IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY


Children of Morta is an action RPG with a rogue-lite approach to character development, where you don’t play a single character - but a whole, extraordinary family of heroes. Hack’n’slash through hordes of enemies in procedurally generated dungeons, caves and lands and lead the family of Bergsons, with all their flaws and virtues, against the forthcoming Corruption.

FEATURES:

 

GAMEPLAY
 

Gameplay-wise it's a unique mix of action-adventure RPG, rogue-lite and hack and slash game. By leveling up, you develop not only individual characters but also the entire family. There is no permadeath and you can change family members between the dungeon runs.
 

STORY
 

The story takes place in a distant land but copes with themes and emotions common to all of us: love and hope, longing and uncertainty, ultimately loss... and sacrifice we are willing to make to save the ones we care the most for. Ultimately, it's about a family of heroes standing against the encroaching darkness.
 

DUNGEON CRAWLING
 

All the dungeons in the game are procedurally generated, which means their layout is different with each adventure. There can be from two to four levels of each dungeon, with a unique boss fight at the end. You can always get back to the previous dungeons to get extra XP or finish all the side quests.
 

CHARACTERS & SKILLS
 

Ranged attacks, magic spells, blocks, stuns, healing, evasions and passive skills - it's all there for you to discover, unlock and upgrade. You can choose from seven different family members, each one having unique skill sets. The father, John - a protective warrior with a sword and shield. The elder daughter Linda - a precise archer. Kevin, a quiet fighter equipped with deadly daggers. Lucy - a lively and bold fire mage. Mark - a mindful martial arts fighter. Joey - who smashes his enemies with a sledgehammer. And the latest addition to the family - Apan, a mighty healer and a firm defender in one.
 

ART STYLE
 

A combination of hand-painted pixel art and frame-by-frame animations partnered with modern lighting techniques come to life to create the beautifully dangerous world of Children of Morta!

Perfect Co-Op

I've only played this game with a partner and the Children of Morta never falters in building challenges, opening new realms and maps all with special enemies. One particular thing that stands out is the variety of Bergsons so many abilities to vibe off of and combo together while playing shoulder to shoulder. This is perfect for someone who's not great at reflexes it's pretty fun even when you're loosing 2 minutes into the level. over 10 hours in and no glitches or cheap deaths.

Beautiful Game

Children of Morta is a beautiful pixel game with beautiful voice work and a nice story. It's so pretty and is a bit of a dungeon crawler, but eventually you acquire new characters. I don't really have a lot to add. I think that other reviewers were really able to explain it. I'm just here to second that you should grab. this. game.

Beautiful little gem

One of the few pixel-art roguelite that felt captivating and engagingto me. You get a wide set of different heroes that have different playstyles - the game rewards you leveling up all of them as they give you passive bonuses your favorite characters. The difficulty is challenging but not frustrating and most importantly you get the feeling of progress as you level up - theres always a feeling of reward which keeps things interesting. A bit of a downside here: the story ends the moment the battles get more interesting due to the broader set of skills and their synergies at your disposal which start to develop later in the game (to be fair, you could still play NG+ or the infinitive/hardcore game mode if that's you thing). The artstyle captures the magical side of the fantasy genre very well - sadly the dungeons themselves aren't half as beautiful as the surroundings, which are only shown a few times apart from the Bergsons house and garden. The focus of the game however is on the story and the characters and it does a damn good job at that (altough I would have loved to learn more about the mysterious visitor 'Apan'). While it all starts out pretty generic the story gets a lot darker than you would have imagined. Also a downside here: while start and middle of the tale are fleshed out and engaging, the end feels rushed an lackluster. TL;DR: Like a previous Reviewer said: mix of Binding of Isaac in terms of playstyle (a lot more fun and variation though imo) and Bastion in terms of narration (while the narrator is very good, Bastion is a bit better here). Still TL: If you like the Screenshots, buy the game. It's beautiful.
