Mortal Shell is a debut project of Cold Symmetry studio. This is a soulslike game, or action RPG in the style of the Ghost of Tsushima.
Mortal Shell action is set in a fantasy universe. However, this is not a colourful land of elves or dwarves, but a dark world world filled with horror, where only ruins and fragile memories remain of human civilisation. The mysterious existence known as the Dark Father does not like it. He is the one who gives orders to the main character - an empty vessel without form - to go in search of the lost shrines of the faithful, where he will have to cope with enormous challenges.
Mortal Shell uses the classic soulslike scheme. We observe the action from the third person perspective (TPP). The fight is very skillful, but there is no question of chaotic pushing buttons or joyful sword waving (or other cold weapon) like in typical slashers. Every enemy is a threat to us, and often we are forced to face several opponents at once. Good reflex is not enough to come out of these fights victoriously. It is also necessary to conduct the fight carefully and to keep a sense, so that a too hasty attack is not the last one.
What makes Mortal Shell different from other games is an unusual system of development of the character. The character we lead has no body, but instead takes control of dead warriors. Each of them during their lifetime was unique in their abilities and specialization, which we can use after taking over their bodies. As the hero deepens his understanding of a certain body, further abilities and upgrades are unlocked, making him even more dangerous in battle. We receive both a large arsenal of weapons and a large number of offensive spells.
Mortal Shell is designed for the single player adventure. There is no multiplayer here. The story campaign is non-linear in nature, giving us the freedom to choose our next goal.
Mortal Shell graphics brings to mind other soulslike games, but it is closest to the style known for From Software studio games. The graphic design is kept in a dark tone, emphasizing the gloomy and frightening character of the game world. The fights are accompanied by various visual effects of attacks and spells.

Easy Allies: 7.5 / 10 by Brad Ellis
While it may not stand at the upper echelon of the genre, Mortal Shell is still an enjoyable action-RPG thanks to distinct mechanics and a strong foundation.
COGconnected: 84 / 100 by Mark Steighner
Although as of this writing it is no longer a free , The Virtuous Cycle is probably an easy to recommend purchase for fans of the base game. The new roguelike game mode is punishing fun (if that’s your thing) and the new Shell and weapon are a welcome addition to the arsenal. If you bounced off Mortal Shell due to its difficulty, this new DLC won’t change your mind, but it’s good news for most everyone who enjoys Cold Symmetry’s homage to Dark Souls.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Fran Soto
Mortal Shell is a faithful homage to the games that came before it.
