Mortal Shell: The Virtuous Cycle Critic Reviews

Although as of this writing it is no longer a free download, The Virtuous Cycle is probably an easy to recommend purchase for fans of the base game. The new roguelike game mode is punishing fun (if that’s your thing) and the new Shell and weapon are a welcome addition to the arsenal. If you bounced off Mortal Shell due to its difficulty, this new DLC won’t change your mind, but it’s good news for most everyone who enjoys Cold Symmetry’s homage to Dark Souls.

Mortal Shell’s expansion adds an enjoyable roguelike mode, a new armor and a new character class. It might not be much, but it’s enough to return to the game for a couple of fun hours.
