    Great story and animations, but the gameplay is dull and annoying. No loot, no weapons, only coins and some kind of magic potions. Hours of buttonmashing. And if you die, well they've chosen the worst penalty, buttonmash through the dungeon again right from the start for no reward.. Sry.

    The narrative is decent, the graphic style subjectively wonderful and the gameplay solid. It's a little generic a tale for my tastes, and - just as with bastion - I find the narrator is a welcome addition, but it just cements the thoroughly underwhelming and generic story. Not a homerun, but not a trainwreck either. The gameplay itself is pretty... mediocre for a roguelite, but fitting.The narrative is decent, the graphic style subjectively wonderful and the gameplay solid.

What really makes me rate this game only medium, however, is that it's fairly short and, unlike most roguelike/lites has little to no replayability. I also want to add that I found the first boss to be more of a challenge than anything else the game threw at me; meaning it is pretty easy as well - but that's alright.

    I don't want to use the word "overrated" here, but there are so so so many games with great narrative and well-written stories and it frustrates me that something like this gets lifted into the "BRILLIANT STORY" category without lifting a finger, just because it has a narrative forced upon you instead of giving players clues to read between the lines.    … Expand

    This is a "story-driven roguelike".

    Unfortunately, the latter is not that strong. It comes with a variety of distinct characters, but funnels you into playing as them even if you don't want to through a combination of bonuses (you have to get each character to a certain level to earn their universal bonus) and cooldowns.

    While thematically appropriate, it becomes grindy and frustrating to play a character who is not enjoyable. The cooldowns in particular are irritating, especially against the final boss. Having to wait for a cooldown to play as your preferred character feels like something out of an FTP mobile game.

    Then there's the story. It's delivered with such melodramatic gravitas, such ponderous self-importance, that it would serve better as a parody.

    There's no nuance to it - as if the baddies being called the Corruption and being frightfully ugly was too subtle, they are also shown picking on animals, a pregnant woman and cute bots. It even spells out the (obvious) moral of the tale at the end.

    It's like a pre-teen cartoon, delivered as if it's a literary masterwork. Utterly cringeworthy.    … Expand

    Children Of Morta is a beautifully made one to two player rogue-lite dungeon crawler with an emphasis on the story of our heroes, the Bergson family, as they work to stop a spreading corruption from killing their land. Each moment of a characters story has emotion that is conveyed amazingly via the narrator and visuals. From the youngest son wishing to find his purpose, to him and his father playing a game of ball outside. The leveling system for characters is well throughout, besides earning passive and active skills, each Bergson unlocks a new family trait every 5 levels or so that benefit the entire family (IE, the rogue of the family gives everyone a bonus to critical hit chance). Each run has some value, from picking up gold for the family coffers that can be used for various family wide stat bonuses to exp for characters, making every attempt worth while in some way.

    Cons:
    The combat is rather simple with each character only having a simple attack and an ability or two along side it, its not the worst in the world, but its nothing new for the genre. The dash system is rather annoying with each character only having a certain amount, each with a varying time between recharge times for each one.

    Verdict:
    In reality most of the "bad" things in Children Of Morta dont feel like game ruining issues, they're more so minor annoyances, like the stickers on apples. The game is amazingly well done and fun for those who want a good action game with story to its bones.    … Expand

    Pretty, but boring. Enemies are spongy, the game requires very low APM, and mostly consists of grinding. Whenever you lose it's because you went so far that you need to spend your earned currency for simple upgrades and go do the same thing and go a little bit further

    I'm usually not too big a fan of rogue-lites but this game really nails everything I like about them. There's actual progression, the art is beautiful, there's reason to play the different characters throughout the entire game. They weave the story wonderfully through the game. Just be aware that this won't be super long. I'll easily be getting 20-30 hours, some may get less some more.I'm usually not too big a fan of rogue-lites but this game really nails everything I like about them.

The issue as to why my overall "meh" rating is really the pacing of the game, it gets super boring so quickly. They really only have 3 areas to play through/explore, with a ton of re-use and asset duplication. I get bored quickly because of how many times I have to play through the same levels. More time in development with a larger number of maps and enemies would have made the pace of the game much better. Hopefully this will change in the future with additional development… Expand

Team play is a fun mechanic, and I love the "Dad" buffs on John's character. It makes the tank character loveable and fun to play.

    One of the most beautiful pixel art games that i have played. Game length is around ten hours. The narrators voice immerses you into the story of the Bergson family. While not very long, i had a lot of fun trying out different characters with their distinct skill sets. The mini stories inside of each dungeon are a nice touch and the main hub had a cozy family atmosphere.

    When a mysterious darkness covers the land, the Bergson family (custodians of Mount Morta) must find a way to fight back against the evil corruption.

    Children of Morta is an enjoyable enough rouge-lite dungeon crawler, especially when played co-op, but the lack of variety in terms of dungeons and enemies means it can’t live up to the best the genre has to offer.

