We knew Netflix had snagged the iconic roguelike\/metroidvania<\/ins><\/a> Dead Cells<\/em> for its ever-growing games library, and now we know when it\u2019ll release. Dead Cells: Netflix Edition<\/em> will be available on October 31. That\u2019s Halloween, to those who don\u2019t mess with the dark pagan arts. This is the full game, along with every paid DLC release, including the <\/ins>Castlevania<\/ins><\/em> crossover.<\/ins><\/a><\/p>\n

A standard Netflix subscription gives you access to the game on both iOS and Android devices, so you can finally see what all the Dead Cells<\/em> fuss is about without spending any extra cash. As for that Halloween release date, this launch is part of the streamer\u2019s \u201cNetflix and Thrills\u201d promotional event. Dead Cells<\/em> isn\u2019t a scary game, but it is steeped in a certain kind of classic gothic horror, like its forebear Castlevania.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick run down. You play as a headless blob\/human hybrid, attempting to escape an island prison. It\u2019s a sidescrolling action platformer. Every time you die, you start over and the world\u2019s layout changes, which makes it a roguelike. However, you do get permanent upgrades that carry over from run to run and power ups that let you access new areas, which is where the Metroidvania part comes in. It\u2019s extremely addictive, like calling in sick to work addictive.<\/p>\n

\n

In other words, there\u2019s a reason Dead Cells has sold more than 10 million copies across numerous platforms and has even inspired a forthcoming animated series.<\/ins><\/a> If you\u2019ve been on the fence for the, uh, past five years and have a Netflix account, this is a no brainer.<\/p>\n

The streamer\u2019s \u201cNetflix and Thrills\u201d event also sees the release of a brand-new sequel to the indie hit Slayaway Camp, <\/em>which drops today. As for TV and movies, the company\u2019s traditional bread and butter, \u201cNetflix and Thrills\u201d features the release of Mike Flanagan\u2019s The Fall of the House of Usher,<\/em> UFO docuseries Encounters<\/em> and the survival thriller Nowhere<\/em>, among many others.<\/p>\n
