About Vital Shell
Vital Shell is a top-down arena shooter with a science-fantasy setting, a PSX-era look and an ambient jungle soundtrack. You control a mech based on a fantasy archetype and battle waves of enemies in desolate, dream-like environments.
Runs and builds
Each run takes 20 minutes to reach the level's boss. You level up as you progress through waves, choosing weapons, unique abilities and traits between waves. Socket weapons with gems to create powerful effects, and combine your choices into builds with different synergies.
Stages and mechs
The game has five stages and five mechs inspired by fantasy archetypes. Thousands of build combinations are available through the weapons, abilities, traits and gem effects.
