    Despite its flaws, Children of Morta’s incredible story and generally enjoyable combat kept me coming back for more, and while the mid-section did drag, I still felt compelled to see the story through to the end.

    Children of Morta is a rewarding action RPG with a lot of heart, providing you can make it through its repetitive opening hours.

    Children of Morta is a a charming rogue-like with a some pretty good ideas and it's a true pleasure to follow Bergson's family in its very-well written quest.

    Those who prefer a good story even at the expense of inadequate game mechanics, will experience a different experience with the Bergson family, not revolutionary or particularly memorable, but nevertheless capable of making their mark.

    The Bergson's are charming but their quest is a bit too lifeless. A middling dungeon crawler elevated by its style.

    As with most things, Children of Morta will probably get some substantive updates in the coming months, but it currently pales in comparison to other action roguelikes and won’t hold most gamers’ attention for too long.

  1. My opinion of Children Of Morta has improved, and I can see it finding a happy audience. But if I wasn’t reviewing it I doubt I’d have got there. It leads with its worst foot and you have to grind for hours to drag the other one into the dance.

    Children of Morta is a beautiful dungeon-crawler, with underwhelming gameplay.
