Just finished "Dead Cells" and wow, what a ride! This game has totally changed how I see fast-paced combat games. The parry system? Amazing. The enemies start off tough, but they’re totally learnable, which means you get better the more you play. Even though it’s pretty hard at first, the right builds and a few tries make a huge difference.
The music was a standout for me—those 8-bit tracks in the Clock Tower and High Peak Castle levels were killer!
But by the end, I was pretty burned out, didn't chase down the true ending, and just watched it on YouTube instead. No regrets though, this game deserves all the hype it gets.
A bit off-topic but related: I'm a bigger fan of "Hades" overall, but I'm still excited for what’s next, like "Hades 2." And I heard the team behind "Dead Cells" isn't at Motion Twin anymore—hope they're cooking up something new!

Sem duvida um dos Rogue Likes mais divertidos que já joguei, infelizmente não tive paciência para atingir o verdadeiro final terminando ele cinco vezes pois estou cheio de jogos na lista mas quem sabe um dia eu retorne e termine o jogo de verdade. Finalizei 3 runs e achei divertido a dificuldade ir aumentando em cada uma.
loved this game a lot early on but I can't help but feel like its kinda gotten worse with every update. theres just so much shit in it now that it feels bloated, and the constant escalation of references to other games just got grating over time but i also might just be a needless hater on that front. the combat alone is what keeps me coming back to the game every now and then however, its probably the best out of basically all the roguelikes (that ive played) tbh

Mas que porra difícil! Mas muito bom, esse me fez persistir em um objetivo por um bom tempo que era finalizá-lo. Suas mecânicas são muito satisfatórias e o senso de progressão muito bem feitos o que me manteve instigado a continuar jogando mesmo morrendo incontáveis vezes de várias maneiras diferentes e miseráveis. O primeiro rogue like que eu finalizo e apesar da boa experiência não pretendo jogar outro jogo no estilo por enquanto por questões psicológicas kkkk. Não fiz todos os finais ainda, finalizei o jogo 5 vezes, mas fiquei devendo matar o Coletor com skin do rei, talvez em uma próxima jogatina.
I've played about 5 or 6 runs, and I am bored now. Nothing is really pulling me to try to get deeper. Combat is pretty decent but overall the game just feels too arcadey for my taste. Also, nothing of the story, world, or identity of the game is really hooking me either. As far as roguelikes go, you gotta be really good to keep me interested, and this one isn't doing it for me.
