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

Dead Mage belts three home runs: one for the story, another for the action, and the last for the deep and interesting RPG elements

A gorgeous roguelike dungeon crawler that remains compelling and exciting throughout, despite a lot of grinding.

A lot of love and time has gone into Children of Morta, and the level of polish and complexity across its narrative and gameplay make it one of the most interesting roguelites to date. The difficulty curve and relative brevity of its story may put some off, but Children of Morta is a beautifully crafted, polished roguelite that deserves your attention.

Children of Morta takes the mechanics from the roguelike genre but manages to craft a trully narrative experience. An unique game that offers fun gameplay mixed with an emotional story full of heart. One of the greatest surprises of 2019 so far.

Children of Morta is an excellently designed action RPG that hosts some well refined dungeon crawling elements.

Children of Morta is a fun but derivative, stylish and elegant story driven roguelite. Although the setting is quite usual, the story of the Bergsons family is heartwarming and moving, and that makes this game quite unique.

Like Seraph before it, part of the enjoyment with Children of Morta lies not just in cleverly rampaging through wave after wave of foe, but also in the relief of surviving the ordeal through a measured balance of skill and strategy.
