Coming from PC to Mobile

It was such a bliss to have this game for free on my phone, coming from the PC version. I was reluctant to buy the app store version due to me thinking mobile was less of an experience, however those were shattered as these experiences are almost identical. The game itself is also a masterpiece. I love the unique way they implement a fast pacing through rewarding players with extra rewards. The fast pacing makes the game truly a roller coaster of dopamine for me, seeing all the numbers popping up. The structures in the game is something I am really amazed at. Somehow, I play this game with so many runs, yet, every time I step into a new run, the rooms look completely different, making each run a new unique experience. For new players getting to this game through seeing it free on Netflix, I can recommend a build consisting of Vorpan, a shield of choices (Assault shied if you get a hang on it), Wolf Trap, and Leg Hugger or any typical damage/effect gadget. This build cannot work unless you have Predator mutation. Vorpan can ensure you a critical hit if you hit while in front of the enemy and Predator mutation can ensure you doing so safely. You can easily preserve your hp due to one-shot most non boss enemy. Using this to your advantage, you can easily unlock the doors after each run, putting yourself ahead with extra cells, money, and health flask.

Masterpiece. Also tips:

There are 2 builds I like. The first one is the dual daggers and an ice blast (harder of the 2 but can deal good damage if strategic). Speed run the first level and upgrade health and damage. And the tank,instantly get the mutation that decreases health after getting hit. if you get the nutcracker take it as well as any other damaging thing. If you stumble on the bat in a shop and it does around the same get it (it crits more often).explore the entire first area, it’s your friend. Start by getting whatever gives you the most percent health (those power scroll things choose the one that says the highest percent. then once you get to forest start doing all healing tier and whatever helps your mutations on the ones where you can’t. When you get to concierge just throw down your placables and spam hit him (heal if you need. And that’s all a can help with

Great game with needed updates

I don’t have many complaints about the gameplay and the game itself is fun and strategically balanced on how you should approach enemies. One thing that’s an absolute must is when you’re in battle and need to reload your health the hold to replenish is finicky. It should be a simple press because in difficult fighting situations it just doesn’t make sense holding the button while your enemies are still attacking you. Hopefully developers take note to the comments and consider this for their next patch update.

Game crashes

Dead cells is an amazing game that slowly grows on you. I’ve been playing it a lot recently, however, after some time, the game crashes and kicks you out of the app. You still left off from where you were but then it becomes continuous. I tried restarting my device and closing every app leaving only the dead cells app on and the crashes still occur. If this issue was fixed along with the audio and frame drops, I would give this game 5 stars Edit: After testing the game out, frame drops and audio issues are guaranteed to happen when going through toxic sewers and, especially, ancient sewers. Overall, they occur after passing 2-3 domains. Restarting the app fixes it TEMPORARILY. The game then crashes when you unlock most of the weapons and items in the game. This occurs even after deleting the app completely and reinstalling it.

Would get 5 stars if it didn't do this

i love dead cells, i bought the game a year ago and i'm happy that it's now free for me on mobile. i have this one gripe that makes the majorly impacts my enjoyment of the game. when i try to listen to music while playing, it cuts it out and there's nothing i can do to fix it. i tried turning the volume off in the setting but it still didnt let me play music. this is a really big turn off because dead cells is the type of game i enjoy more with music. just exploring dungeons and fighting monsters on the go with my favorite music playing is such a cool idea to me. but unless the devs add this feature in the game isn't complete to me. if they ever add this feature in i'd be ecstatic but for now i'm playing dead cells on console.

It’s truly a 5/5 game, bugs bring it down to 3

I say this as some one that loves this game and find it perfect to play on mobile w/touch screens. It takes while to get used to it but once you do this becomes one of the best games ever on mobile. I have the original iOS version of the app and I’m glad to have the Netflix version for all the dlc. But the frame rate and audio bugs are very annoying. It doesn’t stop me from playing it whatsoever, but the workaround to quit the game and then quit the app itself then open it back up again is annoying to do 2-3 times per sit. I don’t really do reviews and don’t know if you can edit a previous review, but if an update fixes this then easily 5/5, best game ever for iPhone. Cheers

Great game, but the sound keeps bugging

I’m not really one for RougeLites, but deadcells is pretty good. I tried googling my problem, and looks like there is a post from Reddit that is 4 years old. The sound keeps bugging out. The Official Netflix Deadcells webpage says to close all other apps and try reloading the app. Which is kinda crazy that i need to do in the first place. Many times I can not complete a full fun without the sound bugging out on me. How am i supposed to close and reload a RougeLite game? Every time i close and re-open it ill need to start all the way from the beginning again. If only Netflix would be more active on fixing this 4 year old issue im sure more people would give it more 5 star reviews.

Unplayable

As the title says, this game is unplayable on my device (IPhone 15 Pro). I check on Reddit to see if the problem was on my end and multiple people are saying that it only happens to them when they play the Netflix edition and not the one that you can download after buying a subscription to Apple Arcade. Although my favorite things about this game is the combat, the weapons, and how you have the ability to Parry. Coming back to what I said earlier, I tried disabling high resolution mode, kept the FPS to 30 or 60 (I thought the issue would be having the FPS to uncapped but that wasn’t it). If somehow they end up fixing this, I will change my review.
