Mortal Shell is an action RPG. The game is souls-like in the world of medieval European fantasy with some new mechanics relatively to the souls-series.
Game Plot
In the form of a nameless hero, you need to kill several bosses and leave this terrible world with the help of the body shells left over from the great warriors. The hero has a hub at his disposal where it is possible to improve weapons, trade, learn new abilities, as well as change shells and weapons. These shells are classes of sorts. Some have a huge reserve of health but quickly fizzle out, while others have the opposite - the ability to fight for a long time but survive only a couple of hits. It all starts with the first and the most atmospheric location - the swamp. After making a couple of circles on it, you will quickly figure out where and which passage leads. Next, three more small areas await you, in each of which you will need to kill a boss.Gameplay
The core of the gameplay here is the exploration of locations, bumping into enemies who will knock you down with a couple of blows, and trying to find a way to the goal. If the character dies, you return to the beginning of the area and run to the place of death to pick up the lost currency. At the same time, opponents are also reborn, of course. A key component of Mortal Shell's gameplay is that your hero needs to use the shells of the warriors to fight enemies. There are versatile, with an average indicator of stamina and health, or a lot of health and little stamina. Each shell has its own set of abilities, for example - kill three enemies and restore stamina, plus 15% health, petrification gives determination, etc. There are four shells at your disposal that come with four weapons: two-handed and bastard swords, a fire staff, and a hammer with a nail. Leveling up is simple, find a couple of items for each gun to open up unique abilities and increase damage. Another point here is a number of interesting mechanics:- petrification, a kind of impenetrable block;
- parrying, which, depending on the gland, will restore HP or can hang a bomb on the enemy.
