Description
Dead Cells puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what's happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly cursed Island. Immortal but crippled, your last resort is to take over bodies in order to move, explore… and fight.
While you may well be immortal, the corpses you possess are not. Each time your host is destroyed, you will be sent back to the dungeon to find yourself a new one and start again...
Experience a Roguevania, mixing an interconnected world, branching paths and unlockable skills with the constant adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath. No checkpoints. You either vanquish the final boss in one go or you try again. However, you keep some of your progress for successive runs new paths you’ve unlocked, access to new levels, mutations, abilities and weapons.
Tough but fair combat, responsive controls, challenging foes, and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble make for a visceral and cathartic action game.

About Dead Cells
Dead Cells is a roguelite action platformer developed by Motion Twin, combining fast combat, branching level progression, permanent upgrades, and metroidvania-inspired exploration. Players control a failed alchemical experiment known as the Prisoner, fighting through a cursed island filled with monsters, traps, bosses, secret routes, and powerful weapons.
The core loop is built around runs. Each attempt sends players through dangerous biomes where they collect weapons, skills, mutations, gold, and cells used to unlock permanent upgrades. Death sends you back to the beginning, but new equipment, routes, and knowledge make every run part of long-term progression.
Combat is the main focus. Dead Cells rewards fast reactions, dodging, parrying, positioning, and smart weapon choices. Players can build around swords, bows, shields, traps, grenades, turrets, status effects, and strange experimental tools, creating different playstyles from run to run. Some builds focus on close-range aggression, while others rely on ranged attacks, poison, fire, bleed, or defensive timing.
The game also stands out for its movement and pacing. Levels are quick to navigate, enemies hit hard, and boss fights demand precision. Dead Cells is a strong pick if you enjoy roguelites, action platformers, metroidvania progression, pixel art, difficult combat, build variety, and replayable single-player games where every death teaches something useful.
Dead Cells is currently available on Xbox Game Pass. If you are already a subscriber, you can access it through your membership. If you do not have Game Pass, GameBoost offers Xbox Game Pass gift cards as an alternative way to get started.
