  This is a no-BS review about the cons after 6 hours. Enough other reviews mention the pros, read those if you wanna know that the game is pretty. Too many developers take inspiration from games like DS but have no idea what makes them good. This game feels like it was made by executives who watched a playthrough of DS, and not actual gamers. I know that's harsh criticism for the Devs who may be reading this. It is warranted. For reference, I have beaten every souls game including Sekiro and Bloodborne. I have ALSO played most of Nioh 1, a bunch of Nioh 2 (playing it currently), Lords of the Fallen, Salt and Sanctuary, Blasphemous, Pascals Wager, etc. This is to say that I don't think all games have to be exactly like DS to be good, which is a common rebuttal most die-hard fans of this game throw at every criticism. EDIT: This review is my opinion after a healthy amount of play. These problems aren't immediately apparent, else I would have refunded the game and not written the review. If you think my review is bad, make a review highlighting all the pros and let people decide for themselves. Also, profile is now public to prove to the crybabies that I did in fact beat the games I said lol. This game is full of bad game design that makes the game "hard" in all of the most un-fun ways. 1) The first level is large and sprawling, but most areas look the same. Most other areas seem very maze-y and aren't interesting to navigate. Very few landmarks to know where you're going. No map, which only exacerbates the issue. It's not game-breaking, but it makes traversal annoying. 2) No fast travel until later in the game or unless you grind for it. Not gonna spoil it, but this game desperately needs fast travel available form the start due to other poor design decisions, making this a huge pain point. You might be someone who dislikes fast travel and likes to explore instead; unfortunately there is literally 0 sense of exploration in this game. Nothing interesting to be found anywhere outside of main story progression. 3) Besides single-use items or items you have to find in the world or buy from secret shops, the only way to switch your character (shell) OR weapon is to run alllllll the way back to the middle of the starting area. This is so boring and wasteful. Imagine you wanted to change your weapon and armor in Dark Souls, but you had to run from the end of the Sens Fortress to the Fire link Shrine every time you wanted to change or upgrade something. That's literally what this game makes you do. If anyone tells you they enjoy that aspect of the game, they are lying and the rest of their opinion on the game should be immediately discarded. Starting the game with Fast Travel or allowing you to change weapons and armor at the "bonfire" ladies would fix the issue. EDIT: The main rebuttal seems to be "But you CAN change weapons and shells, you just gottta find the items in the world, or unlock a hidden shop then grind for the fast travel item!". Yeah, I know. That's bad game design. The simple act of changing weapons or changing characters in a game all about changing builds should not be locked behind missable/hidden items or crazy farming after you find a hidden shop.That's my whole point. 4) There are no healing items that spawn with you upon resurrection, only single use items you have to run around the world and collect. Issue: they are all on respawn timers, making the act of building up a collection of healing items really tedious. This is compounded by certain boss fights, where you MUST defeat the boss to leave the area. You may burn through your healing items and have no efficient way to gather more, other than literally standing by a mushroom for 2 mins until it respawns, rinse and repeat. EDIT: There is a trash health item you can buy a stock of, except it heals a small amount of health over 40 seconds AND removes your ability to parry or use weapon skills, gimping your combat. This game actively discourages healing, basically. Maybe you like that kind of thing. 5) Stupid progress decisions. Example, at a certain point in one of the dungeons, you are locked inside and prevented from leaving until you defeat the dungeon boss. Issue: No way to change character, weapon, or upgrade weapons without traveling back to the first area, which you are now prevented from doing. Get into this dungeon and realize you need a different character or wanna try a different weapon? Too bad. 6) Shells aren't different in any interesting ways ; It's a rearranging of stats. Choose a balanced fighter, a high stamina/low health fighter, a high health/low stamina fighter, or a guy that can parry more times than other fighters. The skill trees are mainly just passives and there's no reason to choose anyone other than the obvious best shell (stat wise). Pascals Wager does this idea much better, where the different characters all use different weapons with totally unique move sets, this is in addition to different stats. Also, the act of upgrading your shells is somewhat random since one of the two currencies you need to upgrade them is dropped randomly by enemies; this makes things like trying to farm enough to max out your shell THEN grind some more to buy the much-needed fast travel item a monumental annoyance. 7) There are a LOT of small corridors filled with LOTS of enemies. This game literally spams so many enemies at you in certain areas that you will literally get stunlocked to death in a corner if you try to run past them. I would fight them, but the enemies are generally boring and there are so many of them, you end up sprinting past them out of boredom. 8) The recharge indicator for your main defense ability (Harden) is in the bottom left of the screen. Your Resolve gauge, which basically allows you to parry a finite amount of times until it recharges again, is found in the bottom left corner but it is ALSO found on your character model. That is the proper way to do it. There needs to be a visual cue on your character model that says "Ok, you can block again". When you need to keep your eyes glued to the center of the screen, having to keep looking at an icon in the bottom corner so you know if you can block causes lots of frustrations and missed blocks. In this game, you fight boring enemies and lots of them, in same-y looking areas that mainly consists of corridors outside of the starting area. You will fight these boring enemies with boring weapons (some weapons moves are cool tbh but it doesn't fix the issue) that are generally so slow it makes DS2 look like Sonic the Hedgehog. You will use these boring weapons with boring characters that are all slight variations on the other characters with no meaningful or fun differences. You will grind for healing items on timers for no other reason than to waste your time. Out of boredom or frustration, you will want to switch between different characters and weapons, only to be put off by the idea of sprinting allll the way back to the starting area to make those changes. I could see giving this game a thumbs up with a lot of these issues still in place, but the way you can't change your weapon or character without a 3 mile run for a good portion/most of the game and the tedium of collecting healing items on a respawn timer is enough to drive even the most dedicated player mad. I'm glad there are people who enjoy the game, because there are a good handful of pros to be found within the game, but there's no point in talking about the pros when the cons smother them to the point of nonexistence. I doubt I will finish this game. If the game being pretty and having a single cool mechanic is enough to see past all the flaws, then by all means. I didn't exaggerate any of my complaints for dramatic effect. These issues will grate on you. The game starts off strong and quickly shows you how frustrating it is. That's my review. Take it or leave it.

