Dead Cells for iOS goes on sale for the first time ever

Dead Cells is pretty darn terrific, and its iOS port is among the best we've seen in a fair while. Its blend of fast-paced hack-and-slash action and roguelike mechanics make for a great, often brutally hard time.

Playdigious, the team behind the port, tweeted out a little tease earlier today, suggesting some big news is on the way. Could it be the announcement of a release date for the long-awaited Android port? Only time will tell.

Brace yourselves, adventurers! We will have something great to talk about in a few hours... Stay tuned! — Playdigious (@Playdigious) April 7, 2020

Six quid for one of the best indies around is an absolute steal, and those who value breadth of content above all will be pleased to hear that you can easily sink dozens of hours into its labyrinthine castle and many challenging bosses.

If you'd like to take advantage of the discount price while it's still available, you'll find Dead Cells over on the App Store. As I say, it's worth every penny, as our glowing review of the Switch version attests to.
