Dead Cells

Dead Cells is an action/roguelike game that follows the Metroidvania style of exploration released in 2018. In the game, players will step into the shoes of an unnamed humanoid creature known as the Prisoner, as they always start at the base of a dank prison. Players will fight through procedurally-generated levels and collect "cells" to unlock permanent upgrades, including tools, traps, and weapons, to further their quest to reach the top of the castle and face off with the unnamed king. Dead Cells has had several expansion packs, including an ambitious collaboration with Konami's Castlevania franchise.
