Children of Morta
Children of Morta is an action RPG with a rogue-lite approach to character development, where you don’t play a single character – but a whole, extraordinary family of heroes. Hack’n’slash through hordes of enemies in procedurally generated dungeons, caves and lands and lead the family of Bergsons, with all their flaws and virtues, against the forthcoming Gameplay-wise it's a unique mix of action-adventure RPG, rogue-lite and hack and slash game. By leveling up, you develop not only individual characters but also the entire family. There is no permadeath and you can change family members between the dungeon runs. The story takes place in a distant land but copes with themes and emotions common to all of us: love and hope, longing and uncertainty, ultimately loss… and sacrifice we are willing to make to save the ones we care the most for. Ultimately, it's about a family of heroes standing against the encroaching darkness.

This is a game in which a real soul was invested. The atmosphere here is not just worked out, it lives, breathes, plunges with the head. The story touches to the depths, just beautiful, integral and sincere work!

On the surface, it's like any other roguelike dungeon crawler - level up your characters as you go through the levels, gradually making your way from one area to the next. And it does that fantastically. Every character plays differently, and you can pick the ones you like the best to level up, or go all out and level up them all. If this game didn't have a story and was just *this*, it would still be worth playing.
But the story. And the world. And the characters. Hot damn. I would watch a movie about this game's world. I'd watch a series of movies. I'd subscribe to a streaming service that has nothing else on it that I care about if it had a TV show based on this game. I'd cosplay as the kid with the knives who has the same name as me.
This is one of my favorite games ever and 70% of it is because of the world, the story, and the characters. I can't recommend this one enough.

Basically Pixar's Incredibles but Roguelike, Co-op and in a different world. Seriously a rare Gem of a game.

Find it really enjoyable to play on a steam deck! Game is great! It encourages you to use all the characters and the storyline is quite special. Audio is immersive! Art style is nice too!

Seriously forgot how good this game is. I originally played it on the Switch. I think it may have been one of the first Roguelites I ever played, too; just didn't know it at the time.
This game is a masterpiece. Everything from the art style to the different styles of combat you get to experience, from character to character. I see almost 50 people on my friends list have played this game, too.

Great game, but there are some tough scenes if you're sensitive to animal cruelty.

Me and my friends really enjoyed playing this together and the Persian voice-acting was actually pretty good. There were some bugs here and there but nothing major. Would definitely recommend its a lot of fun.
