Dead Cells, a game that has become a minor addiction for me is going to officially release on August 7th.

Check out their fancy new trailer:

Here's what we've been told it will include at the full launch:

  • 13 Levels - Each one with its own atmosphere, foes and secrets to discover.
  • 4 Bosses - Made by the most sadistic of the devs, raised on the salt of the testers. 
  • 80 or so weapons and skills - Spears, swords, bows, freeze blast, etc. 
  • 4 special powers, unlocking new areas and paths (metroidvania gear lock items).
  • 1 Daily Run Mode Complete with leaderboards for lording it over your mates.

It's hooked me in a way I seriously didn't think it would. I honestly thought I would have grown tired of dying in it by now, but the gameplay is just so damn fun it's not even a struggle to keep going.

Find it on Humble Store, GOG and Steam, currently in Early Access with Linux support.

This is quite a good game.. Challenging!

It's really good, but there's still issues with controller support (specifically the Steam Controller). Hope it gets fixed before release since keyboard-mapping mode isn't cutting it right now.

I agree, controller support is broken and sc-controller does not fix the issue for me. Will wait for native support.