  I want to start this review off by saying that I find it very hard to believe that some of the people who left a negative review on this game have ever played or finished a Dark Souls game. There are generally good criticisms of the game and I understand why some people have issues with it, such as performance issues, enemies turning around fast, or some of the enemies randomly appearing out of no where, but there are people who put .4 hours into the game and call a quits and refund because the enemies and the game mechanics are not exactly like Dark souls, or is too hard and unforgiving. Also there seems to be a significant amount of negative reviews on Steam because the game released first on Epic, so much so that when I opened steam to buy it I was surprised by it being "mixed", I had to actually read the reviews because I thought there was something dangerously wrong with the steam version of this game. No, just a bunch of negative reviews because the game was on epic first. I think that a lot of people should actually play the game and review it based on that, rather than wasting $30 to make a point that it shouldn't be on Epic. Either way, this game does have some flaws and they should be addressed. There are a lot of complaints about this game not being "enough like Dark Souls", going as far as to compare this games mechanics to Dark Souls. The first thing that should be addressed is that this is not a Dark Souls game, it is a souls like game created by a team of around 15 people. It is easy to tell that this game was inspired by Dark souls, however, the overall mechanics and the way it plays out is not going to be exactly like Dark Souls, and people need to keep their expectations in check for that. The first major complaint I am seeing a lot of is the fact the game is unforgiving and difficult, or the enemies are hard and do not have consistent attack movement. This is where my statement at the beginning comes from, where I do not think the people who compare this game to Dark Souls have actually played Dark Souls. You cannot walk into a Souls game or a Souls like game and expect to be able to pick up things and kick ass immediately, that is basically the whole point of the souls experience. Getting your ass kicked then ultimately kicking ass as time progresses. You cannot put less than an hour or 2 hours into this and expect to be the god of the world you just entered, people need to take time and learn this game, it is a completely new and unique experience. I dropped into this game and had a tough time at the start because it was hard getting used to the enemies. But that should be expected considering your character just started and is at the lowest they will ever be. Once you get the hang of things and the new hardening mechanic the game becomes much more manageable with its difficulty. Another complaint I am seeing is that enemies turn much faster than people are used to. I have seen about 3 reviews saying that people are used to being able to go behind an enemy and get a back stab like in Dark Souls. Unfortunately, back stabbing is not in this game, however, the criticism for enemies turning faster is warranted. I have encountered a few enemies that turn around unnaturally fast as if their character model pivoted 180 degrees without an animation for it, and if this is what everyone is experiencing all the time, then so be it the developers should slow it down. I am surprised by the amount of reviews that have this as an issue for as little as I am seeing it happen when I am playing. This is not to dismiss any of the criticism, I just find it odd as to why it has only happened to me a few times. I think most people are noticing this issue on a specific mini boss fight towards the beginning of the game since that's where I have seen a few of these reviews talk about it. In my experience I didn't bother with that mini boss till I got a new weapon and had already beaten a few bosses. I went back and was able to take him out after a couple tries. Sticking with complaints about enemies, there is an issue that I and many other players have experienced where you can be running around the map and suddenly an enemy will spawn right in front of you. Majority of the time the enemy is sitting down in my path so I can run right past it but there have been other times where they spawn in standing in your path and you have to fight them to progress. This is another issue the developers should take a look at and fix, because it can create issues when you are fighting in an area and suddenly another enemy just pops out of no where killing you. Either way, considering all of this I think Mortal Shell is a damn good game so far. I am able to overlook some of these issues I noted considering Dark souls has multiple issues of its own. 15 people were able to create this and I find that very impressive. I have had fun with my experience so far and I am excited to fully finish the game. If anything changes I will definitely update my review. Edit: After finishing the game I stand by my belief that I think this is a damn good game. I still think those issues previously mentioned can turn people off, and I do not blame them. However, in terms of the enemies rotating 180 I only experienced it a few more times after the review, but it was nothing game breaking by any means.

