About
Day of the Shell is a fast-paced tactical roguelite, where each turn is played in a single click.
The gods have brought down their wrath on humanity, and only a few remote islands remain. A lonely monster huntress has risen to challenge and appease the gods, traveling through what's left of the world.
One Click, One Turn: Tactical choices are made with a single click, making gameplay simple and dynamic while maintaining strategic depth.
Explore the Islands: Survive against monsters and collect treasures on each island to open its portal. Will you be able to reach the heart of the Islands and destroy the Shell?
Shape Your Destiny: Combine the powers of the many Warden's blessings to fight your enemies. Different variations and combinations will allow you to create a unique playstyle for each game.
Death is Part of the Adventure: With each death, you return to your home island, where you can permanently upgrade or consider your strategy for the next day.

Probé la demo de este juego, y al final lo pillé de rebajas. Es un juego disfrutable tipo XCOM pero sin ser exigente. Perfecto para jugar si no quieres demasiados retos. El aporte roguelite también hace posible su repetibilidad sin cansarte rápido de él. Lo único que puedo reseñar negativamente es que la historia es muy simple y el desarrollo algo escueto para mi gusto. Disfrutaría de un Lore más desarrollado como el pasado de los campeones de los dioses, o las historias de los mapas que recorremos.
It's pretty fun, reminded me of brawl stars mixed with XCOM. I think the bonuses are a bit too expensive and some of the relics are really weak so the RNG to beat all three worlds in a row is a bit difficult. Additionally, a build that's really good for waves is generally pretty weak for bosses. I got to the end but died from a few RNG misses and felt that I had experienced enough of the game that I probably won't complete it after all. Perhaps others will be more into it. If you're pretty good at strategy you will probably beat it pretty quickly. ~7/10- I wish it had more story : /
Tried to insist as much as I could but in the end a nice gameplay is plagued by terrible progression systems, poor variety of weapons and metaupgrades and repetitive enemies. I hate feeling like the game does not give you at least a chance to win it early on despite how good you play. In roguelikes you have to at least "trick" the player making them think they can beat the entire game with almost no upgrades. This is not the case here. At the beginning of the game you are so ridiculously weak that reaching the first boss is itself an achievement. But then you think "oh, but this is normal for a roguelike is it not, Remy?". Not when you get peanuts for metaprogression. You do not feel like you are actually progressing in this game. It feels simply like you are going for one more blue crystal farming session and thats it. Oh and may I add you are restricted to like 4 weapons the entire game? 4 guns man. I know Americans with more guns stored in their bathroom than that. I must admit that the gameplay is nice and the visuals are cute but at the end of the day there is just much better stuff out there for you to invest your money. I commend the effort for trying to make a XCOMlike Roguelike but this definitely needed more timem on Early Access. Maybe try it for yourselves on a huuuuge sale (cannot stress enough how huge it should be) but after more than 7 hours I saw enough to know this is definitely not for me.

05/2026 - In the current state, i strongly don't recommend the game. It is completly random-based, the skills progression don't show/have any sinergy, and you end up playing fully by the lucky factor. The concept is nice, but very little progression, options and the gameplay kind boring.
Small but nice
good mechanics, I'm enjoying it. The enemy difficulty jumps are a bit steep
Lots of bugs with the controller, and the controller cursor logic feels weird as well. For example, why is the cursor allowed to move to buildings or places where the player cannot move anyway? It made me lose track of my cursor multiple times. When collecting items, the character needs to stop at the item area in order to collect them. The user cannot click once to move and collect the item, then immediately click again to move to the desired destination, or the item will not be collected. The user has to wait for the first movement to finish, collect the item, and only then click another place (after all enemies are cleared) In my opinion, this does not feel like smooth UX. another bug is when i finished the level i need to exit the game since i cannot move my character at all, i need to reopen the game to solve this bug.

While the unbalanced gameplay on the second area (I guess it will be better/easier when I unlock more stuff) doesn't bother me as much as others, the random bug of the game becoming unresponsive at the middle of a mission or whenever I go back to the beginning area (after dying) is something that should have been fixed by now. Unfortunately the last update was released last year and the devs don't seem to be active on the steam forum. Since the devs have a new game announced, I doubt that they'll return to this, so....
