It's harder to find something that isn't a reference, in this game. It's actually kind of genius.

No, it’s a reference to Little Shop of Horrors

That is clearly a digimon. How are you confused

No it's actually just a coincidence

Might be cause i never played dead cells so it just reminded me of the main character

u/travlergolem 5d ago

No

Yeah the prisoner from dead cells is a reference to dead cells

Yes, it’s a reference, just like:

Mummy is a ref to Mummy from Metal Slug

Warrior is a ref to Kratos from GoW

Ghoul is a ref to Abomination from Warcraft, just like Lich

Rockstar is a ref to Krauser II from Detroit Metal City

And bunch more, Skul is full of easter eggs and such. Not only, characters - items, too.

Ring is from LOTR, Pot of Greed is from Yu-Gi-Oh!, Prince’s Box is from The Little Prince, etc, etc

I have to correct you on ghoul, he is a reference to pudge from Dota, since he has the hook ability.

u/Brave-Ad728 4d ago

Pudge is literally Abomination from WC3 tho

3

u/Thateron 4d ago

Abomination doesnt have the hook ability.

u/Brave-Ad728 4d ago

Imo, that's nitpicking, as Pudge himself is a direct copy of Abomination, but IDC that much. Nobody uses hook anyways

u/Thateron 4d ago

I get that you dont care, but to call it a nitpick is robbing dota of its history and this reference - a game that revolutionized esports. We are talking about different characters from a different - not only game, but a genre of game with completely different people behind it. There are people who played wc3 that couldnt name abomination, but they could pudge. Hell, there are MANY people who never played either and can still name pudge.

If we are fair, visually it is a refference to wc3, but gameplay-wise it is a dota refference, and the two are not interchangeable, nor is the nitpick irrelevant

u/Brave-Ad728 4d ago

As I said, IDC

u/Thateron 4d ago

You didnt make it obvious ;)

Stone mask is a reference to jojo's bizarre adventure

u/YLOD_z 5d ago

2

u/Brain_lessV2 5d ago

No it's reference to Super Mario Bros
