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 feel the need to write this review in light of all the noobs that played the mortal shell 2 beta for free, and then played their older title and started review bombing the mechanics for not being a carbon copy OF THE

I gave this game a second chance and finally finished it but didn't enjoy much. The visuals are pretty cool, but the gameplay feels clunky. I kept hoping it would click but it never did. It's just not a fun souls game.

Usually I am the guy who wants things to slow down, this is boringly, repetitively, slow. Final boss is the most stupid unworthy design I have seen. Only positive is I learn how to battle with very little health or very

I would love to give this gama a neutral rating instead. It's not bad but it's definitely not great. Very short and easy compared to other souls like games. Beautiful aesthetics. Only the final boss can be quite

The game has several issues: 1) It's too short. Can be reasonably beaten in under 10 hours. It's not very big either, just one central area, with three dungeons attached to it, one of which is full of giant fields of
