An interesting adventure in the world of the dead. Dead Shell－Pixel Roguelike RPG is you can take part in a real massacre, where mercenaries will confront the most terrible creatures in the labyrinth.
Who will be able to defeat whom in this confrontation, get a bunch of bonuses and feel all the best that is possible. Your main course will be a planet of a certain Doom-4 class. The settlement of Plutonia will be located here, where the most important events will take place. In this place, a cargo fell from the shuttle, where the coolest weapons are located, ranging from a simple ax to blasters. Absolutely everything can come in handy, since survival in this area is quite difficult.
Not so long ago, ordinary residents, miners, scientists, as well as various security guards worked here. A week ago, a distress signal was received from this place, and of the highest category. After a while, the communication channel itself was completely filled with the most terrible demons, and cries of incredible suffering, and then there was dead silence. It’s time for you to descend into this hell, destroy every demon and show that it will be the main thing. The most terrifying dungeons, hellish menagerie, elite mercenaries. And also all the possibilities to pump your own squad.
After almost two years of playing all of my characters except for the commando was reset to lvl 1. They used to all be between lvl 11 and 15. Now my soldiers are getting stuck because the battles don't recognize that all the aliens in a round are dead. Contacted support but no response. Its crushing considering the hundreds of hours I've put into this game.. I Played this game long time ago and I am back, it seems the game kinda mess up, monster and zombie slightly over power atk and hp some them on 471 level even others planet on low level 3 - 7. I hope you balance the game.. This is my favorite mobile game, BUT I just randomly lost all progress. I don't know what happened. I opened the app and all my mercenaries were reset to 0 XP. Several months of progress gone in an instant.. This game is totally awesome and indulgently mind blowing! Its based on and inspired by Doom! And Doom is my most beautiful thing! Especially the PSX Final Doom! This is Dead Shell! Top of the line science fiction for the thoughts and the mind!. It's.. okay, so to say. The weapons are good, I feel the lack of gold income though. The main problem im having is the ammo, we need ammo, to get more ammo. It's not even a guarantee that we'll get more than we have. Sure, the dropship is there for the free loot, but even so, it's not enough. I hope the devs add more ammo pickups or options to get ammo without paying so much money for the ammo deals/packs..
Trooper needs a skill that improves combat or survivability. Edit: almost everything is russian roulette, especially starting a battle against multiple enemies since you can't tell "what" those enemies are. Wish there was a feature to know what enemies I'm facing before choosing a weapon or at least change guns during combat. And I'm not talking about the scanner. The game now has random ads that pop up anytime if you touch anywhere on the screen. I got about 15 In 10 minutes and at that point I said, this is unplayable. I'll check back after the next update. But for now this isn't worth playing. play this if you like screen mashing, pixel monster art, offline games and endless grinding. thanks for fixing google play games save issue and removing autoplay of intro movie whenever game starts.. I like the game but for me personally it's too simple. Update: Still have the same feeling about it, as not too much as changed about it's core gameplay. I'm not bad at it, and I already realize the strategy elements, but it's still a fairly simple game. Update 2: Got back into this recently. Upgraded the "Cleanser" shotgun and now it's a worse gun, uses 2 ammo (up from one) to do barely more damage than before, which makes crits weaker as a result too. That's terrible design. One star off..
The monetization! This is one of the must scummy disgusting monetization schemes I have ever seen. At higher levels you can barely scrape by without the freemium currency and everything is so limited, that you find yourself being railroaded into buying their "timesaver" packs. No thank you. The management should be ashamed for how they ruined what could be a good game with predatory underhanded borderline scam tactics. Definitelly avoid.. Impressed with the mechanics so far. Obvious saisie d'argent , no, that makes it sound undeveloped and unsupported, and it.doesnt seem that.... obvious PTW available, but some fun play at intro, so ftp material available. It seems it will get you through a week of breaks. Can't say more than that yet. 5,322:1 odds I won't update. Will see.. I used to like this game but the most recent update has astronomically increased enemy lethality where my units feel like I'm shooting enemies with confetti. Locking the new characters behind lvl 15 requirements is incredibly stupid. It takes over TEN hours to grind ONE character from lvl 12 to 15. And transferring extra xp from lvl 15 characters at 80 DNA per million xp is an utterly ridiculously price when you can get that much xp from just a single level. Also, you can't even SEE what a new character DOES until you get the prerequisite to lvl 12, OR figure out which 2 characters don't have a new upgrade (medic is one of them)..
