When this force begins spreading across the land, the family is forced into action, beginning with John, the father, and Linda, one of his daughters. We learn that this home sits at the epicenter of an ancient evil known as the Corruption. It’s a cool touch that again hammers home the family dynamic. Whether you succeed or fail in that run, you are often treated to new snapshots of the Bergson's lives and can hear what they are thinking. The family home is the hub players visit after each dungeon run. Even small moments, like the adoption of a new pet, are brought to life in playful and gorgeous ways. The unique animations used to frame the story moments are impressive and great in number, often including all of the family members in a scene. The visuals follow suit with beautifully animated pixel-art characters atop colorful backdrops. The writing is top notch from start to finish and unfolds through the soothing voice of a narrator who speaks of the Bergson’s lives as though they are unfolding through a children’s picture book. This action/RPG strikes an odd balance between showing the purity of family life and the need to sacrifice all to save the world, but it ends up being compelling and thoughtful, giving you plenty of reason to cheer the Bergson's on. As you skillfully hack your way through skeleton hordes and fire arrows at demonic ghouls, the lives of the ten people in the Bergson family are explored fully you watch them bond, struggle, and ultimately grow – from children and parents to magic-wielding gods. No character feels useless in the endgame giving you a reason to try and experience every character in the family.Children of Morta is a nicely designed dungeon crawler with a huge heart. Your characters must rest as they gain weary from the never-ending onslaught of darkness. The Bergsons are battling against an ancient corruption that is slowly devouring the land and the family.
No member of the family is strong without the others. Each character has a unique playstyle letting you work with the team to have a fun, balanced battle when working together. Her older sister Linda is more mature thinking matters through and wields a bow giving range to the family unit. Lucy is bursting with the energy of her youth and although cute has the power of a deadly fire mage. His son is very different, as a more withdrawn and cautious character, he uses invisibility and is the stealthy member of the group. John, the father of the group, bears a shield and protects the family in an endeavor to guard those he loves by being the tank of the group.
The family members themselves are the classes, and their role in the family structure helps determine their abilities. Family can overcome every obstacle by staying together and loving each other, and this theme permeates the entire experience.
The story is simple, but what gives it feeling is the expression of hope, courage, love, and sacrifice mixed with grief that players will connect with. The game is set in a distant land and is about the Berson gamily who protect Mount Morta and its surrounding area. The goal is to give a more compelling and original narrative to break up some of the more monotonous games plaguing the genre. The designers at Dead Mage have decided to change the focus from classes and instead focus on a family. The industry is flooded with basic brave warrior narratives and stories that revolve around a super-powerful wizard. What makes Children of Morta stand out is their heavy storytelling focus that is not common in this genre. It does play in a similar way that rogue-lite game is famous for, but this is solely for a more replayability factor or their game. This game is story-driven with a strong core focus on family. There has been a resurgence of pixel-based RPGs recently, but many of them have been trying to follow a rogue-lite game theme with endless dungeons and limited story, but Children of Morta is going for a different angle.
