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!

A fun and challenging roguelike that has some lovely art to back it up. It has good character variety with each one feeling unique in it's own way and mechanics that encourage you to give each of the roster a shot. The co-op has been a blast and it has a lot of fun panic moments where you're desperately trying not to die.

The game is packed full of lore and story, the combat is nice and the fact your upgrades can carry over to other characters (family traits) is nice.

RPG with multiplayer that only helps host

Rho
Verified purchase
Fun but for an RPG to only advance the hosts game is unconscionable. You unlock characters and then advance into the maps with meta advancements. You've got to make sure all your characters level approximately even or you will get in a spot where the person you need is far to low level.

A solid top-down dungeon crawling experience with a deep narrative and lovable setting

Gustaf
Verified purchase
A fantastic pixel dungeon crawler with a rich narrative and tight gameplay. This is a perfect game to play either on the go, when you have an hour to kill, or even chilling in your couch. An absolute must have for any indie-lover.

This is a roguelike for people who aren't sure about roguelikes.

Litzkrieg
Verified purchase
This is a roguelike for people who aren't sure about roguelikes. The story is engaging, art is great, the combat is fun, and I don't feel particularly punished when I die in a run. Add on Remote Play Together, and you have a great multiplayer hack and slash! It's not my favorite game, but it definitely stands out in the genre for me.
