help Dead Cells FAQ
What happens when you die in Dead Cells?
Dead Cells uses permadeath, so a run ends when the Prisoner dies and most temporary gear is lost. Permanent unlocks, such as blueprints and some upgrades, create progress across runs.
Who made Dead Cells?
Dead Cells was developed by Motion Twin, a French studio. Evil Empire later handled major updates and expansions for the game.
Why is Dead Cells called a roguelite Metroidvania?
It combines procedural run structure and permadeath with side-scrolling exploration, ability gates, and unlockable routes. The result feels different from a fixed-map Metroidvania like Hollow Knight.
What is The Bad Seed in Dead Cells?
The Bad Seed is a paid expansion for Dead Cells that added new early-game biomes and a boss. Other expansions include Fatal Falls, The Queen and the Sea, and Return to Castlevania.
