PC and console game comes to mobile
Fans of Dead Cells on PC and consoles will be happy to know that Playdigious’s game is now available on Android. Its redesign includes a new touchscreen control for smartphones.
2D action platformer with improved mechanics
Dead Cells is a roguevania game that brings 2D platform action-adventure elements to your Android device.
Dead Cells delivers a side-scrolling RPG experience for Android devices. You can play using the revised touchscreen controls or connect a controller to your smartphone. Unfortunately, you can’t transfer saved data from any other platform, and you’ll have to start from scratch.
The point of the roguevania game is to traverse the castle grounds on the lonely island as a failed experiment. There are challenging enemies, while gameplay can be difficult at times. You must find the best combination of weapons and skill to survive each level.
Unlike similar action platform games, Dead Cells isn’t free. Yet, the graphics and content make it worth your while through each nonlinear level progression.
Where can you run this program?
The minimum requirement is Android 6.0 operating system.
Is there a better alternative?
Yes. Stickman Legends: Shadow War and Shadow Knight: Deathly Adventure offers similar platform adventure experiences while being free on Google Play.
Our take
Dead Cells provides exciting roguelike action that fans of the genre will enjoy. Mobile mechanics may be hard at first, but it becomes easier once you become used to it.
Should you download it?
Yes. While you could wait for the price to drop, it remains an exhilarating game to play with action elements to keep you interested.
