Inside the dungeons, the player can find hidden Power Scrolls, which increase the Prisoner’s hit points and increase the damage of weapons depending upon the tool’s classification of Brutality, Tactics, or Survival. The player can reforge weapons during this time, giving the reforged weapons new effects during combat. Levels are procedurally generated by the merging of predesigned sections in a random configuration, creating dungeons with many different placements of enemies and items.īetween dungeons, the player can obtain a limited number of mutations, benefits which grant unique bonuses to the Prisoner’s capabilities that last until they die.
When falling from a height, the Prisoner can slam into the ground, allowing them to stun enemies, or allow the Prisoner to fall from heights without getting stunned themselves.
Dodging into an enemy’s space allows the Prisoner to move through them and attack from behind. In combat, the Prisoner can dodge across the ground to avoid the attacks of enemies, or jump over the attacks. Weapons primarily include swords, bows, shields, and placeable traps that harm enemies that come near them. When the player dies, they lose all weapons and upgrades obtained in a playthrough, excluding a few permanent items. The Prisoner explores a fictional island infested with mutated monsters, which must be traversed so the Prisoner can kill the island’s King. The player controls the Prisoner, an amorphous creature that can possess human corpses. So it was time to correct that, with all the news about the upcoming Castlevania Expansion, it was time.ĭead Cells is a 2D side-scrolling “roguevania”, a combination of procedurally-generated roguelike games and action-exploration-based Metroidvania games. All the time forgetting about Dead Cells. After that I would often try different ones such as Neon Abyss and Curse of the Dead Gods. Since then I realized I was honestly missing out on a satisfying game loop I never knew I would have enjoyed as much as I do today. Up until 2020 when a friend of mine could stop singing the praises of Hades, which took the gaming world by storm that year, and still to date is one of the best “indie” games I have ever played. Dead Cells came and went without me really even acknowledging it’s existence. In the past I was never what you would consider a fan of rogue-like games.
