“At first, Children of Morta looks like a typical rogue-like with rpg elements. But it is far beyond that. What makes this game amazing is the way it tells you the story. You play as members of a family known as the…”
“7.5/10 Story needs improvement and the replayability needs improvement. but the story is pretty nice and gameplay is pretty polished.”
“Beautiful game for sure and the game play is pretty simple. The different characters really let you practice various play styles. The only thing slightly negative is that the main story just kind of 'ends' and left me…”

“Clunky gameplay, C tier game. Looks nice but it’s so frustrating to play, in a bad way. Timing dodges are too inconsistent and the game penalizes you for practicing the same hero. There are much better games, skip this…”

“A great roguelike with variety of characters, dungeons and play styles. Great to play in co-op with complementing characters. The art style and narration are sweet and set the mood perfectly.”

“I really liked the storytelling and progression. Playing as an entire family of heroes, each with unique abilities, gives the game real emotional weight. The narrative unfolds as you play, making every run feel…”
“Lovely game, lovely visuals, and a charming tale of a family uniting against a common struggle. Children of Morta is a roguelite with many endearing factors that continue to make you see the story through to it's end,…”
“Having purchased this at a heavy discount, this is an easy recommendation - the family-skill mechanic is a great concept and the look and feel of the game delivered the experience I wanted. I played both solo and co-op,…”

“First few missions were fine, by the midpoint of the game the flaws start to show. Enemies that are mechanically janky, holes in the map texture, and repetitive gameplay that gets stale.”
“It's a fine game, but its not a great game. I think if the aesthetics and vibe of it appeal to you personally then it might take you from fine to good and beyond. Visually the game is interesting at first but as it goes…”
“I've been giving this a go for a little while now and I think it really isn't all that great. A lot of the characters feel meh and a couple feel decent. The roguelite elements feel tacked on and I'd prefer most of them…”

“Meh, would pay $10 max. It does not seem like the devs spent much time debugging or making the essential mechanics smoother. Incorrectly placed textures, bad hitboxes, upgrades are very boring. Feels rushed.”
“Rogue-like or rogue-lite action game (randomly generated dungeon crawler). I recommend if you like the genre and have nothing better to play. There are definitely better games in the store, but they also cost more. The…”
“Beautiful game with beautiful naratives and ambience. It's really optimized for non-gaming oriented device. The only downside is the fatigue system (because of my skill issue ofc)”

“Ok game but the storyline is a bit underwhelming. If you like HacknSlash & Rogue it is your game.”
“First, I want to say that I bought this game while it was on sale for 5 bucks. With that said, I'm glad I bought it on sale. I absolutely love roguelike games as well as dungeon crawling. The gameplay is fun, being able…”

“I honestly don't really like games like this and at first I was pretty skeptical about it not being any different from other roguelike games but wow! It definitely pulls you in and I'm absolutely invested in finding out…”
“Okay honest opinion? This game is amazing in my eyes. The art style is beautiful, the gameplay is honestly kinda addicting. The only thing i dont like is that this game is designed to kill you i mean its fun but eatch…”

“Bit grindy and meh in single player but a joy in co op mode which it seems designed for. Some complaints with the very end of the story but overall the writing is solid if not spectacular. Visual style and music is excellent. Strong presentation.”
