Children of Morta

Children of Morta is a beautifully crafted roguelite that marries heart‑warming family storytelling with satisfying tactical combat. The pixel art is stunning, breathing life into each Bergson family member. Their strong bond and the emotionally charged narration make the narrative genuinely move you, not just another backdrop to mindless action. The gameplay loop is tight: each run through procedurally generated dungeons feels fresh, but always contributes to the family’s growth. With seven distinct characters, each offering unique playstyles, there’s real depth and strategic variety. Whether you prefer melee might or magical offense, progression feels meaningful. Overall, Children of Morta is a rare blend of artistic ambition, storytelling quality, and replayable gameplay. I highly recommend it to fans of roguelites who value both heart and hack‑and‑slash action.

Just finished the game with my girlfriend. The art is a 10/10 really amazing job, the story is okay. The main issue comes with the gameplay. The game has some coop issues, you can hear the other players character and their attacks at all time, occasionally your health wont be max on your screen but will be on their screen so you wont be able to pick up a health potion. The balance of the game needs work, some bosses are laughably easy(like the tree boss, he just stands there and doesnt really do much lol). Some characters are OP like lucy being able to kill the final boss in actual seconds. The Hammer guy has a annoying feature where he cant move for what feels like too long of a time after attacking and in a game where you need to be moving to dodge this is annoying. I would also change the dagger guys right click, it just doesnt fit his playstyle. The game is still fun and i recommend playing it with a friend but there are issues.

Fun game. I like the whole family trait aspect where you use other characters and they all buff each other over the long term. Thing is, once you get to a certain point, your family is absolutely insane and just obliterates dungeons. Kevin and Mark are terribly under-powered when you first get them, but then become menaces once you've improved damage, health, crit, etc. They both melt bosses and can clear rooms very quickly. Farming dungeons is a must so you can level up and gain more aspects. I recommend this game if you're looking for an easy rogue-lite to tide you over in-between games.

Can't recommend it highly enough. Fantastic, beautiful game. Amazing world building, amazing narration, great story and a very fun game play loop. Just awesome.

Incredible story, art and animations. Just a lovely game that is rewarding for every loss. even when you have runs that don't progress the main story, you are constantly getting new character interactions between the family members on top of meta game progression as a reward. Love the writing, but wish the DLC that adds a character could actually be used in the main game, instead of just the trials. Really wish they would add more DLC to add characters for main game. leveling each character up to gain bonuses that apply to all characters is really cool, and feels so rewarding even for playing characters I don't like as much.

Good but some of the characters are poorly balanced so they aren't really worth using unless you want to make things harder on yourself.

Better than Moonhunters in some ways. A very good two-player co-op adventure.

super fun. interesting game play. interesting storyline. exemplifies putting all the budget into gameplay will always beat graphics or "message". We need more unique games like this!

Great story and world building, gameplay is fun as well, doesn't do anything different or spectacular but its all solid, different classes and a small skill build tree. However the multiplayer online does not work well and will definitely not work if you are trying to play with a controller. My friend and I had to switch to mouse and keyboard as it would not work with controllers. Still recommend its a good game and priced fairly.

Отличная смесь дьяблоида и рогалика. Милая семейная история. Всем рекомендую

最大的特色就是画面了 有点简化版俯视角死亡细胞的感觉

Besrgsons. How has this repeatedly-manifesting and rather obvious spelling error stayed in the game for so long?

This game is so beautiful. The story is actually meaningful and you really connect with the characters and come to care about them, the actual combat feels really smooth and easy to grasp. Playing multiplayer is a little annoying because the person who is not the host cant control anything but its very easy to look over. The art style of the game is so beautiful and pleasing to look at. 5/5 would suggest this game to anyone who likes a good story and easy to learn game play

Story is good. Gameplay is Hades-like. A little grindy. Characters are unique and cool. Some are a little too similar play style wise. Would be cool if there was more ranged options. Got this on sale. Recommend it on sale. Maybe not full price.

Perfect. Gorgeous pixel art, animation, and character design. Engaging gameplay with great co-op. It has some of the best writing I've seen in a game. I think the story is inspired by persian literature, by the story of Azhi Dehāka. The narrator was great and gave me a lot of goosebumps, I only wish they had shown him the correct pronunciation of Farsi words like "Barahut." :D I had no performance issues on macOS. The only issue with the gameplay was some of the characters weren't balanced enough. But all in all a great experience. Literally just go play this.

Good simple hack-n-slash game with interesting story and amazing pixel art and also animations. Really straight-forward simple gameplay mechanics, nothing too complicated. Nice choice of classes (2 rangers, some middle-range characters and melee characters). Achievements are cool to have. But replayability is potential, possible after some long time. Finished it on normal difficulty, will try with friend on harder next New game plus.

fun loop and cool characters, pay attention cause youll go down a lot

Fairly well balance characters and a wide variety of play styles. A few classes don't come into their own until investing multiple levels. My kid and I had a great time playing this.

Plenty of fun with excellent gameplay, brilliant local co-op and replayability.

One of the most enjoyable and quality roguelites I've had the pleasure of playing. Definitely give it a try. Different classes with different gameplay styles keeps things fresh. Permanent progression feels balanced and satisfying. Visuals are stunning, and the voice acting is awesome. Story is neat too.

Great concept and amazing gameplay loop. Yes the game is a roguelike but it plays more like a RPG with mini-roguelikes as levels. Combat is really smooth and every character has their style you have to play around. I like how the story is told in short bursts altough it does get a bit longwinded and cheesy at times. I didn't really enjoy the final levels either. All in all a great roguelike I definitely recommend.

