## What is Shell Heroes?

Small hermit crabs. A big adventure.
One shell can change the way you fight.

Shell Heroes: Awesome Island is a side-scrolling action adventure starring nine hermit crab heroes. Battle enemies, gather materials, and craft and upgrade shells as you uncover the island's secrets. Your shell is both armor and a special ability. Change your shell, change your approach.

NINE HEROES, THEIR OWN STORIES
Choose from nine characters with different stats, personalities and story quests. Version 2.0 brings redesigned heroes, new animations and refreshed portraits to your journey.

HIDE, PARRY AND STRIKE BACK
Chain attacks, dash out of danger, and use your Shell Boomerang and Shell Skills. Shell Hide lets you block hits with shell durability instead of HP. Time a parry to create an opening for a counterattack, and learn each boss's movements to turn the fight in your favor.

COLLECT, CRAFT AND GROW
Turn materials from battles and exploration into new shells. Compare their stats and skills, upgrade your favorites and discover a fighting style of your own. Redesigned crafting and enhancement sequences make each finished shell a moment to enjoy.

AN ISLAND FULL OF SECRETS
Set out from Sora Village to explore varied regions, meet the locals, solve puzzles and enjoy minigames. Discover five hidden areas with new stories and rewards. A familiar stretch of scenery might conceal your next adventure.

LITTLE COMPANIONS, SHARED ADVENTURES
Travel with one of the children you rescue, build your friendship and craft shells for your companion to wear.

MAKE THE JOURNEY YOUR OWN
Play with touch controls and adjustable camera zoom. Hide the UI in Screenshot Mode to capture your favorite scenes. Available in 12 languages.

Which hero will you choose—and which shell will you take?
