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.
Experience a roguevania, mixing an interconnected world, branching paths and unlockable skills with the constant adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath. No checkpoints. You either vanquish the final boss in one go, or you try again. However, you keep some of your progress for successive runs; new paths you’ve unlocked, access to new levels, mutations, abilities and weapons.
Speaking of weapons, Dead Cells features a plethora of ways to slay your enemies. A large variety of swords, bows and of course spells, but also whips, grenades and turrets, each one with its own unique twist. Plus, mutations and scrolls allow you to build and customize your character differently with each and every run.
At the end of the day though, it’s YOUR skills as a player that matter most! Roguelites are about constantly sharpening your skills, until what was an insurmountable obstacle becomes a walk in the park. Patience, you’ll get better!… eventually.
Limited to 2000 copies of each format, the Signature Edition versions will include a copy of the game, a double-CD soundtrack, an exclusive enamel character pin, a 56-page hardback artbook, a numbered certificate of authenticity and will be presented in an outer box featuring exclusive artwork in a matte finish with spot gloss. The PlayStation®4 Dead Cells Signature Edition is priced at $45 / €40 / £35 and the Nintendo Switch Dead Cells Signature Edition at $50 / €45 / £40. Both formats are available to pre-order now on the Signature Edition Games website (www.signatureeditiongames.com).
PC players can look forward to a Dead Cells Special Edition. Featuring exclusive case artwork, a 20-page concept artbook and game soundtrack. The PC Dead Cells Special Edition will launch on August 17 priced at €34.99 / £29.99.
Also, Laced Records, in partnership with Motion Twin, bring you the Dead Cells Original Soundtrack on deluxe double vinyl. The release includes 15 tracks from the game’s composer Yoann Laulan. This limited release is pressed on double 180g transparent orange and violet vinyl and packaged in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. To be released in September.
