I've been giving this a go for a little while now and I think it really isn't all that great.

A lot of the characters feel meh and a couple feel decent. The roguelite elements feel tacked on and I'd prefer most of them to just be built into the character upgrade paths. It seems like maybe the game initially didn't want this roguelite-ness to it but they added it to add some more playtime.

The issue with it is the enemy variety is pretty low and boss fights aren't great, so if you do more of any of it, it starts to run thin fast.

It's not a horrible game or anything but in the good ol year of 2026 there is better roguelites and likes, and there is better looter rpgs, which the game isn't really a looter rpg but its likened to it pretty often.

The pixel art looks really solid but it gets worse as you're zoomed in staring at them for a while. Everything is lacking in detail while simultaneously having a great picture-esque element to it. The voice acting and narration has been really really good. I would have liked to see that great effort expended on a better game.

The famous saying, if steam had a meh rating, it'd get a meh.

I really enjoyed this game. The characters and story are great

Children of Morta is such a fantastic game. The story, the gameplay, the soundtrack, the graphics... All are perfect. One of the best indie games I've played by far!
I played with my girlfriend in local co-op mode, and we had the best time ever.
