If this all sounds great to you, you can currently pick upDead Cellsfor 20% off on all platforms. Developer Motion Twin mentions that the game has currently amassed two million sales across all platforms, so this sale is to commemorate both the new DLC and sales landmark. That’s impressive for a game jumping into an overcrowded market, butDead Cellsreally is worth it.