  Ok, I've seen a lot of mixed reviews for this and I genuinely understand why, because I have a lot of mixed feelings about it which I'll try and break down in this. I really think there's a lot to love about this game and for it to have come from a team of just 15 people is super impressive to me, however I am going to refund it because there are some glaring issues in certain elements. Pros: - This game draws on Souls as inspiration but rather than simply copy and pasting Souls mechanics, the devs put in some unique elements such as the "hardening" mechanic which acts as a timed block and I think works pretty well. - The hub in the early part of the game is really cool, providing a workbench with which you can upgrade your weapons with various materials you can find throughout the world. Not only that but here you interact with representations of different "shells" and weaponry which give you flashes of the area they can be found in. - The parry mechanic heals you on a successful riposte, I like this because it rewards good play. Worth mentioning now this will also be in the cons section; like I said mixed feelings. - The setting, worldbuilding, lore etc is really really good, I love the aesthetic and direction of this and will likely watch a playthrough of the game to learn more about it. - Respawning items! There are various healing items dotted throughout the game world that whilst limited in their capacity, do respawn on a timer, so you're never *really* going to run out. - You can pet the cat Cons: - Now I know I put the parry mechanic in the pros but I also have some gripes with it. For one it is kind of inconsistent with the timing being *extremely* tight, those of you with motor or reflex issues beware. Also it isn't very well explained that after successfully riposting an enemy you cannot do so again without use of an item that chips at your health or killing a bunch of enemies, which would be fine if it didn't render the mechanic useless in boss fights; this brings me on to my next point. - I only came across one boss fight outside of the tutorial and oh my god it was infuriating. They could turn on a dime and track you through your dodge and roll meaning you would consistently get hit by attacks. Their attacks had hit boxes that lingered for an unreasonably long time, and the worst offender is that pretty much all of their moves are 3 or more hits which carry it all the way across the arena. It also swings faster than you can recover after getting hit, meaning if you get hit by one of its attacks you're getting hit by *all* of them; when each hit deals a quarter of your health and you have extremely limited healing this becomes a serious problem. - The graphical fidelity and art style are top notch, however, with my older PC I did find myself needing to turn the graphics down to medium in order to get consistent 60fps. This on its own is fine, I'm used to this and it's the nature of games progressing, totally fine. The problem comes in that when I turned the graphics down from High to Medium, it imposed a significant fog effect that genuinely wasn't far off the fog from early Silent Hill titles; this again would be fine if it didn't seriously impair my ability to see enemies and various pick-ups around the world. - The enemy pop-in; holy f*** this was infuriating. I'd be running around minding my own business and suddenly a big enemy would just fade-in out of of nowhere and smack me for half my health before I even had time to react. tldr: Lots to like about this game but also some really glaring issues in some of its design and performance. Whilst I'm going to refund the game I would happily come back to it if the issues with it got fixed. This is honestly a really impressive game for a studio of just 15 to put out, and I'll be following them closely to see what they put out next.

  I initially found my way to this game from some negative comments I heard from a well known souls streamer, and grabbed it on sale, expecting very little from it. However, after a couple of playthroughs, I have concluded this is actually a very solid souls-like with a unique style of its own that you wont find in a Fromsoft game. Firstly, the combat - It can be a bit clunky and unintuitive, but once you become proficient with the harden ability and adapt to the flow of combat, it is a great deal of fun. Some of the weapon abilities truly made me laugh with glee in a way I never did in 200 hours of Elden Ring. For example, the hammer and chisel has a special attack where your character, with great flair, throws up the chisel and strikes it with the hammer, propelling it as a ranged weapon at your target. If it kills the enemy, it will ragdoll its model through the air and pin it to the wall, where it hilariously hangs there for your amusement. Each of the weapons has 2 such unique abilities that are a joy to use, from an AOE fire groundslam, to enchanting your weapon with ice. You can further supplement build variety by using 4 different "shells", which act to alter the playstyle as related to stamina, health, speed and a variation of unique abilities. Some shells are best suited to particular weapons, and discovering how to best use each one is a fun challenge. Yet probably the best feature of the game is the mood and atmosphere it presents, especially in the main hub area, Fallgrim. A marshy forest filled with brigands strumming their loots, frogs croaking from ponds, and a general sense of melancholy, the mood of this region alone rivals anything that Dark Souls has produced. Even after I had passed the game, i wandered aimlessly about Fallgrim for quite some time, merely enjoying the ambiance. The 3 areas that connect to Fallgrim are less impressive, but they do have their own completely different atmosphere and identity that I nevertheless enjoyed greatly. The main negative is that the game is quite short, with a normal first playthrough coming in at under 10 hours. My suggestion - throw it on your wishlish and grab it half price, it is a very solid experience that you wont regret.

  Невероятно короткая унылая попытка в Dark Souls, в которой практически все сделано хуже. Начнем с того что авторы решили поднять бабла на эксклюзивности в EGS и держали там свое творение целый год, причем еще за довольно большие деньги для СНГ, да и для всего мира, и думаете улучшили его? Ага, счазззз. За все это время они смогли родить только платное, в треть цены игры, длс, в котором ничего толком не добавили, а просто заставили бегать все по тем же локациям что и раньше, с теми же боссами, только теперь это видите ли рогалик и якобы что-то рандомно генерируется. Очень "интересно" бегать по всем тем же 4 унылым локациям (ну разве что город удался), с 4 оболочками (+1 в длс, хотя даже шкурка сама старая), с 4мя оружиями (+1,5 в длс) и с 4мя унылыми боссами. Обычно подобный контент раздают бесплатно, но тут решили дать его бесплатно только тем лошкам, которые купят эту срань в первую неделю. Исследовать локации не интересно, сражения с врагами вызывают желание выключить эту хрень и скачать Dark Souls 3 или Sekiro. Прокачка бесполезная, да и за одно прохождение не получится улучшить хоть одну оболочку полностью. Собирать лут не интересно, большинство расходников не имеют смысла, а брони и оружия, как в нормальных Souls-like тут нет. Сюжета тоже найти не удалось, точнее он тут есть, вот только тебе плевать на него, как и на местный лор. Дизайн частично сперт из той же Дарк Соулс и похожих игр, своего мало. Разве что система оболочек может понравится, но это все ширма. Онлайна нет, зачем то прицепили твитч-дропы. Будущего у игры нет, как и толковой картинки, музыки и оптимизации. Не покупать даже если будет огромная скидка. Не стоят 6-8ч того, игра вторичная чуть более чем полностью. UPD: до гениев маркетинга дошло что за подобный кусок игры просить больше 600р чушь, но длс по прежнему стоит как базовая игра, причем толком ничего не дает... Подождем, может до 300р скинут или меньше. Сам обзор менять не буду, так как по сути игра осталась все той же короткой игрой по мотивам без контента.

