Children of Morta
Guide the Bergson family through procedurally generated dungeons in a story-driven action roguelite with local and online co-op.
Overview
Children of Morta
Children of Morta is a pixel-art action RPG built around the Bergsons, a family of seven heroes defending their homeland from a spreading corruption. Its randomized expeditions, run-altering items, and family-wide progression make it a roguelite, while its voiced campaign gives the repeated runs a strong narrative throughline. Two players can play together locally or online on Switch.
The Nintendo Switch version released on November 20, 2019. Its standard U.S. eShop price is $21.99; check the store for current sales. The locally stored image is official Nintendo Store artwork.
