Sehr atmosphärischer Twin-Stick-Shooter. Ich selbst spiele kaum Horror-Games, das hier hats mir total angetan. Den Grafikstil kann man in den Trailern bewundern. Sich selbst in dieser reduzierten Welt zu bewegen, das Alleinsein in dieser mitunter verstörend wirkenden Umgebung - Geil.
I played this game on and off over the course of the last 2 years and finally decided to beat it, and holy hell it was definitely worth it. EMPTY SHELL is basically hotline Miami but with a horror and inventory management twist. If you enjoy top-down shooters you'll love this game. On my first playthrough I played on NIGHTMARE difficulty which is the hardest difficulty. Probably wasn't the best decision for a first playthrough, but I felt like since the game is a survival horror game it should be as hard as possible. NIGHTMARE was incredibly unforgiving, but strangely enough, it felt right. Sure, there were SOME levels that were making me contemplate even finishing the game due to some unlucky encounters or bad map generations, but I decided to persevere and eventually manage the beat the game. The feelings of satisfaction I felt after finishing a really difficult level felt great. I feel like if I had played on normal difficulty or below, the game would not have felt right. Basically what I'm trying to say is if you you're gonna play EMPTY SHELL, play it on at least hard difficulty for the best horror experience. Anyways, here's some nitbits about the game that I enjoy. Scavenging, finding weapons and managing your inventory feels great. It really makes you think about how you want to play around things. Do you want to keep your low damage, but consistent rifle. or do you want a high damage rocket launcher that only has 2 rockets in it? Do you want extra medkits, or do you want another gun? I know it doesn't sound very impactful, but inventory management in this game is actually pretty well-designed and I have to give the devs some credit. Some enemies are absolutely terrifying (especially on NIGHTMARE). Don't want to give any spoilers, but there is one particular enemy in the game that I despised Scissors that is incredibly fast, has a ton of health, and one shots if you don't have armor on. I hated this enemy at first, but as I kept playing, I began to always prepare for the inevitability of its appearance, so I would always save my strongest gadget, usually a turret or a drone, and proceed to mow down the buffoon on sight. Its the moments like this that made EMPTY SHELL so unique. I could go on and on about the things I loved about this game, like the computer terminals and the level designs... But I'm lazy, so you just have to take my word for it and give EMPTY SHELL a try, you won't regret it...
A hopeless host of individuals differing in their own unfortunate circumstances are united in a goal. To make their way through a tormented facility filled with imitations of life. To either end a horror beyond comprehension or to further fuel humanity's greed to explore the unknown even at a morbid cost. This games atmosphere, story and gritty graphics come together to suck you in and make you experience the tense horrific nature of the task given to the volunteers as you tread down the corridors of the island's buildings its story pulls itself from the dark and lunges at you in all its unnatural dread, painting a bloody picture of twisted curiosity. In the pursuit of uncovering what befell the island the volunteers are just another expendable resource. Loved the story behind this game, The gameplay is fun and finally beating a tough level is rewarding. Very much enjoyed playing Empty Shell and am looking forward to Empty Shell 2.
