What is Children of Morta?

An action RPG and roguelite, it sends the Bergson family through procedurally generated dungeons in solo, local co-op, or online co-op. You fight groups of enemies, develop individual heroes and family-wide abilities, and face bosses while opposing the spreading Corruption. There is no permadeath, and you can switch family members between runs.

For you if...

  • +you want local or online co-op dungeon runs
  • +you enjoy switching among heroes with distinct combat styles
  • +you value story-driven roguelites with family-focused progression

Not for you if...

  • −you quickly tire of repeated dungeon runs and grinding
  • −you dislike combat centered on cooldowns, dodging, and kiting
  • −you expect substantial variation between procedural dungeon runs
