Dead Shell・Roguelike RPG 13+

I’ve played this game for about 2 years now, use it as a time waster when traveling or whatever. Art style is nice, same with the music and gameplay to. However, grinding for ammo and leveling up your characters is a BIG grind. This game deserves more content and love.

Newest review since the recent update: while I’m happy to see this game still being worked on i’m shocked with the sheer amount of ads that are forced on you whether it playing the game or just upgrading your Mercenary's. The ammo grind is even worse now and repeatedly encouraging players to buy ammo bundles which can be burned through in mere minutes is also a big pain to deal with.

Final verdict: 3 star compared to my last review since the grinding for resources is even worse than what it was before and im not going to spend 10-20 bucks just for 100 of every ammo which is gonna be gone in the next 10-15 minutes tops.

Hello! We are so grateful for your kind words and feedback. Thanks for sharing your review with the community and us. We will keep working hard!

My rating is for the game/concept itself. I played this game a ton back in 2019, and really enjoyed it. I’m not a fan of rogue likes, but the cool synth wave music, and the Doom-esque environment and characters kept me around. I “found it” again just recently, and the new content is nice to see, but man, it’s Ads-City. Everything has an ad, everything drives you to buy stuff, and it’s just too blatant, that the atmosphere is ruined by it.

I absolutely want these guys to make some good money, but I think the ad delivery could be done better, where it’s less intrusive, and even more incentivized. I’m sure some of us would pay to have a version with no ads, and just a micro transaction store, *if* the game is tuned and balanced for loot acquisition and difficulty. Making levels replayable, or ammo less scarce, or maybe more skills to help during fights (like a single stun, or dodge, or accuracy boost, etc), there are many ways to go about it, that I’m sure you guys can figure out.

I wish the devs success with this game. Hope they can flesh it out sooner than later!

We appreciate your detailed feedback and are sorry the ads affect your experience. Ads help keep the game free, but we understand your concerns. Your suggestions about reducing intrusiveness and adding features will be shared with our team. Thanks for your support and encouragement!

I love this game a lot and it’s style is great. The controls are simple and the gameplay is easy to understand. The art style is epic and very interesting. The whole game as is is very fun and enjoyable. I do have some suggestions that I think could make it much better though. Just having your avatar’s sprite moving around the room as you play would give more of a sense of location and be a bit more interesting. Also having more background pictures that are different for each room when you battle just to make it more immersive, along with images of the monsters you’re fighting and not just the tiny sprites next to their health bar. Also adding power ups and usable items like bombs or shields or maybe temporary weapon upgrades would help with making the game a little more involving so it actually takes a little strategy to play. These ideas I think are simple, but I really think they would make the game just a bit more interesting and immersive

Thank you for the review and wonderful suggestions! We are always happy to hear your new ideas and our developers take every suggestion into consideration. We hope that our future innovations will meet your expectations.