    +It's on the easier side, compared to Wizard of Legend which is the only game I can closely compare it to, so it's less frustrating while still being satisfying.
    +The archer character, Linda, can move with the left analog stick while shooting in an independent direction with the right analog. I'm not aware of any other action RPGs that have done this, and for me this is very fun.
    +They animated Linda's boobs, as well as those of the pregnant mom in one instance. Think about how much you'd have to love what you're making to animate boobs using pixels.
    -The game ends too early. Honestly, it feels like there is one entire world missing (there's 3, with a couple extra things). It ends before you get to see all the characters' skills.
    -The difficulty drops off too much in world 3. Up to that point it's a fun and challenging, but the bosses are increasingly easy and the final boss goes down like nothing - literally, the easiest boss in the game.
    -The level up system is backwards. You only gain a level when you use the skill point you earned from gaining the level. It's called "skill level." In practice, say you unlock new skills at level 14. Well instead of getting to choose them, when you get your 14th skill point you have to use it on your lower level skills. Then your skill level increases, and unlocks the L14 tier of skills you want. So you have to wait a whole other level to get them.
    -There's no way for a player to challenge themselves after beating the game, all you can do is play the final area. You will max out all your global upgrades (using gold) very fast, while the experience points come too slow to be rewarding. There absolutely should at least be some kind of optional challenge dungeon, or at least the ability to make earlier levels scale to you.
    -Some of the mechanics are not balanced, and seem to exist for no reason. Charms a separate item category from divine graces, when most of them do the same thing (give a permanent buff).
    -The game's biggest flaw: The player never gets close to the characters. You can't even control them while at home between dungeons! The story is told by an omniscient narrator, at no point do the characters speak with their own voices. It's all very impersonal and it undermines the intention of connecting strongly with them - not completely, but a great deal.
    -Because of that I suspect that many players will just press B to skip the story, which is told exclusively through narrated cutscenes that can't be sped up or skipped line-by-line.
    -Suffers generally from the repetitiveness inherent to roguelites.    … Expand

No thought appears to have attached to this at all from the looks.

    The developer I am sure will say to you as a response, well go and buy more upgrades to get stronger... This creates a massive grind fest, which over time unlocks more story which is about a family and it's dysfunction.

    A fantastic roguelike dungeon crawler with lots of heart. Seeing story unfolding as you progress bit by bit is very well executed, doesn't feel too slow or too rushed.

    Gráficamente, nunca he sido amigo del "pixel art" así que creo que es mejorable, pero probablemente aquellos a los que si les gusta lo encontrarán bastante atractivo. El sonido cumple, sin sorprendentes efectos ni música, aunque con una buena voz narradora. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, es un juego carente de bugs.

    El resultado de todo ello es un juego muy entretenido. Un 7.    … Expand

    I LOVE this game! An amazing rogue-like game! 11 Bit Studios finally published a new update for game and Persian language added (The Game developers native language). In my opinion this game is a must-play and you can enjoy a lot in it. The online co-op is still in progress but you can enjoy local co-op with your friend and family members. The story is also quite amazing!

    Çok güzel bir roguelike ve hack and slash oyunu. Normalde roguelike oyunlarında ölüp ölüp aynı yerleri tekrar tekrar oynamayı sevmem. Ancak bu oyun ölümler arasında hikayede yaşanan irili ufaklı gelişmelerle ve zindanlarda rastladığımız ilgi çekici yan görevlerle kendisine bağladı.

Normalde roguelike oyunlarında ölüp ölüp aynı yerleri tekrar tekrar oynamayı sevmem. Ancak bu oyun ölümler arasında hikayede yaşanan irili ufaklı gelişmelerle ve zindanlarda rastladığımız ilgi çekici yan görevlerle kendisine bağladı. Ayrıca her ölüm sonrası sıfırlanan rün ve ilahi güçlendiricileri haritada tekrar aramak sıkıcılıktan ziyade oyuna keşif hissi katmış.

    Hikayesinin ve aksiyonunun temelinde aile var. Oyuna devam etmemi sağlayan (Dead Cells'in aksine) da bu oldu. Ailenin başından geçen olaylar, yeni eklenen bireyler veya hayvanlar oyuna olan bağlılığınızı artırıyor. Yeni eklenen ve seviye 1 olan karakterleri oynamak içinse oyun kendi içinde güzel nedenler oluşturmuş. Birincisi karakterlerin oynanışı cidden farklı ve birbirinden keyifli. Bunun dışında yeni karakterin seviyesi 1 olsa da daha önce kastığınız karakte,r kendi skilleri kadar ailenin de bazı (hasarı, canı, skill gücü gibi) skillerini güçlendirmiş oluyor. Ayrıca bir karakterle çok fazla oynarsanız yoruluyor ve onun yerine bir süre başkalarıyla oynamak durumunda kalıyorsunuz.

    Dediğim gibi bu Bergson Ailesinin oyunu ancak aileye odaklanırken oynanış ve hikayede bireyleri göz ardı etmemiş. Her birisinin bir karakteri, oynanışı ve hikayesi var. Sırf bunu başarmak bile epey takdir edilesi bir iş. Türe uzak olanların bile ilgisini çekebilir. Yayıncısı tabii ki 11 Bit Studios.    … Expand

    Incredibly beautiful narrative driven roguelike. In 20 minutes I aleady loved this family more than any video game protagonists I can think of. Children of Morta is a must play if you are into the genre.

    Artistically very strong, but ultimately it is very repetitive like a lot of rogue-likes. Combat has a lot of "feedback" due to timing, animations and sounds, it feels great.

    the game is not like some other RL games that you can replay all the time, its mostly a story game with RL elements

    Children of Morta is pieced together in such a way that no element feels out of place, and the wonderful roguelite gameplay is backed with a deep and emotional story that kept me engrossed until the very end.

    This simple story about the importance of family ties will definitely tug at your heartstrings — if not with words, then at least with beautiful pixel-perfect dungeons.

    Children of Morta presents a really amazing story about an adventuring family out to save the world. Its mix of Rogue-lite and RPG elements make it easily accessible to expert players and new players to this genre. And even with other massive titles, it is a great indie gem that you should have.
