DEV · Motion Twin2018

Dead Cells is a roguelite, metroidvania inspired, action-platformer. You'll 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.

Niche but breathing. Best chance to find others at peak hours.
Currently at 36% of the all-time peak of 2,680 players.

No public concurrent-player API exists for these platforms. Other sites guess by scraping achievement timestamps or leaderboards. We won’t make up numbers. If the platforms ever ship a real API, real numbers will show up here.
