A Family Worth Fighting For One of the finest examples of how roguelites can tell a truly heartfelt story. After completing every chapter and watching the Bergsons' journey unfold, Children of Morta proved that family can be just as compelling a weapon as any sword or spell. 9/10 Pros: + A Family Story with a Soul: Children of Morta proves that roguelites can tell deeply emotional stories. The Bergsons aren't just a roster of playable characters—they're a believable family, and every victory, loss, and quiet moment strengthens your connection to them. Combined with the narrator's warm, storybook delivery, the journey feels surprisingly intimate and unforgettable. + A World Rich in Beauty and Iranian Mythology: From its breathtaking pixel art and atmospheric soundtrack to its thoughtful use of Iranian mythology, Children of Morta builds a fantasy world that feels truly unique. Rather than treating mythology as decoration, it weaves its symbols, creatures, and inspirations naturally into the adventure, giving the game an identity that stands apart from traditional fantasy settings. Cons: - Repetition Eventually Creeps In: Like many roguelites, repeated dungeon runs can begin to feel predictable after long sessions. The variety of characters helps, but it doesn't completely eliminate the sense of repetition. - Not Every Bergson Gets Their Moment: While every member of the Bergson family is memorable, a few receive noticeably less narrative focus than others. Certain personal stories feel like they end just as they begin to become truly interesting. Final Thoughts: Children of Morta is far more than another roguelite—it's a heartfelt family story wrapped in beautiful pixel art and satisfying combat. It may stumble in a few areas, but its emotional core makes it an unforgettable experience. (A heartfelt roguelite that proves the strongest weapon isn't a sword—it's family.)

Children of Morta ended up being one of the more memorable action roguelites I've played, largely because of its focus on family and storytelling. The Bergson family feels genuinely connected, and the narrator's voice is absolutely perfect for the game's tone. His storytelling adds warmth and emotion to nearly every moment and elevates the entire experience. The combat is fun and engaging throughout. I played the entire campaign on Normal difficulty and found it appropriately challenging at times without ever becoming frustrating. I leveled every playable character to at least level 16 or 17 and enjoyed using all of them. Each family member feels distinct, giving the game a nice variety of playstyles. The talent progression is fairly simple, which I actually appreciated. There are some nuances and optimization opportunities, but I never felt the need to min-max my builds to succeed on Normal difficulty. Story: 10/10 The story is the standout feature. It's not an especially long game, but the campaign is consistently enjoyable, and the side content adds worthwhile moments with the family. I didn't complete every side mission, but I tackled many of them and never felt like I was wasting my time. Charm and Characters: 10/10 The Bergson family is incredibly charming, and the game's emotional moments land because you spend so much time with them. My one minor criticism involves the DLC character. While they're introduced initially, they don't really participate in the ongoing story scenes or narrator segments afterward. It's far from a major issue, but it does make the character feel somewhat disconnected from the family. Overall, Children of Morta combines satisfying combat, excellent narration, and a genuinely heartfelt story into a memorable experience. If you enjoy action roguelites but want something with strong characters and emotional storytelling, it's easy to recommend.

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 Bergsons. Every time you complete a run, a new cutscene emerges and tells you about the story. The new family members come into play as you progress through the game with each having their own skills and abilities. I cannot really say much about the combat, it's kinda feels blank. But still, defeating enemy hordes feels fun. The game is actually designed to be played as coop, but I've managed to finish the main story in 18 hours completely solo. Beating dungeons and progressing levels felt really entertaining especially when I had a good run. The game lacks some overall content. There could be more skills or character customization but I think it still holds up well. There were some great moments in the story, especially when a new event affecting the whole family emerges or a new family member comes into play. All of the pixel art animations and cutscenes look fantastic and emotional many times. Overall, I think Children of Morta is a good rogue like with a GREAT story that keeps you in play. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a great story like that.
