Mortal Shell II

爽

Game is amazing, don't get me wrong. But this last boss is a janky mess to the point where you have to change your build just for this fight. I have used ONE build for the entirety of the game and now I am forced to change it for one fight. Wild. EDIT: New adaptive difficulty does not seem to work on the last boss.

This is a tough one for me. I've seen a few other reviews say the same thing I'm about to: most of the game is fine, but the final area is so terribly designed that it makes the entire game difficult to recommend. The game itself is a fairly open Souls-like and, for the most part, is decently designed. But, the more you play, the more it starts to feel like it was made by a smaller dev studio who didn't have much experience making games, which is odd because apparently they're made up of "AAA veterans", according to a quick Google search? Okay... And what I mean by that is, the methods they use to increase difficulty towards the endgame is cheap at best, and lazy at worst. Late-game bosses simply have their numbers pumped up. They don't use any techniques, moves, or abilities that make you think. They just move faster and with more frequency, on top of having their health pumped up. The final area is the worst for this. I guess the thought process was "It's the final dungeon, pump those numbers UP", because every boss in that area is a damage sponge. It's all just a bunch of wild flailing while you ineffectively wail on them. None of the bosses are cleverly designed: it's all "make them really fast and pump up the health", and I'm going on about that because the one thing I can't stand in any game is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ damage sponge. Nobody wants their immediate reaction to a boss to be "♥♥♥♥, I'm going to be here for a while". The gameplay itself is good, and the most interesting part would be the Shells themselves. There are a few decent ones, but, honestly, they're all just... meh. None of them really stand out, and not once in the entire game did I find a shell that I was excited to use. Their abilities are underwhelming and uninspired. A fire AoE; a big punch attack; shoot a bunch of stuff; another AoE. One of them stood out as being able to freeze time and punch the ♥♥♥♥ out of dudes. That was one of the more interesting ones. Most of the weapons are great, but the biggest issue is with the Tarstones you can equip onto those weapons. There's quite a few of them, but most of them can only be equipped to certain gear. This means, most of the time, you'll find a new Tarstone, inspect it, and find out it doesn't work with your favourite weapons. This happens a lot. Simply put, Mortal Shell 2 is an okay game, but very flawed. One of those games where I wish Steam had an in-between rating. If you're interested in it and can pick it up on a sale, I recommend doing that.

先说优点，玩法系统非常丰富，成长路线也足够多样——八名可操控角色各自拥有独立的技能树，加点方向差异明显，能搭配出完全不同的战斗风格。武器系统同样亮眼，16 把主副武器自由组合，再加上 70 多块余露石可供镶嵌搭配，数值层面给得相当大方，build 构筑的乐趣很足。 地图设计也很值得称道，探索内容丰富，场景画风有质感，整体氛围营造得不错。敌人的种类数量在同类游戏中也算可观，流程中不会觉得单调。 缺点方面，Boss 的打磨确实称不上优秀。不少 Boss 的技能较为单一，出招和连招衔接显得生硬，战斗过程更不像是真正的攻防博弈。我基本一路在黑夜模式下用提尔平推过去，和 Boss 之间的来回拉扯感几乎没有，这点比较可惜。 但总体来说，这仍是一款不错的游戏。丰富的系统、足量的内容和诚意满满的数值设计，足以支撑起几十个小时的游戏体验。喜欢类魂动作游戏的玩家，值得推荐。70

很好玩，比1代好玩多了。前期等级低/躯壳点数少，有点难度，不过善用弹反能轻松度过前期，到中期等级起来，躯壳加点多了，就开始变爽游了。 几乎每种小怪都做了处决动画，玩骑士处决流非常带感~不会弹反也可以玩女躯壳，有减伤还要强打断躯壳技能，还能收集样本卖钱，金币是游戏非常或缺的资源，强化武器/副武器都要金币~ 对于新手来说，前期先从右边蘑菇村开始探索，然后沿着大地图逆时针转一圈探索，是成长曲线最合理的探索路线。

Was fun, got my moneys worth! If you are finding it to easy, at the very start of the game you can grab this candle, go back to base were you first launch and turn the game to night mode. Also forgiving when it comes to reallocation of weapons, shells etc. so you can try every build
