Mortal Shell II is a standalone dark fantasy action RPG developed by Cold Symmetry and published by Playstack. Players control the Harbinger, exploring a compact interconnected open world while awakening and possessing the dormant bodies of fallen warriors known as Shells.
Each Shell offers different strengths and abilities, while powerful weapons, sidearms and extensive upgrades support different builds. Combat removes the traditional stamina gauge and focuses on aggressive movement, breaking enemy posture and landing critical strikes while exploring temples, forests, icy graves and bone citadels.