  As much as I like the game, I wish I refunded it simply because of all the bugs that are in the game and I mean constantly bugs out in some way. Along with the funky bad AI, takes the game from good to borderline unplayable at times. I would expect this from an early release game, don't know how the company can call this a finished game in good conscientiousness. If they ever fix at least the bugs that really affect the game play, then yeah this would be a great game.

  За пределами обыденного лежит порог, что должно переступить каждому. Смертные оболочки отчаянно жаждут узреть смысл, хоть бледный отсвет истинного предназначения (с) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2695209544 Долгое время игнорировала эту игру, так как знакомство с дорелизной версией вышло не самым удачным. Сначала она отказывалась видеть мой геймпад, а потом в принципе перестала запускаться. Поругавшись на криворуких разработчиков и богомерзкий egs, решила подождать её в стиме. И после прохождения могу с уверенностью сказать, что это приключение мне понравилось. 📝О механиках и геймплее: Геймплейно Mortal Shell похожа на "Dark Souls", так как заимствует базовые элементы этого жанра. Исследуем локации в поисках боссов, собираем лут и попутно вырезаем местное население. Но при этом игру нельзя назвать бездушным клоном, так как она добавляет в привычную формулу что-то новое. Например мне показалось необычным, что персонажу нельзя повышать характеристики. Вместо этого, он вселяется в различные оболочки (всего их 4, +1 с длс). Они отличаются количеством здоровья/выносливости и уникальными способностями, которые можно разблокировать. К примеру вор может отхиливаться от ядовитого урона, рыцарь чаще пользоваться окаменением, а танк накапливает стаки за убийства и увеличивает свой урон. Привычный блок отсутствует, на смену ему пришло то самое "окаменение". Работает оно довольно просто: С небольшим кулдауном игрок может принять форму камня и задоджить любую атаку. Применять эту способность можно даже находясь в перекате/атаке/прыжке и по желанию удерживать форму до получения урона. Парирование выступает в качестве приятного бонуса, так как в нём заложен вампиризм. Пользоваться им на удивление удобно, хоть и не всегда хочется играть в рулетку и торговать таблом. Ещё одной интересной "фишкой" является туман, который появляется после убийства сюжетных боссов. Когда после победы персонаж берёт предмет, его нужно отнести в хаб. Задача осложняется слабой видимостью и увеличенным количеством мобов, но в качестве бонуса открывается доступ к ранее закрытым сундукам. 📝О графике, музыке и оптимизации: Unreal Engine хороший движок и разработчики явно умеют им пользоваться. Локации оформлены красиво, персонажей/врагов/броню хочется рассматривать. Для любителей скриншотов есть фоторежим. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2693171224 Звуки окружения тоже на достаточно высоком уровне. А вот с музыкой вышел казус. Оказывается на болотах сидит жаба, которая при беседе с ней включает/отключает музыкальное сопровождение. Я поговорила с ней всего один раз и видимо тем самым лишилась возможности оценить этот пункт. Оптимизация хорошая, никаких лагов и багов замечено не было. Один раз улетела в затекстурье, но это скорее погрешность. 📝О боевой системе и сюжете: Собственно то, за что ценятся такие игры. Боёвка тут отличная, радует красивыми и плавными анимациями. Управлять персонажем и уклоняться от атак удобно (в последнем случае присутствует небольшой инпут-лаг, как в первой DS). Кривые хитбоксы хоть и редко, но встречаются. Видимо как дань великому Хидетаке. Очень понравилось, что в зависимости от выбранного оружия и оболочки меняются ощущения от геймплея. Каждый класс чувствуется иначе, заставляя приспосабливаться к темпу игры и выбранному оружию. Само оружие имеет как базовые атаки, так и свои ультимативные абилки (прокачиваются отдельно). Сюжет тут понятное дело загадочный, нпс общаются в иносказательной форме и на первый взгляд несут какую-то чушь. Но если вникать, то можно услышать интересную историю о падении королевства Фолгрим. Главная интрига (то, кем является протагонист) в игре тоже раскрыта. Так же мне понравилась тема с личностями оболочек и то, как персонажи воспринимают этот мир. 