    The most boring game of the 2019, just endless grind on spongy enemies with the most generic story possible.

    Pretty, but boring. Enemies are spongy, the game requires very low APM, and mostly consists of grinding. Whenever you lose it's because you went so far that you need to spend your earned currency for simple upgrades and go do the same thing and go a little bit further

    Just another overrated indie. Nothing to see here. Hopefully the voice acting will be enough to deter you before you experience the bare bones gameplay. Art is somewhat decent but nothing special.

    I really think the game has some potential, the family focus and the way the devs integrated that into the RPG elements of the game I thought was truly novel and brilliant. The game play is really fun if somewhat repetitive, and the story is thoughtfully written. The issue as to why my overall "meh" rating is really the pacing of the game, it gets super boring so quickly.

The game play is really fun if somewhat repetitive, and the story is thoughtfully written. The issue as to why my overall "meh" rating is really the pacing of the game, it gets super boring so quickly. They really only have 3 areas to play through/explore, with a ton of re-use and asset duplication. I get bored quickly because of how many times I have to play through the same levels. More time in development with a larger number of maps and enemies would have made the pace of the game much better. Hopefully this will change in the future with additional development… Expand

    It's pretty, but also very repetitive and mediocre. Nothing new happens after a few hours, and making you switch characters makes thing more tedious, if anything.

    You can't be serious with this game. The graphics alone are reason enough to abort pretty quickly.

    Very overrated from what i see in other reviews. I get everyone that felt nostalgia playing this and they did a good job on that, but after 1 hour, bored to death.

    I found no satisfaction in repeating the same dungeon and just smashing buttons.

    Я любитель пиксельный игр, но это игра совсем мимо моего сердечка.

    There are practices that 11 Bit Studios have adopted from their infancy. They release titles as full releases while in an Early Access state, along with abandoning any road maps or promises made to the purchasers of their title.

    It's a bad RPG, and a bad Rogue-like. No builds, no interesting gameplay, no interesting story. Another one overrated indie-game.

    great game design= family topic with mission and skills combined
    amazing music that remind me the peaceful childhood passed away
    sufficient contents which have seven characters to play and crucial mode to challenge.

    Buy this if you want to experience game rage because of terrible game design. Some damage is unavoidable no matter how smoothly you play and learn patterns and rhythm of enemies. Plot is ok but nothing special. Pixel art is stunning but that is the only good aspect of the game. Make art instead of games,

    Скучное дрочилово, которое даже кооп не спас для меня.
    Не говорю за другие аспекты, т.к мало их потрогал из-за духоты.

    Children of Morta is pieced together in such a way that no element feels out of place, and the wonderful roguelite gameplay is backed with a deep and emotional story that kept me engrossed until the very end.

    This simple story about the importance of family ties will definitely tug at your heartstrings — if not with words, then at least with beautiful pixel-perfect dungeons.

    Children of Morta presents a really amazing story about an adventuring family out to save the world. Its mix of Rogue-lite and RPG elements make it easily accessible to expert players and new players to this genre. And even with other massive titles, it is a great indie gem that you should have.
