Dead Cells
A 2D roguelike Metroidvania where each death resets the run but some upgrades carry over.
Dead Cells is a 2D side-scrolling action platformer that blends roguelike structure with Metroidvania design. Players control the Prisoner, who fights through procedurally generated levels built from pre-designed sections in shifting arrangements. Combat uses melee weapons, bows, traps and dodging, and enemy patterns reward careful observation. Death costs most collected items, but Cells can buy upgrades that persist, and Runes unlock new traversal abilities. It is a solo experience for players who enjoy repeated attempts.