📝То, что не понравилось: Общая за(хyе)путанность локаций. Не считаю себя гением в навигации, но в фромовских проектах у меня редко возникали проблемы с ориентированием на местности. Тут же часто сталкивалась с ситуацией, когда не понимала куда нужно идти и где я собственно нахожусь. Больше всего проблем доставила стартовая (центральная) локация, так до конца и не разобралась в устройстве этого адского леса. Изучение и знакомство предметами. Если говорить простыми словами, то после получения расходника, герой не знает как он работает. И чтобы узнать, им нужно воспользоваться. При этом встречаются редкие (уникальные) расходники, которые могли бы помочь на боссах или те, что вредят игроку. Про золотую маску которая позволяет путешествовать между локациями узнала с wiki, попросту не захотев отдавать увесистую сумму на неизвестную eбyлдень. Странные боссы. Я не могу назвать их лёгкими (хоккеист и хрен с арбалетом заставили понервничать), но у них очень ограниченное количество атак. Если вникнуть в механики и взять удобную оболочку, проблем с ними не возникнет. Это явно не та игра, в которой вам потребуется десятки попыток на убийство босса. Тем не менее, арены, их внешний вид и стартовые заставки мне понравились. Фарм хилок. В этой игре нет ничего похожего на флягу с эстусом, персонаж лечится грибами (которые встречаются довольно редко и возобновляются через 5 минут реального времени) и шашлыками из крыс, которые можно купить у торговца по цене 100 душ тара за штуку. Этот недостаток особенно сильно ощущается на раннем этапе игры, когда игрок только вникает в механики и активно получает по шее. Длительность. Для кого-то это будет даже плюсом, так как игровой процесс не успевает надоесть. Но меня огорчило, что приключение закончилось за каких-то 13 часов. Даже с учётом того, что я полноценно исследовала локации, подобно ёжику звала лошадку в туманном лесу и целый час гипнотизировала грибы, чтобы было чем выживать в бою с первым Гришей. Итог: Несмотря на шероховатости, это отличный результат для студии из 15 человек. Игра получилась атмосферной, интересной и в меру сложной. Если вы любите жанр и игнорируете Mortal Shell исключительно из-за отрицательных отзывов, возможно вам стоит её купить и составить своё собственное мнение. Лично я очень рада, что решила дать этой игре второй шанс.

  Dark souls с элементами мерзости Не понимаю гневных отзывов по поводу этой игры, судя по всему люди ожидали от нее копию Dark Souls, но это полноценный и самостоятельный продукт. Правда мне она показалось более угнетающей, благодаря игровым запискам, музыке и общей атмосфере. В связи с анонсом выхода Mortal Shell 2 решил запостить и свой. Многие считают чересчур ее короткой, легкой,с маленькими локациями. Не могу согласиться ни с одним из этих утверждений. Здесь есть где побегать в поисках продвижения сюжета, борясь с средней сложности врагами. Последнего босса к примеру я так и не осилил, на этом забросив Mortal Shell . В целом враги разнообразные, от каких-то деревенских разбойников в лесу, голумов в пещерах, болотных жаб до огромных рыцарей, магов и нежити. Но как и в Dark Souls, достаточно привыкнуть к механике игре, вовремя бить и уворачиваться. Для прохождения нужно находить и прокачивать облики, я к примеру нашел все облики уже ближе к концу игры,а прокачать полностью успел только один. Отдельно нужно прокачивать и оружие. добавляя в нему урон, эффекты и открывая новые удары. Что касаемо локаций - они тут красивые и масштабные. По поводу звуковых и видео эффектов - в этом плане всё круто, реалистный звон от ударов метала, летящие искры, взрывы , анимации самих ударов и т.д. В общем любителям темного фентези я бы рекомендовал попробовать в нее, тем более при такой скидке в 95% , как сейчас. PS: Игру проходил 2 года назад, отзыв писал по памяти.

  Для тех, кто купил игру в день релиза по высокой цене и наиграл более 2 часов, но хочет вернуть деньги Предисловие: Сам попал в неприятное положение, поторопившись с покупкой, ради бесплатного DLC и дропов с Twitch. Спустя день после покупки зашел на страницу в магазине, чтобы почитать обзоры на игру и заметил, что игра стала стоить вдвое меньше первоначальной цены. Решил оформить Refund, но в ответ пришло автоматическое сообщение, где говорилось, что вернуть деньги можно только за игру, в которой провел не более 2 часов. А я провел уже более 4. Решил копать дальше и накопал, деньги вернули, причем очень даже оперативно. У друга было 10 часов, вернули тоже. Решение: 1. Переходим по ссылке в службу поддержки https://help.steampowered.com/ru/ 2. Выбираем пункт "Покупки" и далее операцию с Mortal Shell; 3. Тут внимание! Выбираем пункт либо "С меня взяли неверную сумму", либо "С меня взяли двойной платеж" (Это делается для того, чтобы связаться именно с человеком в службе поддержки и не получить автоматический ответ про 2 часа); 4. Далее описываете проблему на удобном вам языке (Я выражался на английском) Я писал сообщение примерно такого содержания: "Здравствуйте, купил игру Mortal Shell в день релиза по высокой цене, спустя несколько часов цена на игру снизилась вдвое и разработчики сообщили, что ошиблись с региональной ценой, прошу вернуть разницу". И приложил к сообщению ссылку на обсуждение, где разработчик извиняется перед пользователями (Это важно! После описания проблемы приложите эту ссылку https://steamcommunity.com/app/1110910/discussions/0/3038228110732566462/ ); 5. В ответ пришло письмо, в котором мне сообщили, что Поддержка Steam не может вернуть разницу или предоставить скидку на что-либо. Единственное