Mortal Shell 2 review: A Soulslike with tempo and verve
Mortal Shell II has arrived on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, proving itself as a confident evolution of the Soulslike genre with faster combat, no stamina bar, and a distinct rhythm that sets it apart from its predecessor.
The sequel opens with a mysterious festival that quickly reveals its dark undertones, introducing players to Cold Symmetry's refined vision. By removing the stamina mechanic, the game encourages aggressive play while introducing the Resolve system, which fuels powerful abilities and sidearms based on successful melee hits.
While the original title felt like a passionate first attempt with technical limitations, Mortal Shell II overhauls its mechanics to create a more fluid action experience. The combat retains tactile weight without relying on resource management, allowing players to focus on flow and crowd control rather than waiting for cooldowns.
Developed by Cold Symmetry and published by Playstack, the game stands as a polished standalone sequel that respects its roots while carving out its own identity. It delivers a meaty, challenging experience suitable for fans of the genre and newcomers alike.
