About

In simpler terms, “Mortal Shell II” is a self-contained follow-up to the original game titled “Mortal Shell.” This sequel offers more intense, unrestricted combat filled with adrenaline, as well as advanced weaponry with numerous customization choices for upgrades. Additionally, it focuses on providing freedom in exploration.

In this action role-playing game, you’ll find yourself in a captivating, interconnected open world that’s both sprawling and thoughtfully condensed. This carefully crafted environment is intended to reveal its intricate labyrinthine landscapes and concealed structures, all while being mindful of the player’s time commitment.

Their Flesh Is Your Weapon

Scattered across the broken realm of Mortal Shell II lie the slumbering forms of long-forgotten fighters. Upon discovery, these Shells can be brought to life and inhabited, granting access to their inherent powers and exclusive skills.

Develop a distinctive fighting approach using the individual skills of each Shell, and reveal the mysteries hidden within their forgotten pasts by unearthing long-lost memories.

Cleanse A Ravaged World

In Mortal Shell II, a tightly knit open world is linked via winding pathways that are safeguarded by distraught and zealous guardians. Venturers are compensated with fresh narrative segments, shells (characters), formidable and bizarre weaponry, enhancements, mysteries, and additional content.

Traverse crumbling sanctuaries of old gods, journey past taboo woodlands and frozen tombs, into fortresses sculpted from bone.

Amongst these forgotten landmarks, over sixty daunting dungeons are interspersed, each presenting a tough test of your skills and equipment amassed during your journey.

Dethrone False Gods

In this role, you’re foretold as The Herald, tasked with retrieving the sacred Undermether’s stolen Eggs from the formidable beings who mercilessly protect them before they hatch.

In a simple and engaging manner, the combat system for Mortal Shell II offers quick, yet solid gameplay. It doesn’t limit players with a stamina gauge, instead allowing them to employ various strategies to break an opponent’s defense and deliver precise, critical blows.
