Whereas other Souls-like games often allow you to choose a character class to start with and use points to increase character stats to further diversify your character, in this game shells act as classes and there is no way to change their stats. In this way, Mortal Shell takes a different stance on the usual character creation. Each of these shells comes with different amounts of health, stamina, resolve, movement capabilities, and specific skills that can be unlocked. Throughout your time exploring the world of Mortal Shell, players will find other shells to inhabit. There are also multiple endings to uncover, and I tip my hat to Cold Symmetry for some of the humorous endings to be found. There’s no one right way to go or a specific order you need to discover things. You can choose just about any path and can tackle any of the various areas at your leisure. The one aspect that was a boon for the plot is that it is extremely non-linear. On top of this, the game is a short one, a drastic difference from other Souls-like games. Despite all this, I was still left with little understanding of the place and time of the story. Parts of the story are revealed through unlocking shells and their skills, talking to NPCs, and finding objects or inscriptions, incentivizing players to explore. The plot of Mortal Shell is a bit vague and the world around you has few explanations for who you are and why you’re here. Although the beautiful graphics are what originally attracted me to the game, the mysterious story and the challenging encounters kept me around. With the wonderful graphics to bolster the fascinating landscapes, you’ll encounter, this is a world you won’t grow tired of looking at any time soon. From swamps to catacombs to alien ruins, some aesthetics will feel familiar but plenty will still be novel and intriguing. The world of Mortal Shell is as familiar as it is foreign. The original aspect of this game that stood out to me was the gorgeous graphics. Players must track down hidden sanctums of devout followers and slay their “gods” to collect these sacred glands. A derelict tower holds a mysterious prisoner, bound and chained, who pleads for players to collect the sacred glands and bring these items to him for a reward. Upon exploring the world, players realize they can take control of the shells of fallen warriors, imbibing their strengths and weaknesses. Awakening to a dark world where humanity is in shambles and the landscape is littered with hostile creatures, players take control of an empty vessel.
Created by the indie studio Cold Symmetry, Mortal Shell is an action-RPG that uses many of the same game mechanics as Dark Souls but brings with it a shattered, corrupted world to explore and a novel and demented story to pursue.
