Children of Morta Offers Rogue-Like Action

Already stirring up the scene with its lovable pixel art style and exciting gameplay concept is Children of Morta , a Rogue-like RPG.

, a Rogue-like RPG. On Mount Morta, a corrupt god in a fit of rage has cursed the creatures of the land, mutating them into frenzied, rabid beings. Players assume the role of the Bergson Family, a group of guardians of the land who set out to fix the problem before it gets worse. Getting to the summit where the god lost his sanity proves difficult of course, and there will be legions of insane creatures to slow them down.

Choosing a member of the family who each has a different specialty or weapon (a little reminiscent of Legacy of the Wizard for the NES, if anyone here remembers that ancient relic), players set out to fight, hack, and slash their way through hordes of enemies lining up to take them down. PC, Mac, and Linux gamers can enjoy dungeon crawling and fighting all while experiencing an involved narrative that moves the story along like a dark cloud overhead. Still early in development, the game already has a defined art style that’s attracted many future players anxiously awaiting its Q3 release in 2015. A Kickstarter campaign is planned for launch next month in January, as the developers prepare more game content through the holidays.
