Dead cells puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what's happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly Cursed island. Tough but fair combat, responsive controls, challenging foes, permadeath and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble, make for a demanding, visceral and cathartic action game.

Great game worth the wait for the physical version
5 Stars
Great game worth the wait for the physical version
Even though I had to wait a couple of extra days for the physical version of this game I'm glad I did since I prefer physical over digital versions of games. Even though it was not posted in the listing it came with a mini art book included which is a nice little bonus. The gameplay is great after playing for hours and hours I kept coming back for more,the way the dungeons randomly generate is great giving you a new challenge every time you play. And since it is a physical version there is nothing quite like being able to share this with friends and family members that also own a switch.
Thank you for your feedback
