It works in both directions, responding to what you defeat and where you die. Any adjustment also relaxes on its own over time, so the game settles back toward its standard balance once your play changes. It is off by default and can be turned on or off at any time under Game &amp;gt; Game Settings &amp;gt; Adaptive Difficulty. If you are winning, the game pushes back: Enemies gain damage, health and break resist, so they hit harder, take longer to bring down and are more difficult to stagger. This does not stop at the standard difficulty. Keep clearing encounters without dying and enemies will scale well past the toughest the game was originally built to be, and they will keep climbing for as long as you keep winning. If you are struggling, the game gives ground:Enemies weaken across t&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mortal Shell 2 gets its first major update, adding in extra beacons, useful new items, and making riposte damage scaling actually work</title><link>https://playfox.org/topics/2584270/news/news-20260829-3/</link><pubDate>Sat, 29 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://playfox.org/topics/2584270/news/news-20260829-3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re a little over one week on from the launch of Mortal Shell 2, a game that Jeremy liked quite a lot. But the work of a developer is never done these days, what with the advent of the internet and patches &amp;rsquo;n&amp;rsquo; all. A balance patch arrived on launch day, but the Soulslike has now received its first full update, bringing a whole lot with it.

Trailers have characterised the Slayer Seal as an in-game &amp;rsquo;easy mode&amp;rsquo;. As Jeremy summarises in our own Mortal Shell 2 review, it gives &amp;ldquo;you a pulverising punch and your ranged weapons the ability to deal Break damage&amp;rdquo;, which goes a fair way in an action-RPG this vicious. Not being able to earn achievements with the Seal equipped (or even after you unequip it) has sparked a few Reddit threads protesting that people are being punished for declining to punish themselves… while other people (hello!) wonder why anybody cares this much about Steam achievements at all.

After almost four years of development, it’s incredible to finally put Mortal Shell II in your hands. But launch isn’t the end of our work on the game. Our community has played a huge role in shaping the game and that continues after launch. We’re reading feedback across Steam, Discord, Reddit, and all over the internet and that will continue to influence where we take the game next. The review embargo has also lifted, and we’ve been thrilled by the response so far. We put together an accolades trailer to celebrate: Thank you for being with us and for supporting Mortal Shell II. There’s plenty more ahead. We’ll be in touch. - Team Mortal Shell&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Steam Global Top Sellers for week of 11 Aug — 18 August 2026</title><link>https://playfox.org/topics/2584270/news/news-20260818-9/</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://playfox.org/topics/2584270/news/news-20260818-9/</guid><description>&lt;ul&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;Phantom Blade Zero; * HELLDIVERS™ 2; * Hell Let Loose: Vietnam; * Big Walk; * KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-; * Mortal Shell II; * WARDOGS; * Black Myth: Wukong; * Total War: WARHAMMER III; * No More Room in Hell 2; * excluding free to play games View top 100 on SteamDB&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;/ul&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/SteamDB/1840944183788820"&gt;View original →&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Одна из лучших игр года: Состоялся ранний релиз Mortal Shell II</title><link>https://playfox.org/topics/2584270/news/news-20260817-10/</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://playfox.org/topics/2584270/news/news-20260817-10/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Студия Cold Symmetry объявила о раннем выходе Mortal Shell II.
