    Wonderful game! A healthy mix of Dead Cells and Diablo. Even though it has rogue-like elements, you never lose your progress after each dungeon run, and every time you die, another chapter in the story is revealed. Incredibly well done-- if you are looking for an ARPG to scratch the Diablo/Path of Exile itch, this came is for you.

    I heard good things about this game, and those comments weren't wrong.
    Familiar roguelike structure but entwined with a plot and world setting that justifies kind of everything that happens in a beautiful way.

    So in short, play it if you have a chance, worth your time and you support to these devs!    … Expand

    Excellent game. Only a few hours in, and the narrator is giving Bastion a run for the money. Gameplay initially was somewhat stilted until I changed the button configuration. Team play is a fun mechanic, and I love the "Dad" buffs on John's character. It makes the tank character loveable and fun to play. Not a spoiler, but when the family's "bat cave" was revealed, it was sooooo cool.Excellent game. Only a few hours in, and the narrator is giving Bastion a run for the money.

    Loving this. It's like a little bit slower hyper-light drifter with 100% more storyline.    … Expand

    I don't like Rogue/Roguelite games and bought this game without realizing it, but I'm glad I did. The story elements and art style, as well as smooth gameplay and randomized dungeons really come together beautifully. Highly recommended.

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

    A fantastic roguelike dungeon crawler with lots of heart. Seeing story unfolding as you progress bit by bit is very well executed, doesn't feel too slow or too rushed. Narrator's voice makes it feel as if you're in an engaging childhood fantasy book. Possibly the best roguelike I have ever played.

    Для любителей старой доброй Diablo эта игра стала просто отдушиной. Эдакий островок тепла и уюта. Прошел с большим удовольствием. Но Геймплей сильно затянут, потому что рогалик и кач. Но все же процесс увлекает.

    I LOVE this game! An amazing rogue-like game! 11 Bit Studios finally published a new update for game and Persian language added (The Game developers native language). In my opinion this game is a must-play and you can enjoy a lot in it. The online co-op is still in progress but you can enjoy local co-op with your friend and family members. The story is also quite amazing!

    I'm usually not too big a fan of rogue-lites but this game really nails everything I like about them. There's actual progression, the art is beautiful, there's reason to play the different characters throughout the entire game. They weave the story wonderfully through the game. Just be aware that this won't be super long. I'll easily be getting 20-30 hours, some may get less some more.I'm usually not too big a fan of rogue-lites but this game really nails everything I like about them.

    Quando comecei a jogar, não esperava algo muito diferente de outros jogos do gênero e achei que deixaria o jogo de lado em algum tempo. Entretanto, enquanto a história avançava, tanto a jogabilidade quanto o estilo suave do jogo me surpreenderam e me fizeram considerar esta uma das melhores experiências dos últimos anos.

    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.
