The world crumbles, as it yearns for the presence of the old gods. Only the strongest and most depraved beings remain. Imprisoned beneath the first castle, can you fight your way to the surface?

Shell of a King is a top-down 2D bullet-hell RPG with an emphasis on tough boss fights, an original soundtrack, and an interconnected world to explore. A passion-project by a solo dev.
