What Should I Play Now?

Children of Morta

Image: Steam / Dead Mage

  • Roguelite
  • Action RPG
  • Co-op

An action RPG with randomised dungeons that follows the Bergsons, guardians of Mount Morta against the Corruption: you switch between seven, each with their own style; every few levels they boost the whole family, and overusing one tires them out.

Why play it now

When you fancy playing as a pair: it supports two-player co-op, on the same screen or online.

Who it's for

For anyone after a roguelite with a narrated story: there's no permadeath and the campaign has an ending.

When not to pick it

If repetition wears you down: one review found levels follow the same pattern and the middle stretch drags.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 90 out of 100
  • Story: 60 out of 100
  • Exploring: 35 out of 100
  • Thinking: 35 out of 100
