Children of Morta is a story-driven, hack ‘n slash game that combines a unique art style, procedural narrative events, and roguelike elements. The game has already achieved its $65,000 goal in its Kickstarter campaign with almost two weeks left to raise money, and over 2,000 backers have come together to support this exciting title. We’ve partnered with the game developers, Dead Mage, to bring you the premiere source for game-related information – The Official Children of Morta Wiki. Here, you’ll learn about the game’s creatures, items, potions, and much more.
The Bergson family lives on the outskirts of Mount Morta and have guarded the area around it for generations. When a tragic event corrupts the roots of life deep inside the mountain, the area’s creatures transform into possessed monsters. Now, the family must work together to find the seeds of life and cleanse the corruption. Game features include:
- Play as any Bergson family member – From a hammer-spinning warrior to a bow-wielding artist, each member of the Bergson family has their own unique skill set. Even the elder members of the family are able to contribute through potion making and weapon crafting.
- Encounter different levels each replay – The game’s levels are procedurally generated, so you’ll never have to traverse the same content twice.
- Experience narrative meets roguelike gameplay – While there is a major story arch in the game, procedural narrative events make each game unique and truly your own.
- Gather resources and craft gear – Uncle Ben is the Bergson family’s skilled craftsman, and he is able to create new weapons and armor that give family members new abilities. His workshop can even be upgraded to produce more crafting options.
The art style in Children of Morta is absolutely stunning. It blends 2D pixel art with modern lighting effects to create a world filled with fantasy and charm. The game’s music helps to shape an emotional atmosphere around different events and family members. These elements, tied in with interesting gameplay and a fantastic story, are what makes Children of Morta such an incredible game. To learn more about Children of Morta, view the story trailer below.
I’m very excited to experience Children of Morta for myself, and my hardest decision is deciding which Kickstarter backer tier I’d like to obtain. Backer gifts include posters, art books, and even hero skins.
