Children of Morta

Thank you for addressing the attack joystick issue! The 1st update appears to have completely resolved the issues I was experiencing with it. There is still a delay in the audio (around 500ms if I had to guess) that is only really noticeable on the 1st and last attack. Thankfully the game doesn’t really rely on audio cues so this isn’t a deal breaker, but can be a little off putting at times. Beyond this, I’ve been having an absolute blast with the game and highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys roguelites. The narration is a great touch and makes the story compelling, which tends to lack in this genre.

Coming from someone who has ADHD (inattentive type), I really appreciate games like this. There’s no in app purchases, or paywalls. And the game is always introducing something new (but not in an overwhelming way). There is very little reading involved, as the game has excellent voice actors, and the controls are clean, customizable, and straight forward. I don’t hate reading, but it can sometimes cause progression paralysis. Conveniently, there is a section of the menu with lots of Lore for when I do feel like reading! I’ve played this game on Switch, Mac via Steam, and I’ve crowdfunded the board game (on TTS). It has an engaging story that pushes the player forward even if they “fail’ a run, and will often introduce something new that helps the player- such as new characters, pets, and side quests. The dungeons are randomly generated so you will get a different layout each time. The combat is top notch, the animation is smooth, and the fantasy cyber pixel art style of the expansive looking backgrounds are breathtaking. The characters all play very differently from one another which adds even more to the replayability. As the characters “level up” they also create synergy between them and the other characters… The voice acting is above and beyond. The narrator will chime in on things on every run, which really adds to the experience. The characters have charming and appropriate grunts and yells. With enemies you can often hear them off screen. And the special abilities sound LOTR style epic. *Bonus!* - multiplayer is coming in a future update!

The game is going great so far. I dig the theme and art style, as well the simplified gameplay. However, there are couple of suggestions i would recommend as of right now. First, the audio cue is a bit delayed. The sound effects of the attacks are a bit delayed and I would only hear it at the end of the attack. Second is that the auto aiming is a bit wonky. I don’t know if this intentional or not, but if its intentional then I would it be fix in order to be more consistent. Third, the fps is a bit low. It isn’t something that puts me off the most, as the game still runs smooth, but it could be better. Overall, the game is solid and would be even better with a couple of fixes and improvements down the road