I used to play this a lot. I stopped for a year or two. Now (new account) the ammo is so hard to get I have to log in for days just to get enough to complete a level. The x2 rewards don't work also. This game is very over monetized. Dead shell is DEAD.. Ammo is absurdly scarce and the only reliable source is by throwing money at the game. It's an extremely predatory game that nobody should play.. I pretty much love everything about the new update, but I think it broke the game, I haven't used all new mercenaries, but at least the plasma scientist breaks my game when I beat a mission with him, forcing me to restart the game to keep playing because I can't select any mercenary to go into a mission. TLDR: if U want money, provide a fun experience as a baseline and sell full version purchase. As it is, this is not a 'game' at it's core. Rather, it is a monetization device. It is not meant to be 'fun' or to provide enjoyment. It is designed to expose you to bottlenecks to try and frustrate you to force you to pay. THAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY *NOT* FUN!! I pay for fun, NOT to bypass frustrating game bottleneck mechanics. Provide fun and I'll provide money. Bottleneck, and I uninstall..
Latest update adds a lot of ads. Upper bar distracts from game and irritates. 'Special offer' after each level played slows the flow of the game.. Most recently reduced current level of gear that remained while outright removing higher tiered gear. A pay to win that won't even let you keep your toys.. It said in the shop ads unlock with any purchase. I spent money, and I still have to watch ads. That's not cool. I wanna like the game, but way too many ads.. Itbe better if we can use everyone we have in the same dungen the fighting style is little stupid you just tap there's nothing interesting about It and not being able to heal like a health drink or anything and I mean like having it in your bag to use at anytime not waiting for a monster to drop it.
Interstitial ads... I can't believe a game this style has interstitial ads... I don't mind ads for bonuses, but I don't have unlimited data, so the interstitials are a 100% deal breaker for me. What a disappointment. Would be a very fun and well-made game except you run out of ammo super fast, and there are few ways to get ammo, which is a problem because the enemys on Blackrock a lot tougher than the basic enemys. Plus the ammo drops you get are kinda stingy. A shop where you could buy stuff with credits (gun cards, ammo, etc.) would vastly improve the game and there would be more use for your credits. A PvP mode would also be cool. Ammo fabricators, a better version of the vending machines, would be nice.. Maybe if you actually ran through hallways fighting aliens, or if your ammo restocked between missions or anything to make the gameplay interesting I'd keep it installed, but this is just trading damage numbers with no real attack options or strategy and grinding for infintismal level ups.. There needs to be more games like this! In depth, addictive, dynamic gameplay. Unfortunately now more pay to play than before..
Great! NO aggressive ads - like it (5 stars) ... That was before the updates, now there are only continuous ads instead of gameplay. DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE YEAR Answer: I understand the valuable of ads, moreover I like it, but only then I decide to watch it or not. FORSED AD makes worst impression about the games and their developers, there so many ways to add ads in appropriate manner (decrease time, double reward, etc.). I used to like it a lot. I don't think I care for the new level and quest system much but I'll give it another shot.. Game used to be a solid time waster. Recent updates make it almost impossible to advance,. Typical money hungry game makers. Probably got bought out and the new guys figured out a way to capitalize. Took a decent game and RUINED it, as usual. There's "micro" transactions EVERYWHERE. AND by micro I mean like $5 at a time. This game went from decent to TRASH in 1 patch. Good job guys =D, NOT.. Cannot play the game more than 3 minutes without watching ads or micro transactions. You want heal? Ads. You want armor? Ads. You want to level up? Ads. If you can pay 1 time to skip all ads I'm happy with it. But the game only let you pay to remove UNSKIPPABLE ADS. What a huge waste of time.
Liked it... Until I lost all my progress over years because cloud load does not work. Idk what to tell you guys. I only use one account for games, I'm logged in with that account. I have tried this on 5 different devices. If I clear my local data, it resets to the beginning instead of loading cloud data. Cloud load does not work As a note - the trophy button doesn't work any more either. Edit: tried with 3 accounts, still doesn't work. Lots of people are complaining about this.. This is a pretty decent game but I also think that this game is nothing but a money grab when you run out of resources the game pushes you to spend a lot of cash when you're low on everything I don't mind the ads sometimes so I'm ok with that but the game is still good but not a great one so I'll lower the rate at 3 stars. I used to like the reaping event. The monsters usually were weak and easier to kill and I can grind a lot of resources. But the current event i have this time, the monsters are like 5 times tougher, also i noticed the monsters health/attack stats shown are misleading(?), which was shown way lower than the actual stats. Like, monster with 200+ hp needs 3 shots from 150+ dmg weapon to die.. Just bought me a new phone and now for some reason i cant continue where i left off..i thought this game has cloud save. i cant play my previous game anymore now I have to start from scratch so now I'll have to lower my rate for this amazing fun game .
