While the ability allows you to nullify all damage in a brief window of time, any attack shatters the stone and leaves you vulnerable while it recharges. The most unique aspect of Mortal Shell is the ability to Harden yourself to avoid damage. That is, assuming you can find the required materials. Weapons can be upgraded at the several workbenches that are found in key locations, which can increase their core power and unlock powerful attacks. Weapons can work especially well in tandem with specific Shells’ abilities, but finding the combination that works best for your playstyle is an integral part of Mortal Shell. Each of these weapons has a very different combat style, ranging from the exceptional speed and versatility of the Hammer and Chisel, to the measured and powerful combos of the Smoldering Mace. There are only four main weapons in Mortal Shell, the latter three of which are found in the temples that you must discover. A better timed harden or dodge, smarter use of consumables, or more often than not, simply understanding your opponents’ patterns. Every death in Mortal Shell should be taken as a learning moment, because in every single case there is something that you could have done differently to avoid it. Much like other HARPGs, combat is a measured dance, but it is never unfair. All you have to guide you are glimpses into the instincts of these fallen champions, and a sheer will to overcome the seemingly indomitable task that lies in front of you.Īs you may have guessed, Mortal Shell is an extremely punishing game. Similarly to the story, as a player you aren’t given much direction other than the vague words of the Chained Prisoner and the intriguing Sester Genessa, a former Devout. You’re not entirely sure why you’ve come to this land, what the ominous bird-like prisoner is truly asking of you, and perhaps most importantly, if you can even leave this fanatical nightmare. Mortal Shell doesn’t offer much of its narrative up willingly, which is part of the allure of the game.
At the request of a mysterious chained prisoner, you must seek out these shrines of the Devout, which are hidden throughout the serpentine Fallgrim Outskirts. By utilizing these “Shells”, you can unlock the innate power and abilities of the deceased champions to carve your way through droves of devout zealots aimed at protecting their holy temples. In Mortal Shell you have the ability to take over the bodies of former great warriors who perished in the land of Fallgrim. Using your newfound ability to take over the bodies of fallen warriors and harden them like stone, you must set out to uncover the secrets of this mysterious land of zealots, and forge your own path through the twisted landscape. It combines brutal and rhythmic combat with several new game systems that aim to define Mortal Shell as a strong newcomer to the genre. Mortal Shell is the latest entry in the hardcore action-RPG genre, developed by the small team at Cold Symmetry composed of industry veterans. Stumbling across the body of a fallen warrior, you grasp onto it, a shred of a former life that has been taken by this cruel and unforgiving world.
