Dead Cells Preview: Metroidvania Goes Rogue | Fextralife

Emergence at Fextralife writes, "With upcoming games like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Runic helping to restore the Metroidvania genre to prominence, we are seeing a resurgence of interest in that straightforward exploration experience. No pretenses or bombast, just enter a large castle or sprawling structure and unlock your way through a host of enemies. Dead Cells is a new entry in that genre but with its own twist: the Roguelike genre staple of permadeath that really raises the stakes. Add in 2D Soulslike combat like that found in Salt and Sanctuary and now youve really got something interesting. Indie Developer Motion Twin recently announced that the game will be heading into early access on PC on May 10th, Lets take a look at what the fusion will look like."