Basically pay to win. Monsters are way o.p, ammo runs out fast forcing you to either wait or buy. Crud, within 15 minutes of playing I couldn't be bothered with the timers and ads. Game looks fun, but ads ads ads, wait wait wait. This kind of game you end up watching ads and waiting for timers more than playing. I'm happy to pay for a game but not like this.. I haven't figured out how to play this game. First two times I was killed immediately. After that I didn't have any mercenaries to play. I don't know what I should do.. Game has both lost some things and gained. Lots of ads now, with a slight pay wall regarding how much exp you need to level up, it can feel rough. Items can be farmer but need a high lvl medic or scout. Also, the repair cost of ship being MORE than the reward on return makes it so you cannot scavenge ammo without paying premium DNA currency. Needs some work but worth keeping an eye on..
Pumped full of ads. They try to shove microtransactions in your face every few seconds like you're a toddler and you can watch ads for a myriad of benefits... But game's fun when you actually get to play it.. Played this game a lot in 2018 when the game was very barebones and came back to it in 2023. The overall experience feels like it has worsened with the updates. Despite having more *content* it feels like everything was added to funnel the player into paying up at every corner. J like the game it's a great game but a big money grab no way to purchase ammo and it takes many hours to get ammo to do levels and no way to get more exept through a add or cash payment put a shop. In so we can buy ammo with in-game currency instead of having to buy it with real money. The ammo economy in this game is horrible. What's the point of upgrading a gun and upgrading a character when I can only use them for maybe 3 hours max and then I have to grind with lower level characters and lower level guns for upwards of 2 weeks just to have another 3 hours of fun with my favorite character. There's not even a way to purchase more ammo, I can spend 19.99$ for basically 100 of every ammo type but that ammo will be gone in less than an hour. Fun game when I can actually play it.
Plz make a dead shell 2 really love this game and hoping for a part 2 as i wish for more adventures. I've been in and out of this game. Played it for years and I still feel this game needs a revamp or something. More interaction, costumizable stuff, maybe go full tactical rpg or something like that.. Ammunition is scarce, but not in a fun way. You can refill ammo with ads, but not every time. By the 5th mission or so, you will be hard pressed to purchase ammo with real money if you want to continue at any reasonable pace. The ammo system needs rebalancing for this game to work for me. I'd happily watch more ads or pay a small amount to double the ammo earned from ads, but I'm not interested in paying $2+ every time I want to play the game for more than 10 minutes. Best of luck to the devs.. I am enjoying the game. I really love the 80s music and feel of the game. The only thing I think would make it better would be an endless mode after you hit like level 20..
Not a bad mobile game to kill time, just annoying when you try to advance in a map and it just bugs out and the exit is now where to be found so that you'll have to quit and open the game just to find out that your mercenary is 'dead' somehow. if i would have reviewed the game a year or so ago, it would have been 5 stars. i've been playing this game since maybe 2018. it was a free game with some of the most rewarding gameplay on android devices. all rewards could be gained via grinding. over the past year or so, it has become aggressively monetized with pop-ups to click through and an increased reliance on premium in-game currency. it has adopted all of the worst things about mobile gaming. spare me the patronizing response.. Loved this game when I was younger, probably one of my favorite games from that time, thought I'd try it again and I am very disappointed. It's not even the same game anymore, I understand the developer has to make money and microtransactions are kind of expected at this point but it seems like the base gameplay was completely sacrificed for these microtransactions and that's just unexcusable. Hate to see such a good game be killed by greed.. Very fun and addictive. Fast gameplay with variety of weapons and characters. Easy to earn credits and upgrades in-game without having to pay. EDIT: Solid game for a long time, but being periodically forced to spend DNA (the rarest commodity) just to repair the supply ship knocks this down to a 3. Scarcity of supplies means the supply ship is a necessity to maintain balance. Holding resources hostage to encourage you to buy DNA hurts the playability and makes this less fun..
