About the Game
A rogue-lite action RPG where you lead a whole family of heroes through procedurally generated dungeons against the Corruption.
Children of Morta is an action RPG with a rogue-lite approach to character development, blending action-adventure RPG, rogue-lite and hack and slash gameplay. Instead of controlling a single hero, you lead the Bergsons, a whole family with all their flaws and virtues, against the forthcoming Corruption.
The core loop revolves around dungeons. Every dungeon is procedurally generated, so its layout changes with each adventure, and each one has two to four levels ending in a unique boss fight. You hack through hordes of enemies, and you can return to earlier dungeons to collect extra XP or finish side quests. There is no permadeath, and you can swap family members between dungeon runs. Leveling up develops both the individual characters and the entire family, so progress feels shared rather than tied to one hero.
The story takes place in a distant land and focuses on themes that are easy to relate to: love and hope, longing and uncertainty, loss, and the sacrifices people are willing to make for the ones they care about most. At its heart, it is about a family of heroes standing against the encroaching darkness.
What stands out is the variety within the family. Ranged attacks, magic spells, blocks, stuns, healing, evasions and passive skills all sit on the table to discover and upgrade. The art style combines hand-painted pixel art with frame-by-frame animation and modern lighting, and both local co-op and online co-op let you tackle the Corruption alongside friends.
Feature Highlights
- Seven family members, from the sword-and-shield father John to the healer and defender Apan, each with a unique skill set to unlock and upgrade.
- Procedurally generated dungeons with two to four levels mean the layout changes with each adventure, and every dungeon ends in a unique boss fight.
- There is no permadeath, and you can change family members between dungeon runs while you level up the whole family.
- Online co-op lets you team up with a long-distance friend in both Story and Family Trials modes, and local co-op is available as well.
- Hand-painted pixel art, frame-by-frame animations and modern lighting give the world its beautifully dangerous look.
- Steam Cloud, Steam achievements, full controller support and Remote Play on phone, tablet and TV are all listed on the store page.
Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
If you enjoy hack-and-slash combat with light RPG progression, and you like runs where every dungeon feels different, this is a strong pick. Players who enjoy building a team of distinct characters and experimenting with different playstyles will find plenty to try, and the co-op options make it a good choice to play with a friend.
Not Recommended For
If you want a single, tightly scripted hero and a fixed plot to follow, the procedural dungeons and family-based progression may feel loose. The store description frames the story mostly through themes and emotions rather than a detailed plot, so players who want a narrative-heavy adventure may want to look elsewhere.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Children of Morta holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, which is 極度好評 on the Taiwan store, with 88 percent of its reviews being positive. The game has tens of thousands of reviews, which gives that percentage a solid and dependable base.
A rating in this range usually means that most players who spent time with the game came away satisfied, although a high percentage does not guarantee that it will suit your taste. Small review counts can swing sharply, but with a volume this large the score is a fairly reliable signal. Before you buy, it is worth reading a few recent reviews on the Steam page to see whether the combat and run-based structure appeal to you.

Our record shows that the game is discounted sometimes rather than constantly, and we have not recorded any free-to-keep period for it. Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative and may change as more data comes in.
For now, NT$ 56 is a strong discount from the regular price and a good deal for a game with this review profile. If you can wait, the lower NT$ 37 we recorded suggests there is room for the price to dip again, so adding it to your wishlist and watching for a sale is a reasonable approach.