решение - удаление игры с аккаунта и возвращение полной стоимости покупки. Собственно, что мне и нужно было. Мне же ничто не мешало после возврата купить игру снова, но уже по обновленной цене; 6. Далее после ответа Службы поддержки выбираем пункт "Нет, нужна помощь", чтобы ответить на сообщение поддержки. Тут я уже на русском ответил примерно так: Спасибо за ответ. Удалите, пожалуйста, игру Mortal Shell с моего аккаунта Steam и верните деньги на Steam кошелек. После этого деньги пришли на кошелек в течение 20 минут и я просто заново купил игру, поэтому дерзайте пока не прошло 2 недели (еще одно условие по возврату). P.S Надеюсь, что хоть кому-то я помогу вернуть свои кровные. О самой игре Не буду лукавить, знакомство с Mortal Shell у меня прошло на торрентах год тому назад и тогда она мне понравилась, с оговоркой, что это идеальный вариант "утолить жажду" перед выходом какой-либо Souls игры. Самое забавное, что тогда этой игрой был Demon Souls Remake, сейчас это Elden Ring. Перепройдя игру сейчас, а также оценив DLC, хочу дополнить, что Mortal Shell отличный выбор для тех, кто вообще не играл в Dark Souls и ей подобные или играл, но хочет расслабиться, изучая местный лор, например. Почему в Mortal Shell играть легче и это идеальный вариант для новичков в серии souls-like? Mortal Shell это инди-игра, из чего следует, что контента намного меньше, чем в любой другой игре подобного жанра. 1. Пожалуй основным минусом игры является ее продолжительность. Если вы любитель пылесосить карту и залезать в каждый угол, и у вас +- прямые рукоятки, то игры вам хватит максимум на 10 часов. 2. Врагов хватает, но мувсет их ограничивается 2 вариациями ударов. У боссов ситуация примерно такая же, соответственно это все легко запоминается и проходится (проходить босса 2 дня с 100+ смертей это не про эту игру). 3. Парирование. В игре парируется все, а если учитывать мою писанину выше, несложно догадаться, что заучить тайминги можно буквально минут за 10 + по ощущению фреймов на парирование здесь больше, чем в любом другом souls-like. 4. Маленькая кишкообразная карта с 3 ответвлениями и хабом посередине, где просто при всем желании невозможно заблудиться. 5. Много расходников, самые нужные из которых появляются в одних и тех же точках каждые 3-5 минут, т.е бесконечные. В целом считаю разработчики перемудрили с количеством расходников и механикой "знакомства", если вкратце, чем чаще используешь, тем лучше действует. Мне эта механика не понравилась еще в моё первое прохождение, когда я съел гриб "тарница" и умер от отравления и забил на этот предмет в принципе, а как потом оказалось, если сожрать его еще 9 раз, то он будет давать неуязвимость к яду, очень очевидно. 6. Имбалансная механика окаменения, являющаяся фишкой игры и убившая баланс. Окаменение - способность вашего ГГ становиться неуязвимым к следующей физ. атаке по вам и еще несколько фреймов после, как следствие, мы можем каждые секунд 10 играть агрессивно, не боясь отхватить в щи, отсюда выходит, что все битвы будут примерно такими: Ударил, окаменел, отпрыгнул, подождал, повторил сначала. 7. Отсутствие прокачки, вместо них 4 оболочки (пресеты своего рода), аля танк, ловкач и т.п. Тоже самое с оружием: есть медленное/сильное или быстрое/слабое. Отсюда получается, что можно подобрать оболочку и оружие под свой стиль игры, не боясь, что вкачаешь персонажа не так и спокойно менять оружие и оболочки в любой момент игры. Что заинтересует более опытных игроков? Прохождение игры без оболочки (бегаешь ваншотной тушкой) и, пожалуй, The Virtuous Cycle DLC. DLC это то, ради чего я рекомендую купить эту игру. Из менее полезного это +1 оболочка, которая является конструктором (можно взять с каждой оболочки по навыку). Небольшой шажок к билдостроению. К сожалению, я ее открыл перед финалом и по сути побегать в ней могу только если захочу пройти NG+. Оружие Axatana (секира и катаны) прикольная штука, для разнообразия геймплея само-то, но не имба, лишь потому что навыки оружия кривые и багованные. Навык секиры из-за багов может либо ваншотнуть толстого босса, либо сломать вам анимации персонажа, где поможет только ALT + F4. А навык катан до сих пор не понял, он то наносит много урона, убивая все на пути, то наносит 1 единицу урона. Лотерея в чистом виде. Про анимации ударов ничего плохого не скажу. И самое главное - режим рогалика. Заметен явный кивок в сторону Hades, правда до него очень сильно не дотягивает. Но! Это уже действительно выглядит как вызов. Вас закидывает в рандомное место на карте с выбранной вами оболочкой и оружием, расходников на хил нет, хил только от парирования, по ходу пробежки натыкаемся на столбы с навыками. Цель - пройти игру за 1 жизнь, параллельно качая навыки и зачищая карту. Это наверно то, что задержит большинство игроков еще часов на 10. Меня затянуло на большее количество часов из-за достижений и последующего написания руководства к ним. Пожалуй все.

