Dead Cells Slashing Its Way To Consoles This Year
Dead Cells, a rogue-lite, metroidvania action-platformer, is coming to consoles in 2018.
The title from developer and publisher Motion Twin boasts a visual style that blends cel-shading with pixel art. It features fast-paced permadeath, with new levels that unlock with each death. The title is currently available to download as an early access game on Steam, and is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch this year.

Our Take
This gorgeous, ultra-violent title has garthered some steam
on, well, Steam during its time in early access. The difficulty with permadeath
Dead Cells offers will certainly appeal to action-platformer fans, and it’s great
to see it will debut on consoles as well. It especially seems like the perfect game
for Switch.
