MULTI Mortal Shell

Mortal Shell ist ein gnadenloses und forderndes Action-Rollenspiel, das dich an den Rand des Wahnsinns treiben und deine Zähigkeit in dieser zersplitterten Welt auf die Probe stellt. Die letzten Überbleibsel der Menschheit siechen dahin und verderben, während gläubige Eiferer aus den Ruinen erscheinen. Sie werden dir keine Gnade zeigen, dein Überleben hängt also von ständiger Aufmerksamkeit, Präzision und deinen Instinkten ab. Suche nach verborgenen Heiligtümern der devoten Jünger und entdecke dein wahres Schicksal.

New Mortal Shell gameplay? Go on then. We’ve played a two hour Mortal Shell demo and are here to explain everything: combat, weapons, shell possession, exploration… you name it, we cover it in our breakdown. Mortal Shell is a love letter to Dark Souls and other soulslikes, and we think you’re going to love it.

What I'm most interested in with Mortal Shell, though, is its strange and seemingly vast world. I have no idea yet who the spirit-like player character is, or the identity and role of Sister Genessa, or what this world is supposed to be, or who lives there. I want to know more about Harros and Tiel, their histories, and their seemingly untimely deaths.

And I definitely want to know what I can do with that lute.

My time with the Mortal Shell early gameplay build was short, but surprisingly delightful once I started to crack the shell and see what was underneath. This is a game that absolutely and unabashedly knows where its inspiration came from. Yet once you get past all the usual Soulsborne things, Mortal Shell’s hardening and parry system, the unique shells and their abilities, the item use discovery, and more make it uniquely its very own beast. It very much seems that Cold Symmetry knows how to take that foundation and play around with it. If anything, I’m more excited than ever to see what the full body-skipping adventure of the pale jerky man has in store for me as we await this game’s beta on July 3, 2020 and a full launch later on.

Despite having played a fair amount of Mortal Shell, I’m still unsure where I stand with it. Mechanically, I started to think that it was doing some interesting things by the time that my demo wrapped up, but some of the surrounding systems are still leaving me with doubts. There’s a lot of promise with Mortal Shell, and Soulslike fans should keep it on their radar in the coming months. Hopefully, Cold Symmetry can end up making good on its exorbitant attempt to fill the space that Dark Souls has left behind.

All in all though, Mortal Shell left an extremely strong first impression, not because of how much it evokes the look and feel of Dark Souls, but because of how it evokes it while also feeling like something completely fresh and unique. You can check it out for yourself when the beta for Mortal Shell drops on July 3.

I could go on and on about Mortal Shell and my short experience with the preview. As small of a slice as it is, the preview was very enjoyable. I’ve beaten the full thing five times already simply because I found it to be enjoyable. This was a fantastic taste of Mortal Shell, and to find out how the game plays. As a Dark Souls veteran and fan, I highly recommend you put this game on your watch list. The combat feels great and the enemy encounters are familiar ones with fresh faces (In a good way). By that, I mean these types of enemies in Mortal Shell could fit right into a Dark Souls game. Developers Cold Symmetry is currently hitting all the right marks for this title.

You start off terrible, but then the more you play, the better you get, until you’re skilled and powerful enough to shred your enemies like they’re nothing. Mortal Shell already seems to have that feeling perfected, and I’m really excited to jump into the full game when it arrives.
