Is this game still relevant?

Dead Cells is the premier Metroidvania title on PC. 30XX just relies on nostalgia goggles from Megaman. Oblivion Override does the Robot thing better.

For a game on sale for $16 and it has the length and feel of a good Megaman X game I think it is worth it. The mods are pretty fun too

Both games are different and offer different experiences, I personally think Both are cool and just like seeing Megaman-like games on the rise

I own and like both games. 30XX has more platforming mechanics than Dead Cells.

30XX is not a metroidvania game. It's like saying "TikTok is the premiere social media app. Is WhatsApp still relevant?"

Why ARE the trolls out in such force for this game, I wonder.

Not everyone is autistic op and wants to play the same game over and over and over (aka Dead Cells).

Well for me personally, The gameplay is tighter, And Personally I appreciate the Pixel art over the 3D model to Pixel Art that dead cells uses, it still looks good mind you I just appreciate 30XX more.

Deadcells tries really hard to be 2D RogueSouls and it does it well. It does collabs and expansions and honestly does desevere the praise that it gets. But It's a bit much for me, Looking at items and modifiers I don't want to sit and contemplate "do I want ice grenade? I get a lot of damage when they're on fire..." For me it leaves too much to chance.

30XX is a relatively simple game, no offense to the developers. But it's that simplicity that makes it easy for me to pick up and play a run. Don't get me wrong they have a lot of interesting power interactions but I don't get to see them because the Entropy Modifiers are questionable; but it provides a linear scaling to the game.

They're two very, very different games. This is like comparing Nuclear Throne to Binding of Isaac just 'cuz they're both top down rougelikes, that's where the differences start and end. Either this is jester baiting or a very strange take.
I did enjoy my time with Dead Cells though, but 30XX really scratches the Megaman X4-y gameplay itch for me despite it being a little rough around the edges.

[Zeyphel]

Personally I like 30XX more but they are very close. Dead Cells is an amazing game as well and both games have different play styles.

Man get outta here with this lazy trolling.

Because they are not brave enough to go to the big games where they know that they are gona banned in 5 minutes.

Get a load of this guy. He must think he's a master baiter.

It's the Steam forums. Every game is like this on the Steam forums. Dumb questions galore. Just wait for the "iS tHis gAme deAd???" Somebody will post it any time now if they haven't already.

You need a hobby

[ZKaagelnaodsa]

Dead Cells doesn't play like Megaman X.
Oblivion Override doesn't play like Megaman X.
You may excuse yourself from the table now.