  Yet another Dark Souls clone that completely misses the mark. This a very simplistic and extremely short game You have a central hub and then 3 separate areas, each with a boss. After you beat the 3 bosses, you return to the hub area and fight the final boss. If you know the maps, you can probably get it done in under 4 hours. My biggest gripe with this game is the level design, it's absolutely terrible The central hub area is a swampy forest, but it's very convoluted, like a maze; also, everything looks the same, so you will get lost a lot. The 3 separate areas are for the most part linear, so they don't suffer from the same issue. Although, in one area, you have to traverse it by using some teleporters, and you have to remember the order in which to use them, because they send you to different parts of the area, and these parts are, again, quite maze-like. The final boss is terrible It has a ton of health, it spawns aggressive adds during the fight and, once per battle, it consumes said adds to regain health. The game really shows its AA origin, and not in a good way - They misspelled one of the achievements, ffs (after you beat a boss called The First Martyr, you get an achievement "Martyr'd the Matyr". - Also, it's like the game tries to be obnoxious. After you die, you respawn in front of a Sester (the level-up NPC, kind of like a firekeeper), and she always has a dialog line. This gets really annoying after dying to the boss a few times, like "there's no need to remind me that I'm bad at this game". I turned the dialog volume slider to 0 because of this. I'm sure the voice acting in this game is amazing, but I'm never going to find out. - The DLC is the exact same game, but now in roguelite form. I haven't bought it, because it sounds terrible. Also, as with other games, the DLC achievements appear in the achievement list even if you don't own the DLC (not sure if this is a Steam limitation, though), which I hate. - There's plenty more of these little quirks, but this review is getting quite long already. The story is... there, I guess You are a Foundling, some sort of alien creature, and you can inhabit Shells, armors of fallen warriors. However, nothing is really explained. - Each Shell has its own unique skill tree, and each unlocked skill also unlocks a bit of lore about the warrior that inhabited it previously. It's an interesting concept, but the problem is that some skills are quite uninteresting/bad or too expensive, so you won't probably get the whole story. - You do find some monoliths with notes around the world. In addition, there are some hidden notes that only appear when you hit certain walls and that reveals the true history of the world, but, without a guide, good luck finding those. To be fair, it does some things well, or, at least, differently + The hardening mechanic is interesting. Basically, you can harden your shell, which makes you invulnerable to all damage. You can remain hardened indefinitely, until you let go of the button or are hit by an attack. This ability has a relatively short cooldown. The fun thing is that you can do this at almost any time: while attacking, while healing, while dodging etc. While you are hardened, any effect you are under continues, e.g. your stamina replenishes, you continue to regen health if you used a healing item etc. There are also consumables that give boosts if you are hit while hardened. So, there are quite a lot of gameplay elements and combinations possible. + If you take lethal damage, you are instead ejected from your shell and have to get back to it. Thus you kind of have an extra life. If you are hit even once in your shell-less form, you die. There is a (rare) consumable that gives the extra life; there is also a skill that gives the extra life after you kill a certain amount of enemies, though it's quite expensive. + Visually, the game doesn't look bad, it's quite gritty and has this depressing vibe to it. The separate areas are all different to each other and visually distinct: one is fire/lava, one is ice and the last one is obsidian/rocks. The bosses are also related to these elements, both visually and with their attacks. All in all, I recommend avoiding this game, or at least getting it on a deep discount.

  As far as game play, the game is fluid and has decent graphics. There is no real incentive to fight everything on the way through the dungeons, as there is no consequence to just running by them. I enjoyed the boss fights at first, but the pace of the bosses don't change. You have to fight each boss twice, just to have the same move set over and over. They could have accomplished the same objective by giving the bosses double the health. There are only 4 bosses in the base game, which made the game feel really short. I also didn't feel the need to go looking through the dungeons to find anything. There is nothing off the beaten path that is needed to beat the game. After opening several chest that were out of the way of the main path, I realized there was no need to waste my time. All in all, the game was way to easy to be considered souls-like. I enjoyed playing through the game once, but there is no desire to replay the game. Unlike the souls games that this title plays off of, you don't have the ability to level up your character and put stats where you want. This forces you to play with prestated characters, that don't change throughout the game. I'm disappointed, the game looked good through the trailer. what they have so far, in my opinion, was not worth paying full price for. Wait for the game to go on sale, if you are set on playing.

