MORTAL SHELL LENGTH SOFTWARE

Those shells - the bodies that you inhabit and control - act as classes. Instead, over the course of the first couple hours, you find four titular “shells.” You don’t level up, control an array of stats, nor do you choose a class. Mortal Shell is somehow an action RPG (like any soulslike game) with very few RPG elements. In Fallgrim Tower, further visions give me more clues about the locations of three more bodies in the area - other shells for my character to inhabit - and three more weapons to find. That goal is very vague, but it’s video game logic: the journey exists to justify the game more than to satisfy a story arc. I meet Sester Genessa, an enigmatic guide, who will help me with my goal of escaping this place. I find the landmarks and follow that vision to a place called Fallgrim Tower that will become my base of operations. When I reach the first branch in the path, I’m given a vision - glimpses of a goal. I start walking through a generic, hallway-like swamp that leads me forward toward … something.

When we award a game the Polygon Recommends badge, it’s because we believe the title is uniquely thought-provoking, entertaining, inventive, or fun - and worth fitting into your schedule.

In a way, it's also nice that it's short and to the point, because there isn't enough combat variety to merit an 80 (pr even 40) hour experience.Polygon Recommends is our way of endorsing our favorite games. Like I said, nowhere near Dark Souls's level, but there really are some good times to be had here if you adjust to their combat expectations. Tomb of the Martyr is a great experience with a cool boss concept waiting at the end. The game is slow and uninviting in the beginning, but it starts to take off when you reach the dungeons. Then, back off and wait for harden to regen. Depending on their attack animations, you might then have enough time left for a swing or two. You'll block their attack, and then come out of swinging when you release. start your attack animation and then harden in the middle of it. Next, confront them til they wind up an attack. If you have to fight multiples, try to maneuver them into a line so they don't flank you and you have a safe retreat route. Hardening is extremely effective, but takes a bit to learn. dodging is inferior in this game by a long shot. Most Souls players will revert instantly to dodging, but if you do that, you're gonna have a bad time. the start of the game is aggravatingly confusing, the environment in the swamp zone is hard to navigate, and the hardening mechanic has a learning curve.

But it's an impressive accomplisment for such a small studio. I had a great time with it, but it's of course nowhere near as good as the Soulsbornes. So what's your take? 2 ： Anonymous： 9 06:04 ID: hntl94x I have seen many people love it, but also some people who hated it, and I wanted to see an actual discussion about it rather than just reading reviews. The possibility of me just being bad is here, but then when I try to use dodge as a main strategy, the wacky controls makes me get got even by the minions (that actually do more damage than the bosses). Hardening (hehe) and parrying feels inconsistent and broken, i've never been very good at it but here it just feels like it doesnt work like intended 90% of the time, even harden which i guess is supposed to be big safe option doesnt work most of the time.

This game has like 4 or 5 paths from the start and all of them feel like the place you shouldnt go to yet, even though I think the intention was that all of them were supposed to be viable first choices. In DS1 you had different paths to take, some of them were clearly harder and stomped you right away by design, to steer you into the right path. For reference I managed to find 2 shells, and wandered around most of the paths laid out to me.

just doesnt work for me, and I dont know why. And despite this one being a flat out copy and paste of most of Demons/Dark Souls it.

I played every major From Software game out to this day except for Sekiro (it just wont go on sale), and I love every single one of them. I'm surprised I can't find a single post about what people thought about Mortal Shell.
