We gotta prep for 2 so this thread is for figuring out if 1 is good.

It was, and im not baiting i mean this sincerely, the biggest piece of shit i bought in the past decade.
Imagine if some retard in a basement decided to make his first game a dark souls clone on his own. Thats what it feels like. I sold my copy for 5 bucks and still ended up feeling bad for the fucker i sold it to

It was ok not very well thought out in any regard I do hope the sequel is better

>>713309429 (OP)
Game sucks. Looks kinda nice, but the combat feels bad, the special harden block mechanic is boring and dumb, and the world design is incoherent. I regret spending 10 hours with it.

>>713309429 (OP)
We figured that out years ago, it's shit.

I enjoy this kind of jank same as hell point

>>713312298
Hellpoint was a good game with low production values, Mortal Shell was a terrible game with high production values. Complete opposites.

>>713312358
Just makes it funnier really

i wonder if i should try this or bleak faith
both look like kusoge unreal trash but with soul

>>713312458
Bleak Faith is significantly better since it actually has soul under the jank. Mortal Shell is soulless.

>>713309429 (OP)
I like the greatsword
>>713311737
I thought the combat was mostly fine, but the world and environment felt unfinished

>>713309429 (OP)
How many times are u gonna make this thread, mr dev

Mortal Shell 1 sucked in every way apart from designs and vibe.

Its not good, and it will never be considered good. Move on. It was more like a tech demo with first-draft gameplay than a finished product. Ure aping Souls games but somehow you managed to miss some of the most important aspects of them lol

That reminds me, i was meant to check out Bleak Faith again since on release it was a buggy piece of shit but it had some definite good bones under all the jankyness. Hopefully its tidied up a bit now

I played it on release and was impressed by how bad it was. Retards don't know how to design a level at all.

>>713312987
It is, I tried it at release and it was barely playable, gave it another go a couple months ago and it was actually decent. I think they downgraded the graphics somewhat to make it not run like shit though.

This

I honestly was baffled by how bad the first area was in MS, you actually need to go out of your way to design all of it to look the same with no recognizable landmarks

>>713309429 (OP)
I played this game to completion only because the animations for the starter bastard sword were so rad. Heavy metal dark souls is a dope concept but the game is clearly unfinished even when its barely 10 hours long and the difficulty swings from ball crushing to cake walk the minute you start finding weapon upgrades. The only boss that managed to kill me was the mini boss outside not-firelink shrine

>>713313258
The crazy part is when you get to the actual levels that swamp is a hub for and find out there isn't level design at all in them, just straight ass lines or a giant open void that looked like it was made out of Halo's Forge mode by a first timer

>>713313258
Who needs landmarks when you have volumetric fog you can shit all over everything?

>>713309429 (OP)
There's an enhanced edition now?

Anyway, I beat the original game a couple years ago. It was okay. I hated the overworld (especially in the fog) because it's so nondescript, IMO.
The "dungeon" areas were fine. Combat was okay. I'd probably rate it 7/10 or 6/10. The concept/art/setting were better than playing the actual game. The fact that it's short is probably the only reason I finished it (took me ~10h I think).
Depending on how 2 looks, I might check it out. I feel like there's a lot of potential in the game, it just wasn't realized at all in 1.

>you actually need to go out of your way to design all of it to look the same with no recognizable landmarks
I'm glad I'm not just crazy, lol
I normally have a bad sense of direction, so I thought it might have just been me. But the first time I dealt with the fog, it probably took me 20 minutes just to get back to the hub area.

>>713313258
You forget the best part

>its all populated by the same 2-3 enemies repeated everywhere so you cant even navigate by enemy placement

>>713314676
Don't forget
>Killing a boss populates it with gremlins that grab attack you from 15 feet away

>>713310314
I played a bit of the game but I thought it was pretty fun. I might pick this game up for the right price.

>>713312146
why are they fighting in poop water instead of something resembling level design
