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!

Simple but full of charm, a decent roguelite.

Milky

Decent roguelite, takes about 15-20 hours to fully complete including all achievements. Has offline and online co-op. The skill trees and upgrades aren't very deep or complex however the charm and atmosphere of the game makes up for it. If you're a fan of roguelites and pixel graphics you will probably like it.

Children of Morta is a fun rogue-lite with a fun story and solid diablo-esque gameplay. Co-op is great for this one.

interesting art style, surprisingly story rich and fun combat.

Galen
Verified purchase
Interesting somewhat abstract art style. Engaging game play with characters playing quite differently. Plenty of progression to be had. Difficulty level is a bit high but not to much. Combat is quite enjoyable. Game also has co-op including local co-op which is a big plus in my opinion. As a roguelike it also is surprising story rich. It is not all perfect however. Enemy and location variety is a little limited but still varied enough not to take away from the game's enjoyment. On the whole its a solid, enjoyable game.

Fun and addictive gameplay loop, with endearing art design, music, and a nice twist on traditional ARPG experiences with your extended family being the rost of characters. Nice progression systems, too.

It feels like Heroes of Hammerwatch but with a better story. Unfortunately its a little bit too easy even in hard mode. But since thats the only negative I rate it with 5 Stars. Had a gread time playing it and the Graphics are amazing.
