Description

Mortal Shell is a deep action-RPG that tests your sanity and resilience in a shattered world. As the remains of humanity wither and rot, zealous foes fester in the ruins. They spare no mercy, with survival demanding superior awareness, precision and instincts. Track down hidden sanctums of devout followers and discover your true purpose.

The dead litter this tattered landscape, but not all are without hope. The lost remains of defeated warriors are yours to discover. Awaken these Mortal Shells, occupy their bodies and significantly open your understanding to diverse masteries of combat.

Your path is guarded by desperate adversaries, devoted to inscrutable gods. Behold creatures both pitiable and grotesque, but do not let fear halt your journey. Muster your courage and face them down.

Combat is strategic and deliberate. You must commit your sword only when an opportunity opens. Calculate your parries to unleash devastating counterblows. Temporarily entomb your Mortal Shell in stone to block attacks, or play aggressive and use your stone-form to add brutal weight to your own sword swings.

I would say this game is a fairly decent soulslike. It does not do anything particularly groundbreaking. However, the graphics are solid. The gameplay is competent enough. I enjoyed my playthrough. It has many of the

Mortal Shell isn't really trying to be Dark Souls, and that's a good thing. The shell-swapping concept is genuinely clever, letting you jump between different bodies that each play and feel completely distinct, almost

Mortal Shell is a pretty short game if you just look at the base game. There isn't a lot of content or enemy variety but it's still a fun 5-7 hour romp during a weekend. My biggest issues with the game is honestly that
