Game is sick as hell. Don't even question it just buy it3 found this helpful
Nice game!1 found this helpful
I got all the achievements in my playtime, well worth the time and it never felt like a slog like some other 100%s. Most of the achievements are tied to unlocks so going out of your way to get them is worth it. Enjoyable game with plenty of content and it's worth the price.1 found this helpful
An awesome Survivors type game. Feels like a game you used to play when you were younger, only to come back to as an adult and have a great time reminiscing about the late nights in your room, playing it in the dark. Sentimental BS aside, it was a lot of fun to play through. It was rarely unfair in the defeats I suffered, and the sense of progression from beginning to end was solid. It was an absolute joy to 100% the achievements for, and I hope for more Vital Shell in the future!1 found this helpful

An excellent Sega Saturn/PS1-era survivors game that has plenty of charm, replayability, and style. One of my favorites to play on my Deck, as well as a traditional PC. Huge props to the dev for having a specific vision and nailing it. Grab the demo, if you're unsure, and don't forget the Add to Cart button is just below it. You'll be back soon to click it.
