I didn't have the patience to just wait on the loading screen, but it's a fast-paced game. Please reduce the loading time.
