#LEGENDARY BLUEPRINTS DEAD CELLS FREE#

So let’s talk about how each game plays out and, truthfully, they both are the same. Though, in my mind, I think Dead Cells probably has a firm but subjective lead here. Truthfully this is purely aesthetic but check both of these games as we go because I like the look of both of these titles. Part of that could be due to the fact Dead Cells started in early access over three years ago and has really grown, but I can’t imagine that Hades will ever have the same variety of locations and enemy types, though I would enjoy that just as much. The enemies all look great and are well animated but there’s not as much. The 2d characters here are beautifully drawn and look incredible but they amount to cutscenes. There are also the gods, and characters in Hades, and that’s where Hades really shines. Hades is a little smaller, having about half the enemy selection, and while it has beautiful areas, there are only 4 themed areas, along with a House of Hades itself and a few special locations. I will applaud Supergiant for returning to the same style, and somehow getting a fourth game that looks and feels brand new. If you know Supergiant’s previous games of Bastion and Transistor, you know this look, but the art is brand new. Hades is an isometric 3d dungeon crawler. There are over 20 biomes, which players will progress through and each feels like a new area with its own selections of enemies that fit in with the theme. Dead Cells has over 70 unique enemies, and except for a couple of flies, each enemy has a different design. There are also a lot of different characters, levels, and biomes here.

Dead Cells is a two-dimensional platformer with a focus on close combat, where you get to see highly detailed character models. I normally don’t cover graphics because they are subjective and honestly, I don’t believe they are truly that important to a great game, but Hades and Dead Cells have a major difference. I’m going to break down these games into five categories, and we’ll start with Graphics.

Feel free to make up your own mind as we go, I’ll be honest, I won’t purely be judging this competition based on who takes the most categories, and I won’t be making a firm proclamation because these two games are both really freaking good, and what I like, may not be what you like.
