I got on the Dead Cells train a little later than most, but I loved it enough to purchase an arcade cabinet skinned in the original artwork. It now sits in my grandson’s bedroom.

Because I’d only played it on an “arcade” version, I learned a sort of “speed-runner” style of play. It was fast. Too fast to enjoy the beauty and depth of the game.

Since I’ve been playing it on Steam, I’ve begun to realize the story unfolding before my eyes. It’s not a hack and slash; it’s an adventure with a white knuckle combat system. To boot, it’s a Roguelike game, so the player learns something entirely new with every playthrough.

So, I had an idea. I have decided to start from the beginning, taking a much slower approach to the game. This game is pure art.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be commentating my morning runs as I go back to the very start. I will stream them live on YouTube and post them afterward on RevDareCloud.Com.

I think I’ll call the videos, “The Art of Dead Cells”. You can watch the streams and subscribe here .
