The gameplay of this game is widely praised for its depth, addictive mechanics, and variety, making it a standout in the metroidvania and roguelike genres. Players appreciate the smooth controls, extensive content, and the challenge it offers, although some have noted issues with bugs and the lack of cloud saving for progress.

- “So many hours of gameplay, this is the best metroidvania/roguelike on the market.”
- “Incredible gameplay, genuinely some of the most fun and addicting games out there, and it's offline.”
- “The intuitive controls and top-notch design make the gameplay incredibly satisfying.”
- “It's dead cells what I gotta say it's always gonna be a good game it got all DLCs too the only problem is no cloud saving. The case that makes me hate some of Netflix games because Dead Cells is one of those games that grinding is one of its mechanics. Now put no cloud saving into the mix, deleting it becomes impossible since you will lose hours of your progress. This was not how Dead Cells was meant to be played; no cloud saving on this game gotta be some type of crime but it's still the best.”
- “Sometimes it freezes in the middle of gameplay and you have to close the app and open it again... but it doesn't happen often, so it's fine.”
