About this game

9 \ 10 "If you enjoy dark sci-fi themes and like a challenging RPG with some roguelike elements, then look no further than Dead Shell.” / Christine Chan, appadvice.com

Dead Shell is an addictive pixel style RPG with roguelike elements and clicker games. Here, you have to shoot your way out of hordes of monsters, traveling through unique and randomly generated labyrinths, get loot and upgrade mercenaries and weapons.

Blaster-wielding mercenaries vs beasts from the labyrinth: who will win? You're commanding a die-hard assault squad. Destination: Plutonia, a settlement on a Doom-4 class planet. Shuttle cargo: a range of lethal weapons, from axes and chainsaws to blasters and BFGs. Anything might come in handy in Plutonia, the Federation's most remote colony.

Scientists, miners, guards – all sorts of civilian personnel worked there until recently. A week ago, the Center received a mayday signal from the settlement. Demonic roars and screams of terror filled the comm channel, and then it fell dead silent.

It's time to descend into the infernal abyss and show the demons who's the boss here. Fight your way through all the circles of hell to reach the very bottom. Look cosmic evil in the face and emerge victorious.

Game Features:

- Random level generation: everything from locations and monsters to loot is generated during the game. Every time a new dungeon!
- Infernal menagerie: hordes of alien diabolical creatures that are eager to kill you in a special sophisticated way. Get experience points for every creature you kill!

- Elite mercenaries: each has unique skills, prefers a certain type of weapon. Raise the rank of characters and create an invincible squad!

Ratings and reviews

Been playing off an on since 2017, had a review before about the forced ads. I bought the no ads because i genuinely remember enjoying this game despite the obvious stuff like ammo having to be rationed. Even though i bought the "no ads" i still got ads when clicking through the timer for my ship to return. As someone who loved this game here are some changes; Make the no ad feature actually work as said. Make getting ammo give slightly more. Make it easier to level low level heros at high lvl.

Really shallow money grab. No real strategy, and you get to a point quickly where you just don't have ammo, but it's ok watch an ad (for a handful of bullets). Health running low, watch an ad. Or just start throwing money at it. Graphics are cool retro vibes and I like the music. But it's a game to attract whales and drain their accounts or make the user the worker to increase their ad revenue.

Gameplay is fun, but they do not give you enough resources for a free to play. Every mission you will watch an almost minute long ad, and if you want additional rewards, another minute ad on top of that. You will do about 2 ads per 3 minutes of gameplay for free players. Only got to mission 9 before I ran out of ammo and literally couldn't continue. That was with all the ad watching as well.
