This all plays over a short scene, be it the Bergsons debating at the family table, or introducing the next playable character. This is one of the game’s best features, as the deep, soothing tones of the narrator tells us the story of each family member, or of the world’s history, or how the corruption seeks to take over even the Bergsons’ land. All the while, much like Heroes of Hammerwatch, gathering gold that will help you to improve the family’s chances of success in the next run.īetween runs, whether you’re successful or not, the story will move forward in some way. This is because you will find yourself dying and replaying the opening dungeon many times, learning how each of the first two characters play and how the game’s mechanics work. It’s also the reason why Children of Morta can be a fairly repetitive experience, especially in the opening hours of the game. The corruption is always changing the landscape, which means that no two dungeon delves will ever be the same. This will change the layout of a dungeon, however. You can spend gathered gold (known as Morv) to improve your weapons and armour at the family blacksmith, before heading back into danger.


The Bergson family members don’t die however, instead being snatched from the jaws of death by a magical force, returning them to their family home at the base of the mountain. Children of Morta is somewhere between Diablo and Hammerwatch, as you run around each area, battling and dodging your way through the various monsters and critters that block your way. This is largely done through delving into dungeons and cutting a swathe through the evil that infests the mountain’s regions. The Bergsons must discover the source of the corruption and bring peace back to their mountain. Animals are dying, replaced by monstrous creatures, and an inky darkness is covering the forests and neighbouring areas. The family’s old seer cannot speak to the god of the mountain and a sickness has begun to corrupt the surrounding lands.
