This makes progression almost always a constant factor in some way. The power ups disappear, but elements like gold, experience, and skill unlocks stay. Once death happens, and it will, players are returned. Players will explore generated maps that change each run, with various power ups that last the duration of the run. Going to the basement and back to the various dungeons areas to progress the story. The rogue like element comes into play when upon player’s death, they are returned to the manor which serves as a hub and upgrade area. The story is weaved around this element as well because death doesn’t mean new elements won’t be discovered. Yet as the tale unfolds, more of the family become available, each with different attacks, skill trees, and leveling up. Starting off, players only have access to the father and daughter. The game really makes players care about what’s happening to the family and this is even implemented in the gameplay in subtle way. Weaving a fairy tale like narrative about a family struggling against and ancient evil worked on many levels. I liked it there and I love it here even more. What’s even more impressive is how the family members themselves are not voice acting, but a narrator describes and tells of their journey. Family here is a key component to the story and one that absolutely had me captivated. The corruption has spread across the land and it’s will take the entire family’s help to stop it. The story here is about the Bergson’s family and how they must endure a great sudden turmoil. Hours later, one thing became very clear: I adored this game, its story, and its progression system. Jumping into Children of Morta, like any game in this genre, had me a bit apprehensive. For my, it feels like all the work I’ve done amounts to nothing in a lot of ways. Each game with these elements and within this genre always seem to have varying degrees on how they work. Perhaps those gains come from learning a level or how to better handle enemies. Rogue-like games usually require some sort of replaying levels over and over with little gains. Admittedly that’s probably not the best way to start off a review of a game in the genre, but hear me out.