I don't know that this is a roguelite in the truest sense of the word, but this is a wonderful and engaging game. There's plenty of progression and things to do between runs, the game is beautiful, and the characters are different enough to make them feel worthwhile. The story is particularly interesting, and I find I'm looking forward to learning more. If I wanted to find a flaw, I'd say some folks might find it a bit too easy. Personally, I have zero issues with it, but that's the closest thing I've got to a 'complaint'. Absolutely worth grabbing, especially if you can do so on sale.

Pretty solid game overall, enjoy it more in coop with gf and she like it too very much! ^^

Amazing game. Story, characters,gameplay It is simple, brings joy. Long enough to keep you occupied for several days, but doesnt overstay its welcome. Perfect

accessible roguelike with a story and easy to set up multiplayer, recommend if you don't mind it being slightly barebones.

Fun and quick combat with a good art style and surprisingly touching story.

I started this game back in semester 4 and just recently finished it. I played most of it during the Iran-Israel war, and it was a great escape from all the news. Overall, it’s a really good game with an immersive atmosphere that can keep you entertained for hours. But it had two issues. I played the Persian version, and sometimes the voiceovers would cut out or the language would randomly switch these bugs became more frequent toward the end of the game. Another issue I had was that, apart from Lucy and Linda, the other characters were completely useless to me I never played with them, as they seemed poorly designed. All in all, I definitely recommend trying it out.

Great game and amazing story. 10/10. Long live the Bergsons!

Beautiful for a pixel-art game. Great story. Good narration. Varied gameplay. Love it. The hype was worth it

An okay little wholesome game to enjoy a few hours, possibly with a friend in co-op. It's a bit too shallow to really drag you in the long run: it's short, the gameplay is very simple without much difficulty nor variety, and the story probably won't surprise you. Still, I enjoyed its cozy art style and simplicity.

It's a very nice game with a good story. Easy to adapt game dynamics. Lots of playable characters with different skills and stories.

got instantly addicted and Finished the game in one sitting pretty awesome game

This game is more annoying than fun to play. You basically need to keep pressing esc all the time to skip the endless amounts of cutscenes thrown at you. And when you get to play and find a character that is fun to play, you are hit with some 'corruption fatigue' BS that makes it so the character has lowered stats in order to 'persuade' you to play the other characters. This games devs don't value your time and really don't care if you have fun. For a Roguelike this game is trash.

Recommended but ONLY if you plan on playing it with your kids. It's a very kid-friendly roguelite. You only have 3 active abilities + an occasional power up. Character skill trees are short with few options. Combat is easy and the story is heavily focused on family. It's obvious that this game was meant to be played by parents & kids. It's simple, small, runs great, and is easy for anybody over 7 to understand and play. Not recommended for adults who want to play alone or with other adults.

stucks too much for no reason, unplayable at current state

JFC what a TRASH gameplay! I love roguelites, they're my favorite genre and I feel like I'm well-experienced in the area to point some of the problems with this game. It's combat is SO janky that's barely unplayable: starting with the dash-ability having a ridiculous long cooldown and the block only works when it wants to, but the balance in general of the game is off, I got only to dungeon 2 on map 1 and got stuck with maybe 6 or 7 runs with no progress besides the main story, the upgrades are unnoticible. Character is weak AF and mobs are far too many with far too much damage considering the ridiculously long cooldown your skills have. Pretty much you have only your primary with one-single-use-dash, a shield and a wave of melees and ranged mobs to parry and dash. It's literally - literally literally - impossible. You see yourself with half or less HP the majority of your run with luckily being able to heal before some big encounter (never happened tho). Talking about the story now, that's the only thing that kept me trying to play it: Art style, voice acting and the story itself are great, sound design is cool too, almost felt like a Diablo roguelite, but oh boy, I ain't no masochist to keep doing this. Last game I felt like a useless little shit like this was Hades and I dropped as soon as I reached the summit once, this game made me give up sooner, because the characters are as shallow as they can be, differently from Hades with it's rich and deep story and character-development. Well, after all that, I'm not refunding it tho, maybe someday the Devs launch an update or hotfix or maybe some tweaks here and there to make the game more balanced and I surely will try it again. Until that, unnistalling and moving on.

excellent storytelling and beautiful design in a compelling and fun action rpg

Surprisingly, strong narrative and unique art style. If you're looking for a new rouge, then I'd recommend this one!

If your looking for rogue like fun this is it! Had a blast beating it as I played co op with my girl!

I can see why people like this, but I didn't enjoy it very much. There's an exhaustion mechanic that encourages you to switch characters for each run, but there's no experience sharing so you end up grinding out the same levels over and over again. The characters have very different playstyles, so you'll find one or two that you like and then spend half your time on ones you don't. I had high hopes for this one but the actual experience just wasn't that fun.

A twin stick shooter/ Roguelite rpg hybrid with a beautifully colorful art style, top notch narrator, and an incredibly well paced storyline that actually makes you care about your characters, which is rare for an action rpg. (I literally got a little misty at one point in the story) If you like action rpg's I highly recommend this one.

The pretentious story cannot overcome the horrible pixelated graphics. It looks like a 30 year old game. Who wants that when we have powerful computers. The devs are either lazy or incompetent. Writing code to make a game interesting can't be that hard can it ? There's no immersion when everything is out of focus with heavy pixelation.

Great story and good dungeon crawler.

Hades before Hades came out. Please play it, you won't be disappointed.

Great story heavy RPG with roguelite elements.

Cute little game. Worth the time

What a great game! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good game!

any progress you make in a multiplayer session is host only

lovely game. Very soothing experience.

Jogo top, o unico problema é o RNG para pegar umas conquistas pode variar de 1 hora a 24 horas ou ate mais kk
