About Children of Morta

About this game

IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY.

Children of Morta sets its story in a distant land but copes with themes closer to our daily lives than one would expect. It is a story of simple emotions we all know so well and values more than sometimes we dare to admit: love and hope, longing and uncertainty, and ultimately loss and sacrifice we are willing to make to save the ones we care the most for.

Embark on the adventure of an extraordinary family of heroes. With the Corruption spreading through the land, guardians of the Mountain Morta have to stand up against the ancient evil. But... it's not a story about saving the universe. It’s a story about a valiant family standing together while the world around them is being devoured by darkness.

FEATURES:

FAMILY TIES

The Bergson family is prepped and ready for the forthcoming fray. Discover and experience each character’s unique fighting style along with their personalities. Witness their emotions run high as they struggle to help one another return peace to the land. Witness the growth of a family.

INHERITED TALENTS

Each family member has a different background and expertise, shaping them into a diverse group of Guardians. Some prefer close combat, crushing their enemies with magnificent hammers or slashing away with a keen sword or dagger. Others perform at a distance with skilful bow use or extraordinary spells. Discover the distinct playstyle of each member and select the one that suits you!

ANCESTRAL WISDOM

Grandma Margaret and Uncle Ben - the seer and blacksmith of the family. Armed with knowledge passed down through generations of Bergson's, they are here to assist you. You can rely on their ancient knowledge about the way of Rea, the spirit of Morta land. Use their skills to upgrade the family's gear and boost main attributes. Be sure to take advantage of your ancestor’s wisdom!

MYSTICAL MOUNTAIN

To the villagers and residents of Rea, the mountain is everything. Full of history, legends and magic, it is a symbol and source of life, health, and prosperity. Delve into the mountain itself - unravel the mysteries inside. Unearth what Corruption is and why it has come to this seemingly peaceful place.

EVER-CHANGING WORLD

The world is touched by Corruption - constantly changing. Every forest, dungeon, or temple you explore and skirmish through will never be the same, guaranteeing a unique experience in each play session.

UNIQUE 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!

Awesome rougelite game with nice combat mechanics and good co-op synergy. Difficulty feels about right. The art style is very pleasing and the story progression and character unlocks make it satisfying to play through, even though I don't think there is much variety in dungeon design. Many roguelites allow you to pick up different weapons along the way, but in this case, you get modifiers to your existing skills or new ones, which is interesting but in some ways can be a little boring. Overall, it is a fun game to play, especially in co-op.

i think this game is great. the artwork is fantastic, the audio and the narrator is great. the main drawback is actually the gameplay. it is very surface level, it is a rougelike where you only get a few items per run (most just meaningless stat boots) and you take on hoards of enemies with combat that is just okay.

Great game. Keeps you guessing since nothing is pregenerated. The combat is on par with most of the rogue likes out there.

One more run, just one more

Verified purchase
In my 100 minutes of playtime so far, I beat the first boss and I'm really drawn in by the setting and the combat options. Really has me saying "just one more run" story is hard to touch on since I've only scratched the surface but I do want to see where it goes, family secrets, unknown horrors, deadly challenges, it's a good balance I think
