Dead Shell

Cool concept. Frequent hangs and must restart app. Incessant Ads block UI.

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

Why is the new icon some sexualized female with a gun?

Wish there was a save function. If you change phones or have to get a new one. You will lose all your progress. This includes any purchases you have done. As a free game it’s a novel experience. It has a lot of potential to be a great game though. One of the few tactical rogue strategy games out there.

I love this game

The game has great graphics and a compelling gameplay loop. You play a mercenary fighting monsters in a rogue-lite dungeon crawler. The wheels come off quickly when you have to start grinding for ammo for the weapons. Ammo is rarely found in levels requiring the player to watch long and intrusive ads for an extra clip to get them through a battle. The monetization is excessive. The rpg elements are poorly implemented and require excessive grinding (which wastes ammo which you also have to grind for). Overall I’d say give this one a pass. You will have to wait 12 hours for a supply crate to hopefully get ammo so you can play half a level (and then run out of said ammo and have to watch ads to reload so you can finish the level.)

I get to a screen where it says DeadShell<br/>Then there is a pistol on the bottom right and it won’t let me do anything to continue. It’s fun but doesn’t let me do anything else.

Está muy bueno la verdad, pero los anuncios lo matan
