Following a recent collaboration that saw the Prisoner arrive in BlazBlue: Entropy Effect, Dead Cells content has also now arrived in Terraria.

Arriving as part of the game’s Bigger and Boulder update, which also introduces a Palworld crossover, the collaboration adds items and weapons from the metroidvania roguelite, along with a Prisoner costume.

These items include melee weapons such as the Flint, alongside ranged options like the Barrel Launcher and the Killing Deck. Additional content includes the Ram Rune, the Wings of the Crow, and a Health Fountain.

The crossover comes full circle after Terraria content appeared in Dead Cells as part of the game’s Everyone Is Here, Vol. II update, which also included collaborations with Shovel Knight and Hotline Miami and introduced The Guide and the heavenly sword Starfury.

You can check out a trailer for the Bigger and Boulder update below:

The Best Roguelikes: great roguelites, deckbuilders, RPGs, auto-shooters, and more

Now let’s get down to business. First, let’s establish the parameters for inclusion. We can answer the question of “what is a roguelike?” by briefly telling you about the game that started this whole party.

Rogue is a turn-based RPG with procedurally-generated dungeon crawling and permadeath. The genre has exploded in a hundred different directions since then, but all of the games on this list retain one or two core features that first appeared in Rogue back in 1980. 

The best turn-based roguelikes: Caves of Qud | There are some seriously incredible turn-based roguelikes out there. Of all the modern games, these are the closest to the original Rogue. 

Great bullet heavens and auto-shooters: Vampire Survivors | There could be only one choice for this category, given how all other games are called survivors-likes for a reason! 

Awesome first-person rogues: Gunfire Reborn | We almost went with Blue Prince for this spot, but most people checking out first-person rogues probably want to wield a gun, you know?!  

Cool roguelike deckbuilders: Balatro | Sorry, Slay the Spire fans, but this poker-solitaire deckbuilder has stolen Mike’s heart and won’t give it back.

Brilliant roguelite top-down and third-person shooters: Returnal | Bit of a broad one, but with our other favourite action-roguelites featured elsewhere, we were obliged to mention Returnal here. 

Exciting roguelike platformers: Spelunky | Now, don’t get us wrong, Dead Cells is an incredible game, especially with all the DLC switched on. But when it comes to impact, you just can’t beat Spelunky.

Strategy Roguelikes: FTL Faster Than Light | Another classic roguelike that we’re still playing years after launch.

Amazing action-roguelites: Hades 2  | And finally, let’s wrap things up with our favourite of them all. There’s no beating the original Hades, although Hades 2 comes pretty close!
