Dead Cells: First Random Levels -- Too Much Action, Not Enough Adventure
Dead Cells Gameplay on PlayStation 5
First few random playthroughs and loot grinds in this 2D sidescrolling cel-shade em up. They say it's a roguelike or a roguelite, but who is they? These levels are exactly the same. Same enemies, same platforming, just different item drops. I guess you could call it permadeath, but even Nintendo NES and Sega Genesis games sent you back to the start after you died. I think the controls are spot on and it is super action packed, but that's it. The combat for now is too simple and it's funny I say that because I didn't pass Level 1 (Or Stage 1). If it had more elaborate level design, I would have been more intrigued to keep going. And, maybe it does but I won't be compelled to get there. The DLC is coming out soon, so pick it up cheap on your cute portable system and try real hard to be an action gamer.
