It’s been a couple of months since the release of the Souls-like title, Mortal Shell. According to the developers, the community’s response to the game was amazing.
Therefore, as a way of saying thanks to all the fans, Cold Symmetry decided to release a completely free content update. The update is called Rotten Autumn and it’s available right now.
It is a mix of special items and additions. It includes ten unique shell shades, a new mini-quest centered on Gorf, and an alternative boss fight soundtrack from Rotting Christ.
Furthermore, the update adds a new photo mode, which apparently is amazing, according to the developers. You will automatically download the update the next time you log in. Mortal Shell will be coming to Steam next year.
You can watch the trailer of Mortal Shell: Rotten Autumn below.
Enjoy!
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

so what was good and bad about this game and why no one is talking about it?
1) It’s an Epic exclusive so not many people played it yet.
2) It’s good but very short. We are talking 5 hours here.
You are mistaken buddy, it’s actually longer.
Depends on a number of factors. I’ve clocked my first walkthrough at 4:55. Am a so called “Souls vet” tho.
I see, now it makes sense. Btw I just watched a video of a guy finishing the game in under 30 minutes. Take a look if you want, it’s hilarious. ?

I just picked the then OP shell (Eredrim) and after a couple of bosses later I was fighting the weird bird boi :). I had fun tho. Except maybe the confusing vortex map, but even that was quite managable. I know they actually nerfed most of the OP stuff later, so recent build should play very differently.
Will watch the speedrun, those are hilarious often.
Yeah it’s 10 to 12 hours for a first playthrough for most normal gamers. But as usual people like to boast and act superior.
A lot of time spent in Souls like games is kind of filler, since people die a lot in these games.
It IS good, very good actually. No we are not taking five hours unless you consider running through a game with god mode on ‘playing.’ More like 10 minimum for us normal folks.
Do you work for the devs?
Ahhh the good old: ‘I don’t agree with you SO YOU MUST WORK FOR THE DEVS.’ Always the sign of a brilliant mind.
Why do you think dude? Did your account got hacked or something. It’s an epic exclusive homie. How many epic exclusives do you hear people ranting and raving about. look at what happened to Metro Exodus… That game was dead in the ater. but thy don’t care they got paid.
A lot of them, actually, snowflake city.
Metro Exodus was the best in the series, i also liked Outer Wilds. Mortal Shell is mediocre to decent depending on your mood.
Not on here but it does have a good following elsewhere. Most of the guys on here are Steam fanboys.
Short, no replayability – 3 linear levels and 1 main hub level. Levels 2 and 3 are pure garbage and become a completely different game in a bad way.
The good things? It’s free on bay. Can’t expect more from generic UE4 “AAA veteran” devs.
Why are you lying through your teeth about the game? You sound like a trump voter. Did the mortal shell devs do something to upset the trump sheep? Its very good as anyone who has actually played the game would tell you. The flood of weird negative comment reminds me of the recent thing with TLOU 2, which makes no sense.
Honestly your comments on this thread make you sound like a shill. I played the game half way, the graphics are good, exploration is decent but the game is quite limited.
“he flood of weird negative comment reminds me of the recent thing with TLOU 2, which makes no sense.”
Never played TLOU games, but it is quite clear that the devs went out of their way to make the game be divisive and thus generate a negative reception.
I will try to survive the blistering criticism sent my way from a total stranger. With luck, I will be able to go on with my life. Accidently, your last sentence makes YOU sound like a shill. Patato, potato.
“and why no one is talking about it?”
Depends what “no one” means, you will hear lots of people talk about Among Us, Fall Guys, Fortnite, etc.
Love this band.
This game svcks!
I mean, there’s nothing there besides going around killing things repeatedly.
You can put a monkey to play this and he will finish it.
I guess you just proved you own point, tinkerbell. Also, Stub Born review of super mario: ‘It sucks! There’s nothing to do besides going around jumping repeatedly.’
Agreed!
That’s a game for kids and ret4rds who can’t learn how to properly play games.
2 buttons is all you need.
I don’t think this game is great or anything, but criticizing a game for being repetitive is such a lazy criticism, every game is repetitive when you strip it down to the essential.
Criticizing my lazy criticism, even though you have almost the same opinion, makes you a what then?
Better articulated, and we don’t have “almost” the same opinion.
Fvck off then!
They did for the bosses in this update.
They can f*ck off
No YOU can f*ck off. Cheers!
I played the beta and I thought is was really promising but I had not interest in buy on Epic and resolved to wait launch on Steam. The time has passed and more and more I lose interest. Probably will not even buy anymore.
