My only complaint is that there aren’t more. The three boss fights through the DLC are challenging, nostalgic rides. It’s not a Caslevania if you’re not fighting the likes of Death or Dracula. For example, the giant save icosahedron can be found, along with other well-known areas throughout the GBA games.

There are plenty of secrets to be found throughout your runs of the biomes. I found my failures to be more about my hard headedness and never about the game jacking me around. The biomes are difficult, but never unfair. Exploring Castle Outskirts, you will always come to a portion that requires riding an elevator up multiple biomes and finding buttons to keep ascending further into the biome. The structure in each pretty much remains the same, though. Just like the rest of Dead Cells these Castlevania-inspired biomes are randomized.

It’s an adventure that will take you across two full biomes, and two boss biomes. There are a few story moments, but all you need to know is that Dracula is on the verge of awakening, and you need to defeat him. The enemies look great, and are a blend of skeletons, werewolves, and battle knights you come to expect from the series. Once in, you’re immediately hit with the classic tunes and pixelated art style.
DEAD CELLS DLC IOS SERIES
Series staple, Richter, guards the entry into the Castle Outskirts within the Prison Start area. You don’t have to go far to access Return to Castlevania’s content. With Return to Castlevania, Motion Twin steps away from the indie inspired content and ventures into a world that inspired the self-proclaimed “Roguevania.” What they deliver is a handful of biomes, enemies, and boss encounters that immediately takes you back to the early days of GBA Castlevanias. I kept a curious eye on it through the years, watching as a conveyor belt of DLC and add-ons rolled out, most of them celebrating other indie games with weapons and small nods to its indie kin. Overwhelmed by the mixture of souls-lite combat and the rogue-lite structure, Dead Cells has daunted me from the deep corners of my Steam library for the last five years.
