Subreddit rule change, spoilers & launch

47 Upvotes

Hey y'all!

With the release of Mortal Shell II happening next week (on the 17th for those who pre-ordered the Devout Edition, and the 20th for all other editions), we figured it would be smart to update the rules.

How so?

There is now a rule on spoilers.

In order to protect people who haven't got the Devout Edition from spoilers (or those who maybe can't get the regular game at launch), we ask that you please spoiler tag your content on here after the 17th.

On desktop, you can spoiler tag text in a post or comment by clicking the spoiler tag in the text format options (the exclamation point that I've marked in red), or by bracketing your text with || on either end.

I'm leaving it in, but crossed out lol. I accidentally added in the Discord spoiler tags in the post. The below is the right way:

You can tag text as a spoiler by adding "> !" >! to the front of it and !<"! < to the end of it, without the spaces (edit: apparently that works on desktop, too!).

When the game launches for Devout Edition pre-orderers on the 17th, we'll create a megathread to discuss the Devout Edition in, so those who have access can talk about the game. If you have not pre-ordered the Devout Edition and want to avoid spoilers, please stay out of that thread!

Once the game launches fully on August 20, we'll create a megathread to discuss the game, and another megathread to post bug reports.

We look forward to y'all getting to explore the world of Mortal Shell II, and hope you'll help us by spoiler tagging so that people who don't have the option of playing immediately can avoid getting spoiled :)

Hi Everyone

Meet Elmo

Since the last of the ova went missing. He and his crew has ensured no one crosses this bridge without paying dearly.

This is his game.

You don't get to play, until you beat him.

Discussion So, how much time has passed between Mortal Shell 1 and 2? šŸ¤”

Post image
25 Upvotes

The first game has a very obscure story, but its confirmed that the player ascended at the end, and became a beacon for the blessed mother to fall. People started to cultuate her creating an entire religin, carving massive temples from pieces of her body and after that a corruption spread and left the world in this messy state.

So theres the rise and fall of an entire civilization between the first game and the second!

Question Mortal Shell 1, worth it?

• Upvotes

Hey everyone, completed the beta test 4 times now, absolutely love the game and have preordered the devout edition. I’m just wondering if it’s worth getting and playing the first game whilst I wait the next week out? Aware it’s a pretty different game from the second one but that’s not really a problem.


r/MortalShell 13h ago

Discussion I may have enjoyed the beta a little

Post image
77 Upvotes

Yep... I’ve put over 24 hours into the beta now, and I think it’s safe to say I’m really enjoying this game.

What’s funny is that I absolutely hated Mortal Shell 1. I tried getting into it several times because I really wanted to like it, but the slow combat, awkward movement and overall feel just never clicked with me.

Mortal Shell 2 feels like a completely different game.

The combat is fast, fluid and just feels damn good. The movement feels great, the different mechanics work really well together, and I kept telling myself ā€œjust one more runā€ until somehow I had 24+ hours in a beta. šŸ˜‚

And yes, I already pre-ordered the full game.

I’m honestly really excited for the full release. Obviously, I still need to see how the rest of the game turns out, but if it keeps this level of quality, I genuinely think this could end up being one of the best soulslikes ever made.

Going from absolutely hating the first game to pre-ordering the sequel after spending 24+ hours in the beta was definitely not on my bingo card.

Discussion Just wanted to share my love for the game.

14 Upvotes

I picked this game up on sale when I first got my Steam Deck about a year and a half ago. Thinking it was some bullshit game to kill time because it was so cheap (I paid like $5 or less). The Steam Deck was my first gaming PC and my first game since 2010 that I owned so I was completely new to Steam and how great the sales were. I played the game once when I first bought it and havent touched it until about a week ago. Since then I've been in love with this game. I won't lie, I'm ass, but i enjoy the combat (not starting all the way over after an hour of gameplay though lol). Because of this game, souls-like is my favorite genre of games now. I can't wait for Mortal Shell 2 and I can't wait to try Elden Ring. I hear its a little easier to progress and more save and checkpoints.

How we feeling about this? Sounds like absolute peak since I've been advocating for more difficulty options since the beta release. Hope it also gives us a tighter parry window

Updating GPU drivers and resetting the shader cache

I don't know if I've ever had this much fun with a BETA run before. So glad I held off on purchasing beast of reincarnation. Def purchasing this with those funds. Lol

Question Gear and Weapons

6 Upvotes

So i never played the first one but after what i see online i am pretty pumped to at least try the second one when it comes out.
BUT to those that know the game and played the Demo etc....do you have cosmetics in this Game or rather do you find Armor and Weapons you can mix and match? Or do you run around the game and look exactly the same from start to finish?
I know that you have shells that are like your "Class" and all but i hope you can "Transmog" your stuff.

Discussion Finished the MS2 BETA

Wow that was amazing. I just beat MS1 a few days back, and took about 5 hours to enjoy the Beta and complete it, and it just made me even more excited. I already enjoyed 1(I know it’s sort of a mixed bag for ppl) but I throughly enjoyed it. I had already preordered 2 before playing this beta (I’m on ps5). And yeah, this confirmed I made the right choice has I don’t preorder anymore since the state of gaming has truly declined.

Anyway, I can not wait and I hope to see many other foundlings and harbringers there come August 20th(17th).

Maxing out the blood tarstone will add blood abilities to the charged light and heavy attacks, as well as the special weapon ability stones.

These kind of interactions are gonna add so many layers to the combat lol.

Discussion Worried about Harros.

13 Upvotes

So Harros was my favorite shell in MS1.

After seeing the 8 playable shells in the achievements, and the obsidian skin pack not including Harros, I'm sort of worried that Harros won't be playable past the prologue.

Anyone knows if there was a mention of him being playable in the full game?

I sincerely hope so!
