These may not be game-breaking, but they’re not very immersive either making the A.I. There were a few occasional detection & pathing issues such as enemies standing on air near an edge/cliff, or running endlessly at two trees. Regardless, they were impressive during testing. Moving on to load times – they’re incredible! Although it is installed on an SSD so that will positively affect read times. While this never rendered the game unplayable, it may be demanding for players with older hardware. Models look sharp in 1080p, although there were occasional struggles to keep 60fps constant in locations visited later in the game such as the Eternal Narthex. Graphical stylings tend to make great use of reflective surfaces, as environments often glisten and gleam with light at the right angles. For the most part Mortal Shell is a very pretty game (playing on high). Textures don’t always look the best close up, but all things considered the reflections and shading more than make up for this. Motion Blur is an option (to be turned off), as is Film Grain (if you’re into that). These range from low, medium, and high to ultra. Then, as per usual we have textures, shadows, and other standard options. This can definitely be a problem for first-time playthroughs attempted in this mode. A small note on this topic – a lot of the text does become unreadable.
I genuinely appreciated this addition and wished more games included similar little titbits. A favorite of mine includes a frequently overlooked ‘indie mode’ which renders everything in a bit-style format. Visually speaking Mortal Shell triumphantly hosts a variety of graphical, and stylistic options.

For full transparency: this content was reviewed using a provided key. This product was reviewed on a 1050Ti 4Gb, 8GB Ram, with an i5-7300HQ. So let’s review Mortal Shell through the lens of more objective metrics such as graphical fidelity, characters/story, content/length, controls & gameplay, then finally, sound design & cinematics. Therefore ALL forms of review are opinionated, and should be taken with a grain of salt (this included). How one derives fun from a product tends to be highly subjective.
So, let’s review Mortal Shell and see what it gets right, and what it doesn’t. Being an ambitious indie take on the souls-like 3rd person RPG genre, this title aims to differentiate itself through unique mechanics and an attractive price-point. Developed by Cold Symmetry, published by Playstack Ltd and once named “ Dungeonhaven” in early development, we present: Mortal Shell.
