Children of Morta is an action RPG with a rogue-lite approach to character development, where you don't play a single character but a whole, extraordinary family of heroes. Hack'n'slash through hordes of enemies in procedurally generated dungeons, caves and lands and lead the family of Bergsons, with all their flaws and virtues, against the forthcoming Corruption.
Gameplay-wise it's a unique mix of action-adventure RPG, rogue-lite and hack and slash game. By leveling up, you develop not only individual characters but also the entire family. There is no permadeath and you can change family members between the dungeon runs.
The story takes place in a distant land but copes with themes and emotions common to all of us: love and hope, longing and uncertainty, ultimately loss... and sacrifice we are willing to make to save the ones we care the most for. Ultimately, it's about a family of heroes standing against the encroaching darkness.
All the dungeons in the game are procedurally generated, which means their layout is different with each adventure. There can be from two to four levels of each dungeon, with a unique boss fight at the end. You can always get back to the previous dungeons to get extra XP or finish all the side quests.
Ranged attacks, magic spells, blocks, stuns, healing, evasions and passive skills are all there for you to discover, unlock and upgrade. You can choose from seven different family members, each one having unique skill sets: John (protective warrior with sword and shield), Linda (precise archer), Kevin (quiet fighter with deadly daggers), Lucy (lively fire mage), Mark (mindful martial arts fighter), Joey (sledgehammer wielder), and Apan (mighty healer and defender).
A combination of hand-painted pixel art and frame-by-frame animations partnered with modern lighting techniques create the beautifully dangerous world of Children of Morta.
Online co-op is available for two players in Story and Family Trials modes. Local co-op is also available.
