Mortal Shell, Should you buy?

Mortal Shell is a souls like combat game made by a 15 man dev team. It is sold on the Epic Games Store and is available for pre-order on Steam. The game itself has high quality graphics and good fighting mechanics along with some new ones which is a great way to sell a game by adding unique mechanics.

Mortal Shell has a campaign that is about 4-5 hours long of gameplay and if you are new to souls like games it should take you 2-3 hours more. Mortal Shell is 30 dollars and personally I thought it was way too short. There were only 6-8 boss fights in the game total, and the boss fights took little to no skill except for the last boss in the game over all. The unique feature of the game though that really brought my attention was the skill to turn into stone mid battle not taking any damage. Another feature that was brought to my attention is the switching of characters. Each character has a different unique thing about them. For example one has more health while another has more stamina. SPOILERS: The shells can be seen below

This game was very well made and unique for a first game but I would recommend waiting for a sale because it is not worth 30 dollars. Instead I feel like 20-25 is a more reasonable price but I understand it was their first time creating a game so they would want what they feel like they deserve. The game is fun but it is short and way too easy. SPOILER: Though there is a secret hard mode if you want more of a challenge,
Overall rating for the game:6.5/10
Thank you for reading I hope I helped you with making up your mind on this game
If you have money to spare then you should get it. I gave it a 6.5 just because it was quite short and easy for me and I didn't have a lot of money at the time so when I beat it I was upset at the fact that it was too short. But if you want to play something new and unique I would definitely recommend. One more final thought, this game is not very lore driven and you have to find your way around so it may take you some time to figure out what to do. Have fun playing!
