An ARPG with a sense of adventure
I've always been intrigued by the character building, gear customization and fast-paced combat aspects of action RPGs like Diablo or Grim Dawn. However, as much as I do enjoy games like that, I've always wished for them to have a deeper focus on story. Enter: Children of Morta. I got this game for free during a promo GOG ran in 2020 and I'm glad that I did, because it is fantastic. I've always been a huge fan of story-driven games ever since my dad crafted a small pen-and-paper adventure game for me to play, long before I got into video games. Children of Morta combines the best of adventure games with easy-to-understand RPG skill systems and great dungeon crawling gameplay and the result is glorious. The story tells us a tale about the Bergson family who have been tasked with protecting the world. This family theme is great because most people can deeply relate to family-themed stories, regardless of what their family is/was like. This also helps the game feel more like an adventure, instead of a loot grind like most ARPGs and dungeon crawlers do. This also creates interesting gameplay mechanics, as the Bergson family home functions as a calm base where you can break from the chaos and experience the home life of the family. Another interesting element is how each family member has their own personality and each one represents a different take on the traditional RPG "class". Also, pixel art can be a bit divisive to some people but I've never met a person who didn't at least admire the art in this game. It's probably the prettiest pixel art game I've ever seen, due to the gorgeous color palette, the fantastic detail in the art itself and the great use of lighting and effects. As pixel art tends to do, it creates a very nostalgic feel but it also does a good job of making you feel immersed into the world and the story that is woven into it. If you've ever enjoyed ARPG gameplay but wish there was a greater focus on story, Children of Morta is absolutely your game.
