Video Game Review: Dead Cells: Return To Castlevania - Xbox One


Dead Cells
is a game that is known for its challenging gameplay and captivating story. In the latest expansion, 'Return to Castlevania', Dead Cells takes on the storyline of the classic platformer game, Castlevania.

The premise of the expansion is that the player takes on the role of the legendary vampire hunter, Simon Belmont, who must traverse through a treacherous castle to defeat the evil Dracula. Along the way, Simon must battle through hordes of his minions, navigate precarious traps and obstacles, and collect powerful weapons and upgrades to aid him on his quest.

As you make your way through the castle, you'll encounter many familiar Castlevania enemies, like Medusa heads, bone-tossing skeletons, and axe-wielding knights. Each of these enemies requires a unique strategy to defeat, and as you progress through the game, they'll become tougher and more challenging. 

One of the most exciting new features of the expansion is the inclusion of new weapons and upgrades that are inspired by classic Castlevania games. You'll be able to wield Simon's iconic whip, alongside many other weapons, each with their unique advantages and disadvantages.

Another great addition is the inclusion of new bite-sized levels that serve to break up the action and keep the game feeling fresh. These levels can be accessed from any point in the game, and they offer a chance to collect valuable resources, level up your character, and prepare for the upcoming challenges. 

Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania is an impressive game that offers an engaging and challenging gameplay experience. The game's combat system is fluid and satisfying, with a wide range of weapons and abilities that allow for varied playstyles. The levels are well-designed and offer a good balance of exploration and combat. 

The game's art style is also noteworthy, with detailed pixel art and atmospheric environments. Dead Cells: Return To Castlevania is a must-play for fans of action-platformers and rogue-likes.


 

Dead Cells: Return To Castlevania combines the best elements from two classic games: the fast-paced action of Dead Cells, and the Gothic atmosphere of Castlevania. It is an exciting new take on the classic Metroidvania genre that is sure to please fans of both games.

In the game, you play as an undead warrior who must venture deep into the haunted halls of Castle Dracula to defeat the evil lord himself. Along the way, you will encounter a variety of monsters and challenges that will test your skills and abilities. One of the unique features of Dead Cells: Return To Castlevania is the ability to switch between different weapons and abilities on the fly. This allows you to adapt to different situations and make the most of your character's strengths.

Another key aspect of the game is the exploration. The castle is a vast, interconnected maze of corridors, rooms, and secret passages that you will need to navigate if you want to uncover all of its secrets. There are hidden treasures, powerful weapons, and ancient artifacts to discover, and each one will help you on your quest to defeat Dracula.

Overall, Dead Cells: Return To Castlevania is a thrilling and challenging game that is sure to please fans of both Dead Cells and Castlevania.

The event featured rides, exhibits, games and great (yet too expensive) food for attendees at the show.
