Children of Morta Reviews

beautiful art, good story telling, and good game play.

Personagens diversificados e com diferentes playstyles. Artes e trilha sonora são boas, mas nao excepcional. Com a adição da DLC, com o novo modo o jogo tem uma ótima rejogabilidade. pontos positivos do game para quem não é gamer: fácil de aprender, boa progressão durante o game e menus claros.

I like how it sounds. I (mostly) like how it looks. I somewhat enjoy how it writes. But I absolutely loathe, detest, and despise how it feels. And that's the thing you'll never get from videos of others playing it. It is as unfun, clunky, and unwieldy as it gets. Sprinkle with lots of indestructible level hazards for a truly unforgettable and obnoxious experience.

Really enjoying the replay of each level. The growth as a family, as opposed to individual growth per character alone is also a remarkably great addition. I know this game has been out for a long time, but I'm diving in like its brand new! Thank you 11bit!

Each time you die more of the story unfolds.. It's great.

Children of Morta is an absolutely fantastic action RPG that perfectly blends deep storytelling with rewarding gameplay. The hand-painted art style is stunning, and the world feels alive with rich lore and heartfelt character development. Each family member brings their own unique abilities, and the combat is fast-paced and satisfying. The game's difficulty ramps up nicely, making every victory feel earned. With a compelling story about family, sacrifice, and courage, Children of Morta is a must-play for fans of the genre. Highly recommended!

Good game. Needs more items and maybe the story could be more challenging on hard mode but it's fun

The most wholesome pixel game. There is a beautiful story shaped around a family. Good music-sounds and art style complete the story in the best way.

It doesn't seem to be worthwhile to put effort into reviewing older games, because the reviews rarely seem to get views or likes. That said, I really do want to be on record for this game, even if I did just discover it in 2025. This is hands down one of the best narrative roguelite experiences on the market. It is a roguelite in every way... you have multiple characters with different combat styles and skill trees, you play run after run until you complete sections of the dungeon, and you keep experience and cash earned from each run. Those are used to unlock permanent upgrades back at the house. But the over arching narrative weaved here is really quite breathtaking. This is a family tale, and is told through some absolutely amazing voice acting narration. You just have to experience it to understand. The combat is fairly straightforward, though each character has a different weapon and style. You have one sword and board, one archer, one fire mage, one dagger rogue, one monk, one 2h warrior, and then another one I haven't unlocked yet. Each character has a skill tree and abilities that work with their style. It's really cool because each experience tree also unlocks abilities that benefit the entire family, so it behooves you to keep playing as each one of them. This helps to keep runs refreshing, especially if you spend a while in a certain dungeon where the same enemies and scenery could get repetitive. Dashing is a thing in this game, but it has a cool down and isn't really meant to be the primary method of combat (unlike a souls game, where that is the heart of combat). Here you are using your regular movement and planning your position, judging your timing based upon range and attack speed, etc. I am so glad I am finally having this experience, and heartily recommend to anyone who likes roguelites.

[h2]If Hades is the best roguelike about a dysfunctional, broken family, then Children of Morta is the best roguelike about a healthy, wholesome one[/h2] I first finished the game in 2020 on my PS4 (so add 20 more hours to the total playtime) and recently picked it up again on Steam. It’s an amazingly beautiful little masterpiece. I had a blast playing through the main story and even started NG+—something I almost never do, but this game was that hard to put down. ✨ Gorgeous pixel art 💛 Heartwarming story 🎮 Tight, fluid gameplay 📈 Satisfying progression I highly recommend giving this game a try. Huge thanks to the Dead Mage team for creating this world! 🙏
