Mortal Shell

Introduction

Heavy metal:

At Playstack, our first major assessment of any game is to understand its voice – essentially its tone, style and thematic hook.

However when we first assessed Mortal Shell in 2018 (back when it was a prototype called Dungeonhaven) there was no need for rigorous analysis, quite simply because Mortal Shell’s style and tone was made explicitly clear to us — its continuity of style, its refined low-magic world, its predilection for sharpened iron and the grotesque without ever over-indulging in such matters.

It was almost as if the game was demanding we surrender to what it represented.

Production Notes

Signing Mortal Shell and helping the team realise their vision has been an unforgettable journey. Bringing the game to PC, current, and next-gen consoles has allowed us to explore new possibilities and expand on our ever-evolving player base.
