With a trophy case full of prizes under its belt, the “Metroidvania-style” indie hit Dead Cells has just arrived on the Chromebook Perks website. Released in late 2018, Dead Cells was originally released for desktop and console and grabbed nearly an impressive 2.4 million paid downloads after its release on the Nintendo Switch in August of 2019. That was the same month that Dead Cells was launched on iOS. Earlier this year, Motion Twin brought the wildly popular game to Android and now eligible Chromebook owners can choose the $ 8.99 Android version from the Play Store for free.
I’ve seen Dead Cells around the web and heard about its popularity, but had to play it to this day. After claiming the benefit and installing it on my phone, I decided to give it to my Chromebook. It was fun on my phone, but honestly I prefer games in this genre on desktop or console. Much to my delight, Dead Cells started life on the ultimate form factor and Motion Twin took the time to bring the full keyboard experience into the Android app. Playing on a Chromebook felt no different than playing a game that is natural to the PC landscape. In addition, the game is really fast and fun. I do not like many games of this kind in my library, but this one is worth buying and you can get it for FREE.
As always, restrictions apply, but eligible Chromebook owners have until August of next year to claim and redeem this promotion in the Play Store. To find this and many more perks, head over to the Chromebook perks page via the link below. You can pick up Disney + for another three months if you have not claimed this promotion and there are many other great deals to choose from if you are eligible.