The game seems fairly entertaining. Good for a quick play now and then. The most annoying thing is the supply ship requiring DNA to repair. It already takes 6 hours to get a shipment and you have to fight enemies OR wait 20 minutes after the 6 hrs and requiring DNA to repair on top of the DNA requirement to send for superior cargo. You get a free crate every 3 hours so with some common sense resource management you can do ok, dont listen to all the complaints about ammo. Sure, watching ads helps. The cargo ship bug is fixed, and it states how many the cargo ship will return. However, cargo ships now have a potential to be damaged, requiring the premium currency to fix it before it can be sent out again. That ruins the game experience, requiring you to spend premium currency before sending the cargo ship out again. Damaged cargo ship should instead have a countdown timer before it is repaired (i.e. 30-60 mins), and the premium currency speeds up the repairs.. I love the game a heck lot UNTIL I encountered a fatal bug. During the "a hole within our base" event, sometimes after I cleared a stage they dont go down deeper. I had to repeat the same -10 level for 3 times before it goes down. Now, i'm stuck in a level WITHOUT EXITS even though I've cleared everything. What a waste of time. I quit, and I had to wait for another 5-10 hours to get my character back, or build another character for the hardest stage.. You run out of ammo faster than you can find it, you can't replay previous levels, you literally have to wait for your heroes to get strong enough to melee enemies and wait for them to revive as they inevitably die. These issues pop up within the first 10-15 minutes of gameplay and the only way to get more ammo is from the levels. Not even rogue games make you scrounge for arrows but apparently being shipped down to a planet from a MILITARY SHIP does not equip you with enough ammo. Greed game..
Had to reduce stars all the way. I can handle all the ads, the constant spamming of deals, the fact that monsters that are resistant to EVERYTHING is common. But when the only way you can recieve resources offline is nerfed to the point where you have to use PREMIUM currency to fix the resource ship which the cost of is WAY more than you can get in an hour. It's made this game not even worth revisiting. I am not gonna put any more into this game until this is changed.. I use to play this a lot back in the day but uninstalled it, seems I lost all my progress I had in the game now. Don't bother with this one anymore, all new changes keep making the game worse. The ship that brings resources now finds almost nothing unless you pay money or even premium currency, then there's often monsters on it that eat up your hard earned ammo and even if you fight them, the ship gets destroyed and you must spend premium currency to fix it. They totally ruined it.. Fun time killer for now. Haven't played much but I'm sure the ads harassing me and repetitive play will kill this for me eventually..
Good game, wish it was less of a cash grab. The promotional offers to earn DNA are a scam. I completed one and was not paid out and have been given the run around with customer service. The game itself is okay. Just a shame it's feeling scummy now.. That's an interesting choice I guess, paywalling the game entirely behind ammo. Funny thing is I was about to buy a weapon pack and decided i didn't appreciate that.. It's a pretty fun game, and I can assure you that you won't loose your save data that's for sure.. Game info says it saved my progress, it didn't. And i won't restart the game from 0 after clearing more than 300 levels!!!.
Progress wasn't saved after switching devices. Every phone has its own different progress. Update: All 3 phones are on native Android OS, same Google account, with Google Play Game installed, and shown Cloud Saving symbol while completing a level or something, but they actually only saved locally.. Game was fun for a long time. Logged in after awhile and found it was full of popups and forced ads. I played for about 8 minutes and was hit with 4 ads. Go away. Uninstalled.. I used to love this game but after the recent few updates, everything is just too much now. I liked the more simple gameplay and yeah some other additions would've been cool but now I can't seem to enjoy how different it feels.. This game is alrightish but the creator made it so you watch alot of adds just to play and when you don't hit any buttons for a while it takes you to some weird websites..
Fun game to spend some time on and been playing quite a long time. But I got to stop as I'm wasting the premium currency, DNA, since the last update has you now sometimes repair the ship before you can send it out to get better weapons. Was hard enough to get DNA to use to send the ship looking for the top-tier weapons, but now it takes nearly 1/5 of what I need for that in order to repair the ship. Bad enough for all the time I've been playing and am still missing 3 of the characters.. So far i've played this game a total of 24 hours, and i can say it is pretty good. I also like the bullet system, which is my opinion is out of the box thinking, really smart..
