About

Dead Cells is a rogue-lite, metroidvania inspired, action-platformer. You'll explore a sprawling, ever-changing castle... assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers in 2D souls-lite combat. No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.

AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Hades II

Hades II

Like Dead Cells, Hades II offers a relentless roguelike loop where each run is a chance to grow stronger and uncover more of a rich, mythic world, but with an even greater emphasis on narrative progression and character development.

Children of Morta

Children of Morta

Trade the lone prisoner for a family of heroes, but keep the pixel-art roguelike dungeon crawling with a strong narrative backbone. Each death in Children of Morta contributes to a larger family saga, much like Dead Cells' persistent progression.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

While not a roguelike, this game offers the same exhilarating side-scrolling platforming and combat, with a deep metroidvania structure and a compelling story that will appeal to fans of Dead Cells' movement and discovery.
