While some upgrades affect the entire family, each character will level up separately, so it may pay off to stick with one or two and level-up those skill trees to stay competitive. Each of the characters look, play, and genuinely feel different, so it might take a while to find your favorite, or you might just want to keep mixing things up. The level of replayability is unprecedented, not only with the randomized levels but also allowing you to pick from any of the unlocked family members, so you can constantly change up your party (of two) to meet any specific challenges. You can also coordinate your attacks and various powers to inflict maximum damage and make the most of cooldown timers.
It is so easy to die in Children of Morta, but if you are playing co-op you can heal each other and keep the game going much longer than playing alone. After playing alone and later with a friend I can’t see ever playing solo again. While parts of the game are restricted to solo play, once you enter a dungeon you can share the danger and the loot with a partner in local co-op, allowing two members of the family to team up. The game plays much like any traditional action-RPG where you move around hacking and slashing, or in the case of ranged fighters, playing like a twin-stick shooter. Then there is Lucy, a lively and bold fire mage, Mark, a mindful martial arts fighter, and finally, Joey who smashes his enemies with a sledgehammer. Play as John, the father and protective warrior with a sword and shield or the elder daughter Linda, a precise archer, or Kevin, a quiet fighter equipped with deadly daggers.
#CHILDREN OF MORTA UPGRADES FULL#
The storybook narrative unfolds as we learn about the Bergsons, a family of six heroes that you will get to know around the dinner table as well as throughout numerous adventures that take place in expansive outdoor levels and in dark and sinister dungeon levels full of traps and monsters all randomly created each time you die and revisit, so the game is always fresh and unpredictably deadly. There is a wonderful story being told in Children of Morta, both in the script and the fantastic narration that had me thinking back to Bastion. It was surprisingly easy to look beyond the rough edges in Children of Morta, and it didn’t take long to forget the game was even using this primitive art style thanks to some incredible lighting and slick camera work that borrows the best elements of Diablo and Ori and the Blind Forest. And finally, most games that rely on pixel art are either using it in a misguided attempt to stir up nostalgia or because they don’t have the skills or desire to create something with contemporary graphics. The RPG advancement in the game isn’t just tied to your chosen character although each character is very unique with their own weapons and skill trees, but you also get perks for the entire family. You heard me you actually move the story forward by dying, which in turn unlocks new characters and upgrades that might make it possible to succeed on your next attempt. The repetitious pattern of dying and replaying procedurally generated levels over and over again until you grind your way to a status and level where you might just survive is rewarded with story progression each time you die. First, all three of my pet peeves are being handled in a unique way that sets Children of Morta apart from any other competing game.
I’m not the biggest fan of RPG’s, a really don’t care for roguelites, and I simply detest pixel-art games, yet somehow, this game that encapsulates all three of these elements, is now one of my favorites games of September. On paper, Children of Morta is a game I should not like.
