[@JeremyComans]

Cold Symmetry seems like a team with a clear vision for what they wanted to achieve, and a good understanding of the limits of their resources. There is some jank in the gameplay, but the combat feels solid and the animation is great. Enemy variety is a bit limited, and some enemy placement feels haphazard, but they get good mileage out of their level design and encounters regardless, and each enemy itself is good. Some cutscenes feel a little unfinished, and in a couple of places I think they wanted to have cutscenes they didn't have time to make. It feels like they focused on getting the core of the game right, and made some correct decisions about things they wouldn't have time to do. It's a matching of ambition and ability that too often goes wrong with small teams trying to achieve this type of 'AAA but smaller' level of presentation.

[@scottmckenna3203]

Great review personally I loved this game. The atmosphere of the different areas really separated themselves and immersed you in cool different places. Considering the smaller team who designed and built this game I gotta say its almost unbelieveable how great a job they did. My one disagreement from you is the parrying mechanic. I might've heard you wrong but i think the sound it makes is a great indicator for letting you know when an attack you can't parry is coming. It's distinct enough so you have the time to either harden or get out of the way no matter what. Either way great review and hats off to the team who made this game I loved it.

@Toxic Potato The amount of people complaining about the fact its another launcher pales in comparison to those who dislike the fact that it is fragmenting the PC platform. And then of course those who take issue with the fact that EPIC is nearly half owned by the Chinese conglomerate Tencent. Its not that far fetched a scenario to imagine that in a few years when people have several hundred games in their EPIC library, that they must agree to new T&Cs which puts their data into questionable hands - you either agree, or lose access (Look whats happening with the Oculus store.) You may think thats hyperbole, but thats actually the watered down version, considering there is a real possibility of them harvesting your data now, ya know, like social media apps are already doing. Dont even take my word for it, just look up yourself how Instagram was caught stealing users biometrics just the other week - thats just 1 example!

[@coldshoulder14]

I’m about 2 hours in and I’m enjoying it so far. Of course those 2 hours have been spent trying to bear Hadern, and failing lol. It feels slower than Souls but that’s okay. I enjoy the hardening mechanic. I’d love to see this game succeed, and for the team to develop a polished sequel. The shells concept is fantastic, and I could see them adding weapons similar to trick weapons from Bloodborne. I hope they add more unique features to make Mortal Shell it’s own thing instead of mainly being seen as a Souls-like.

"Imagine if games could shower and...well, one never did. That'd be Mortal Shell." LOL

[@K1LLeRc0ck]

Mortal Shell looks like one of the few soulslikes that seem to get the genre right. Too many developers are hung up on the (arguably false) idea that "Souls is hard" and focus solely on extreme difficulty. In reality the majority of the appeal comes from the exploration and world building, and of course the challenges the games present. Though in spite of their reputation they're not hard just for the sake of being hard (or even actually _hard_ at all) : they're challenging but only just enough to feel immense sense of accomplishment when you overcome the obstacles presented to you.

[@yellowsaurus4895]

It's super solid. Similar enough to Dark Souls that you'll feel right at home with most of the mechanics, but different enough to retain its own identity and not get stale immediately. Not as difficult as DS either imo, but still definitely has a learning curve. I just wish it was longer tbh. But still absolutely worth 30 bucks

[@jmjoue]

For those interested, the soundtrack by Atrium Carceri is on bandcamp.

[@Kalas82]

the fact that there's no gear, loot system and no attribute-based character building is just a killer for me, everthing else looks fantastic, but those are some elements that just need to be in these games.

[@BlueEternities]

Maybe it's just me and I can't necessarily explain it except maybe the RPG elements being a bit stronger in this, or me loving high fantasy so this rubs me a bit more in the right direction, but this seems to fit what keeps me going in games like this. Dark Souls pissed me off in ways that made me stop caring about getting past a difficult section. This just seems to get the juices flowing a bit stronger than DS ever did for me.

The parry timing feels off for me as well. There are also a lot of effects in view of the enemy sometimes as well, that makes it even harder to pull off. The generous hardening time makes parrying mostly useless, sadly. What has irritated me often as well was the weird level of sound from enemies, that sounded a lot nearer than they are when they are behind you. This, in combination with weird camera behaviour when enemies are close makes me think that I am the camera, not the character. Using an item to reveal its effect also just made me Google their effects for items I have only one (or very few) of.

[@eiadtarabulsi]

Mortal Shell is a light version of Dark Souls and it's for those who aren't necessarily fans of Dark Souls. Honestly, I've never heard of Mortal Shell until now. Sure, the game has a few issues. Enemy placement is a bit odd. The sound that a parry makes could've been toned down. Also, there is a fair amount of low textures. However, despite the aforementioned problems that the game has, it's still worth picking up, especially given the $30 price point. The story is a mystery, which I really appreciate. I also like atmosphere and aesthetic. Combat is challenging and satisfying. Of course, hardening is one of the game's main standout features and it's very creative and inventive. It allows the player to perform powerful attacks, while also granting the ability to absorb enemy attacks (with the exception of grabs). It can't be spammed because it drains stamina and it also has a cool down period. Cold Symmetry have crafted a very enjoyable title that I hope to pick up once the console versions release. With that aside, thanks as always Karak for another great review. I really appreciate the hard work. Keep it up!

Rushed to Steam eh?

[@Nuxest]

@@Paxsali He meant epic games store

[@HailkidGames]

Excellent review as always, Karak!!!!

[@abyjohan200]

Vitaly Bulgarov designs really stands out tho!

[@SentientPalm]

Could you take a look at Othercide seems like a more underrated game you can bring some light to and has a pretty unique aesthetic !!

[@cubanref9670]

I beat the game and immediately started the new game plus+. I own the Dark souls trilogy, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Demons souls ps5 yet it still manages to stand out. If your a fan of Souls Borne games just buy it.

[@GalaxyCollapse]

coming out exclusively on epic pretty much means its coming out in 2021, shame. Game does look like a lot of fun though, and I dig this kind of visual style.

[@djviewpoint]

The overly glossy environments hurt my eyes ;;_;; but the combat animations are so beautiful.

[@MunkeyBeans1082]

Mortal Shell to Dark Souls is like the Grim Dawn to Diablo 2

[@samuraimalla]

The aesthetics remind me of Lord of the Fallen a bit, looks good though! Thanks for the review!

[@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter]

Ay, first 4 is pretty good.

[@lapsedilationdrive3943]

Everyone does and does not feel excited.

[@Oliver_Hallowee]

I don't know at the end of the review he sounds very pleased with his time playing this. Maybe he wasn't excited but this doesn't necessarily scream exciting game to me.

[@giftmoyo5524]

The review from the reviewerni have been hoping and patiently waiting for. Peace Karek ✌🏿
