Synopsis:

You take on the role of a failed alchemical experiment, one who awakens on a seemingly curse island - one that is ever-changing and highly dangerous. A 2D platformer that combines classic with rogue-lite elements, including permadeth and no checkpoints. It's tough but fair - and never forget, the dodge roll is your friend. With 90 plus weapons and spells, plenty of secrets to uncover and a non-linear path to explore - Dead Cells is as unforgiving as it is rewarding.
