#DEAD CELLS REVIEW SWITCH CODE#
The game was reviewed on PC using a pre-release download code provided by Motion Twin. The brilliant gameplay formula of quick sword swiping action, ground pounds, and bashing through doors against a colorful pool of monsters hasn’t fundamentally changed, but Return to Castlevania introduces more weapons, enemies, bosses, and outfits than any paid expansion before it.
#DEAD CELLS REVIEW SWITCH SERIES#
The Bubble Bobble x Dead Cells mashup is just begging to be made.ĭead Cells: Return to Castlevania was released on March 6 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. All we can hope is that this lays the groundwork for Motion Twin to pair up with other long-dormant franchises for similar passion projects. Castlevania fans, too, have plenty to swoon over, with numerous series references and large handful of unlockable costumes to discover, letting you explore Dead Cells as mainstays like Alucard, Richter, and Death itself. It’s one of the most polished and well executed of the game’s post-launch content. I’ve been enjoying Dead Cells since it first launched, and thus far I’ve been thrilled about Return to Castlevania. Image: Motion Twin, Evil Empire via Polygon Within these zones, you’ll spot plenty of familiar sights, like skeletons throwing bones, haunted sets of armor hurling axes, and various other nods to the franchise. As with the other biomes in Dead Cells, there’s some random level generation at play with these new areas, so it’ll be somewhat different each time you make your way through. In practical terms, it consists of basically two new “biomes” inspired by the outer walls and the inner sanctum of the castle made famous by dozens of Castlevania releases.

And thankfully, the studio pulls it off swimmingly.ĭead Cells: Return to Castlevania is the fourth paid DLC for the game, and, at $10, it’s also the most expensive of the bunch. Blending in a major, established franchise like Castlevania is another step entirely. It’s a big step for Motion Twin, which, thus far, has only teamed up with other indies for costume collaborations.
