I played Dead Cells. is this like Dead Cells?

Yes and no. So Dead Cells is one of the games I've played the most in recent years, and I like it a lot because of its tight gameplay, good tempo, nice variety, and reasonable difficulty curve.
Another game that I enjoyed a lot that kind of checks those boxes (although the difficulty kinda flattens out earlier) is Wizard of Legend. That one is top down, but with a similar idea. You have a dash, melee spell, and then a bunch of other spells with longer cooldown, and you can get new spells or upgrade them or get other item upgrades as you go along. Think Binding of Isaac but less twin stick shooter and more just top-down action in general. A lot larger variety than Dead Cells, but shorter and easier.

I see Hades as a mix of the two. Gameplay I would say is best described as high-paced Bastion. If that doesn't tell you anything, just look at a gameplay video. It's isometric but similar to what I described with Wizard of Legend. Less variety in terms of weapons/attacks, but instead they can be tweaked a lot more with passive effects, builds etc. This game borrows a bit more from deck builders like Slay the Spire, in that you usually pick your way forward between two options, and those options give you different buffs/rewards. So you very deliberately build your character each run. Ugh IDK if I'm making any sense. But I like it, maybe even more than Dead Cells, and a big reason for that is that the gameplay feels good and tight and fair. And the variety is interesting.
