no real need to sugar coat it : evil empire did some work for dead cells dlc. it shows here. i don't think it's a bad thing, because they clearly learned a thing or two, since rogue prince of persia blends in some pretty solid platforming and great controls to an action roguelike.

it definitely pulls a bit ahead because of that fact - a lot of 2d plaforming roguelikes merely have it as a backdrop and do not really put much thought in the design. not the case here, lots of consideration went into that, especially since your moveset and the platforming can play into combat a lot.

the only really sticking point is the price point : a steep 30 USD. for what's on offer, it's relatively fair - the game offers quality both in terms of visuals and gameplay. the problem is that it faces competition for lower-priced offerings in the same genre, of which the players might not really care about what this game does well or better than the rest. i still think it's worth your consideration, but at the same time i would understand preferring to invest your money (and subsequently time) on other games in the genre.
