Connor Ewing

@connoerewing

I’m personally having trouble with being excited for any of Ubisoft’s upcoming titles (even Immortals, which I’ve been anticipating) given their consistent mishandling of the systemic workplace abuse/toxicity situation. Is this something you guys are feeling as well? Thanks!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Synopsis

Mortal Shell is an action RPG developed by Cold Symmetry and published by Playstack. It follows a similar formula as Dark Souls, but features stark differences that make it stand out on its own. 

In it, you play as a faceless character who can inhabit Shells.These Shells are one of its main features, which are sort of like costumes that all include their own unique abilities. There are four of them that are found throughout the world and you’ll want to experiment with all of them to find one that suits your playstyle. 

The game’s story is as ambiguous as you’d expect with it being a Soulslike, so don’t expect a narrative that will hold your hand. You’ll find some environmental storytelling here and there, but for the most part, the main focus is on the combat.

General Impressions

At this point, we should discuss our general impressions of the game, without going into too much detail. We’ll get into all that further down. 

Shells

Here, we’ll discuss the Shells, their mechanics, and our overall impressions of them. 

We’ll discuss the Harden technique, along with Shell abilities, and how the Shells work when you die. 

Combat, Bosses, and Mechanics

This portion will focus on the game’s other mechanics, like weapon usage, Resolve, combat (parrying), its controls, items, leveling up the Shells/weapons, the Tar system, and how the game feels, overall. 

We should also discuss whichever bosses stood out to us, if possible:

Exploration of the World

During this segment, we’ll discuss everything about the world, like the fog, enemies, Sesters, and the locations themselves.

We’ll also talk about which locations stood out the most and what we liked/disliked about them.

Final Thoughts

Finally, we can cover our overall thoughts about Mortal Shell at this point before we end the episode.
