  • Free Game: Mortal Shell

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 28 11:06:23 2022
    Another day, another free game. Are we tired of this yet?
    Hell no! It's a free game! And today we get:

    * Mortal Shell
    https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/mortal-shell
    And what is "Mortal Shell"? It looks like a Dark Souls clone, which is
    no bad thing. Honestly, the worst that can probably be said about this
    game is how closely it hews to the 'Souls formula, in gameplay,
    visuals and tone. But if you enjoy games of that genre, that's
    probably no bad thing. Don't forget to snag the free add-on while
    claiming the game


    And the storefront shows another mystery game to come tomorrow. You
    have 24 hours to claim this one, and then we get something new...
    again! Oh, what a time to be alive. ;-)

    They all the souls-like I've tried are missing the je ne sais quo of Dark Souls,
    but I'll give it a try eventually. This one's supposed to be one of the better ones.

    Thanks for the reminders and all the free games as always!

    There is also a Free soundtrack addon for this, scroll down to get it as well!
    I have played the demo for Mortal Shell when it came out, and thought it was very decent. A gaming friend tells me to get good at using the 'Harden'
    skill to momentarily increase damage resistance, makes combat much
    easier.....
