Dead Shell・Roguelike RPG

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.

It’s basically an ad-watching app. Watch an ad to restore health, watch an ad to restore ammo, watch an ad to open an extra reward, watch an ad… The gameplay is just tapping on enemies. There’s really nothing else to it. There’s no strategy involved, at least not in the first 5-10 stages. Hard pass.

This game is terrific I’ve been playing it for years. I played it on my other phone and watched it develop into what it is today. The problems I’m having with this game are the bugs. I had my medic and sniper reset on XP when I had them at around lvl 12. Anyone who plays this game will notice how much of a credit sink that is and that the levels aren’t getting any easier with all the new monsters you’ll face as you grind. Another bug to note is when you’re clearing a level and the next tiles don’t get revealed after a fight. Soft locking your sector clear if you hadn’t already discovered the exit forcing you to wait for x amount of time for your mercenary to be revived since you “failed” the last sector.

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.)

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

Feels like a fun game hidden under ads and multiple currencies. Bullets act as a finite “energy” in case you accidentally start having fun

Because whether you defeat the monsters or not and they scatter around the base I have to use DNA to repair the cargo ship. No coins or watch ads. That’s stupid.

I understand that your team needs to make money but please make it so it is easier to get more ammunition. I find myself enjoy the game but the higher levels I get the harder it is to even play, please make the room and crate drops have ammo in them because I can’t even play no more

The resource scarcity is so bad it’s like the old doom with just the pistol. No skill can headshot things to make up for a lack of ammo. No secret room with ammo stores. Just short grinding. Even the “free ammo” dumps are ones every 6 hour or so and you have to fight entire dungeon groups. You may get 15 ~ 30 bullets for a crate. One “dungeon” will take 45 rounds. If you have money to burn find a game that isn’t this knockoff. This is a drain. A boring one at that.

There is a really fun game here but you have to wade through countless ads to get to it. Why can’t I just give you $10 and play the intended game? Everything is ad based. Want some more ammo: Watch an ad, Want to revive: Watch an ad, Want to double your rewards: Watch an ad. If you aren’t suckered into watching an ad then you are going to spend your premium currency. This game definitely features all of the problems with mobile gaming; great game that you never really get a chance to play.
