Alex and Luke talk Dead Cells.

Dead Cells was developed by Motion Twin. It's a rogue-lite, metroidvania inspired, action-platformer (“Rougeuvania”). You explore a sprawling, ever-changing castle... assuming you’re able to fight your way past its keepers in 2D souls-lite combat. No checkpoints. Kill, die, learn, repeat.

Early access for Dead Cells was released for Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on August 7, 2018. A mobile port for iOS was released on August 28, 2019 and an Android port was released on June 3, 2020.

This was both Luke and Alex's first experience with the game. They played on the Nintendo Switch. Alex rolled the credits. Luke did not. He's been demoted to a lower case "g" gamer.