  ✅ Dark and gritty atmosphere ✅ Souls-like gameplay ✅ Great graphics ✅ 'Harden' ability was really an innovative design ✅ You can play music with your flute (there's even an achievement for it. It's a pretty cool addition to the game) ❌ Enemy placement is just horrible. You'll be swarming in enemies occasionally. This makes the game extremely difficult. A souls-like game should NOT have this kind of stupid design ❌ Too much backtracking is necessary. There's NO fast travel in the game ❌ Glimpses are NOT shared by the shells. Just why??? ❌ NO leveling up for stats. You can only unlock abilities. Most abilities are very lackluster ❌ Game does NOT explain how resolve system work. The resolve system is not good either - why does it decrease if it's not a full bar? Resolve is already hard to get ❌ There is NO reliable healing system in the game. NO replenishable healing flash. You restore only some health on parry (and even that's hard to pull off). There's some consumable in the game, but they restore very little health and you've to gather them repeatedly ❌ Can't change shells/weapons on the fly. It is possible later, but shells have very limited usage, and ability to switch weapons unlock very late in game ❌ Parrying feels difficult ❌ NO block (except for harden but it's not like a block) system in the game ❌ It's easy to get completely lost in the main forest area. Really needed a map system (or ideally fast travel) ❌ 'Eternal Narthex' (the one's with the hammer dudes) has an especially terrible map design, resting is available only at the beginning and at the end, being such a big area, it did not make any sense ❌ Farming for tars (or souls) is just painful, you get such miniscule amount from defeating enemies ❌ The range weapon is extremely expensive to use ❌ Not a very long game (~ 10 - 13 hours)

  MS is one of those games with very divisive opinions. You have people who absolutely hate it and some who love it to death. Then there is my personal worry of playing a Souls like game. I’ve completed two 2D ones (I’m not sure if they count) and tried a bunch of 3D demos. I haven’t really gotten into a proper (3D) one. The difficulty of Souls games along with the demo of Lies of P always intimidated me. 35 hours later, I’ve 100% completed the main game including the achievements. I’ve come to the conclusion that MS is a very misunderstood game for various reasons. One of them is the game itself giving a very bad first impression. I felt it myself and I was doubting my purchase initially. The game just kind of throws you in its world with very little handholding or any basic info with how things work or which direction to head towards. The main hub world has many branching paths to the point that you can easily get lost. The game has no map whatsoever, so this is made worse. It’s scary to explore for a bit since, at first, it seemed like there weren’t enough means to heal yourself. And one of the means is coupled with a parry that appears to be very tricky. Then there is the confusing save system where you’re not sure how it works exactly and where you can save at all. After you figure that part out, you start to get worried about respawning enemies just for saving every single time. So those were the early impressions. I’ve noticed that you can pick up mushrooms to heal and they respawn in the same spots you found them. So you can farm them and collect plenty. The parry system is actually easier than it appears and an important element of that is not explained in the game. The normal parry has a very short parry window without riposte. But with riposte, parrying becomes far more forgiving. I read about it randomly on the internet and it made a difference to my play style. The game appears to auto-save often and it saves when you exit the game too. The game just doesn’t mention this anywhere. The enemies don’t respawn as long as you don’t take a sip from a Sester or don’t go to one of the 3 dungeons (the transition from the hub to the dungeons). As for the hub world, it will feel like second home after a while. The lack of maps seems to be intentional and it works with this game if you try to remember your steps and focus on exploration instead of trying to find your next target at the beginning. But if you still don’t want that, the community comes through with sharing maps online and giving other helpful advice. This is one of the game’s biggest faults or strengths depending on where you land. Some people love to figure things out for themselves but for others it feels like work. I fall a bit in the middle and I’m willing to put the effort. Even with all of this in mind, the game could have been clearer about a couple of things. The order of dungeons does matter in terms of challenge even if you’re free to play them in any order you wish. The story seems a bit gibberish to me. While the little voice acting we have is good, I don’t like the style of story delivery here. But luckily it’s not important for this game imo. I’ve also encountered a couple of minor bugs, mainly visual bugs and the enemies (from the third dungeon) like to throw themselves in a death pit on the way back (when you have the gland). Oh, and I didn’t like the 2 achievements where you basically have to finish the game without getting hit. You can save but there is a lot of trial and error involved. What you get in return is a very addictive game after you figure it out. The sense of exploration and going through the unknown in every facet is just great. You can even see this with the items where you are encouraged to try them out before you know what they do and you will get better effects once you become familiar with them. Using harden is genuinely fresh and fun. The parry system has a rewarding feeling to it in terms of assessing the risk involved and what you get out of it. The game doesn’t have a lot of content, it’s one of the negatives by the community but it’s a positive to me. It makes the game very approachable and easier to complete for ones with a backlog. Also, I’m never a fan of games giving you too much of everything but not using even half of it. The amount of weapons, riposte effects, items, shells and dungeons is perfect for me. The game looks gorgeous and atmospheric. I like the UI and the game’s style in general. I’ve also read that Souls fans are harsher on MS because it’s not exactly like Souls games but this doesn’t apply to me obviously. I bought the game with the DLC* on sale with 90% off. This is a great price and 1000% worth it if you like what the game is going for. It’s better to give the game a try (with refund policy) instead of blindly accepting the popular opinion online. *I’ve started the DLC today and a proper review will follow once I’m done with it.

Стоит апнуть на 2-3 уровня любое оружие и становится сильно проще -После апа оружия на максимум все мини боссы убиваются с 1 трая, основные боссы убиваются за 1-5 -Чудовищно кривой баланс сложности и сатамины. Что боссы, что рядовые мобы сносят +\- одинаково и жизней и сатамины, а по сути боссы отличаются только уровнем живучки. Подошёл, ударил, отошёл. Приметивненько

  I see why this was ~90% discounted; The combat system has some interesting ideas but boy get ready to run around aimlessly trying to figure out where to go and what to do next. This game seems to be made with YouTube content creators in mind as it requires you to look up stuff. I did an area where i killed a boss "Tarsus" and couldn't figure out where to go afterwards. When i looked it up, i needed to back track through the ENTIRE map to the exit then to the hub world (all mobs re spawned btw). There is no bonfire or fast travel mechanic in this game until you finish maxing out your character's skill tree (going to take most of the game from the rate you get the needed currencies - yes more than 1) then you can buy an item that allows for it apparently. You need to invest in skills you don't WANT or NEED just so you can get this item, ridiculous. The itemization is basically 4 weapons (2 great swords, 1 mace, and , a 1 handed hammer), each with 2 main upgrades then a bunch of +1 damage upgrades to level 10. Its serviceable. There are 4 classes in the game but everyone starts with the same one and you need to find the others around the world to unlock them (same for weapons btw). I suggest looking up a video for this before you play so can start with the ones you want as the upgrade costs are such that you won't have enough to fully upgrade multiple classes and weapons. Get it while on sale if you are curious, not worth the full price or grief IMO.
