In Dead Cells, you control a shapeless mass of cells inhabiting the corpses of executed prisoners. You must fight through a labyrinthine island filled with mutated monstrosities and lethal traps. The game features an interconnected world with branching paths—unlocking permanent upgrades like runes allows you to access new areas in subsequent runs. The combat is fast, fluid, and punishing, rewarding players who master the art of the "panic roll," parrying, and weapon synergies.
