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

I was so excited, GREAT GAME, but the circle icon that is for moving the character back and forth, up and crouch, is messed up. it kept floating all over the place, it RUINED the gameplay. i would give it 5 stars if we could get the movement icon to react more accurately, or stay in the same place on screen. i kept pressing left or right but it would make the character crouch, and alot of gameplay involves using down as well as back and forth. such a shame. immediate uninstall.

As someone with extensive Dead Cells experience, I am quite pleased with this version! It runs decently well on my phone, the controls are responsive enough, and slightly customizable (personally I recommend using the fixed pad setting rather than the floating one) but the item descriptions are rather poorly displayed. The rapid automatic scroll makes it difficult to read carefully. The battery usage is a little high, but as a ported PC game, this is understandable.

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
