Introduction
About This Game
It Runs in the Family
Children of Morta is a story-driven action RPG that blends fast-paced hack-and-slash combat with rogue-lite elements. But instead of following a lone hero, you fight alongside the entire Bergson family—each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and deeply personal motivations.
Venture into procedurally generated dungeons, forests, and ancient ruins, battling swarms of corrupted creatures as you uncover the history of this heroic lineage. As the darkness spreads, it's up to the Bergsons to stand together and push back against the corruption threatening their world.
Key Features
🌐 Online & Local Co-op
Team up with a friend whether they're on the couch next to you or across the world. Online co-op (now available in both Story and Family Trials modes) lets you fight side by side against the encroaching darkness. Local co-op is also fully supported.
⚔️ Deep, Dynamic Gameplay
Mixing RPG progression, rogue-lite randomness, and hack-and-slash combat, each dungeon dive is different. Level up your favorite family members, unlock new abilities, and build a stronger lineage. While each run is unique, death isn’t permanent—you'll come back stronger every time.
📖 A Story of Love, Loss, and Legacy
Set in a fantastical yet familiar world, Children of Morta tells a deeply emotional tale about family, sacrifice, and the bonds that hold us together. The narrative explores universal themes—hope, grief, courage—and weaves them into every battle and moment between.
🌀 Procedural Dungeons
Every dungeon layout is randomly generated, ensuring no two runs are the same. Face off against challenging enemies and bosses, gather rare loot, and return to face even greater trials. Each dungeon holds secrets, side quests, and powerful relics waiting to be discovered.
👨👩👧👦 A Cast of Playable Heroes
Choose from seven unique family members:
John – the sword-and-shield protector.
Linda – a master archer with precise aim.
Kevin – fast and lethal with twin daggers.
Lucy – a bold young mage who controls fire.
Mark – a nimble martial artist.
Joey – wields a giant hammer with devastating power.
Apan – a healer and spiritual defender who rounds out the family.
Each character has their own style, skill tree, and playability—letting you switch up your strategy as you progress.
🎨 A Living Pixel World
Gorgeous hand-crafted pixel art meets modern visual effects to create a world that's vibrant, atmospheric, and rich in detail. From glowing caverns to eerie woods, every area is a visual treat layered with emotional depth.
✅ A Completed Journey with Continued Support
The development roadmap is now complete, bringing with it a wealth of free updates—including new characters, items, systems, and Online Co-op support. Whether you’re playing for the first time or returning for more, Children of Morta continues to evolve.
Children of Morta isn’t just about defeating monsters—it’s about the people who stand together in the face of overwhelming odds. This is a tale of courage, connection, and finding strength in those closest to you.
