Shell of a King

Hella fun. RotmG x Dark Souls = peak.

Shell of a King does a great job combining bullet-hell combat with RPG exploration. The world is surprisingly memorable thanks to its strange NPCs and atmosphere even if I have only seen the dank sewers so far. Greg the Narwhal alone deserves recognition. It has some rough edges, but the creativity and gameplay loop easily carried the experience for me. Also being able to see the equipment changes on the main character is awesome.

purchased on a whim because 100% positive reviews is interesting. Didn't think i'd like it but it's VERY damn good, (i was playing Pragmata on ps5 before this got recommended) Pragmata can wait now. Game play is very soulsy (you gotta explore and figure it out as you go) and the item drops change your bullets/give you various buffs, etc. Kinda like Binding of Isaac. overall, big, BIG recommend. Also plays exceedingly well on Steamdeck right out the gate. [pls forgive the grammar, im on steamdeck and im super tired of how time consuming it is to type out a nice review XD]

Very very good game

Love <3 Hard game, ton of secret items that helped a lot with the bosses

Love the game. Worth the price and much more.

Great! I'm not normally the one to play very bullet hell-y games (except for Deltarune) but this caught my eye. It's pretty simple overall, mechanically. Shoot boolet at enemy, dodge enemy boolet, use coins gained from killing enemies to level up. There's a lot of charms to get and mess with as well. I will say, for a boss or two I found it better to leave, come back with better stuff, and then come back. Edit: After beating the game I gotta say: really great game. The combat tends to be tough but fair. The game is very very nonlinear, to the point that I beat the final boss without realizing it :P That's kinda great though, everyone will play their own way. Easy 9/10 experience overall if you don't mind the difficulty at points. I only have 1 issue: I wanna play this with a controller but there's too many keybinds ._. Also! There is a demo, and I want to mention that the demo lets you port save data to the full game.

Brilliant game in an under-represented genre: bullet-hell soulvanias. If you were a fan of minishoot adventures, this is an easy recommend. The standout feature for me was the perk system. I experimented with my loadout throughout the entire playthrough. Ton of options for customizing to preferred style of play. Bravo to the dev!

Excellent game with unique mechanics and environment design, all of the bosses have felt great so far. Would highly recommend, this is his first release so I can't wait to see what updates or new things this fella is cookin up next.

Didn't expect much from a game with 25 steam reviews, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. All the bosses were unique and interesting, exploring the map felt rewarding and the difficulty (normal) was spot on. 5/5!
