The free Family Trials update for Children of Morta is now available on your favorite gaming platform.

Chop your way through perilous dungeons, complete objectives, and construct the ultimate character build to purge the Corruption once again

Warsaw, Poland - April 7th, 2021 — Children of Morta's biggest update yet is now live on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Family Trials is a combat-focused game mode and all users can now hop into the fast-paced action for free. Children of Morta is an action-RPG hack-n-slash produced by Dead Mage and published by 11 bit studios.

Zyklus, a unique and abnormal dungeon located somewhere in the world of Rea, is a central part of the Family Trials mode. Zyklus is affected by world-consuming Corruption. Its rapidly changing rules and environments mean that upon entering the dungeon you may never be fully prepared for the mortal dangers that lay ahead. 

Family Trials is separated from the story-focused main game mode. It offers new systems, items, character build possibilities, and more - all set in a series of completely randomized dungeons. It also brings a new challenge to the game - most of your progress is lost when you die - so you better learn from your mistakes!

Family Trials Mode:

• Objectives - Complete main objectives and optional side-objectives to advance to the next floor.  Objectives vary from protecting the Rea Laborers from waves of enemies to fighting in the arena to surviving the flood of corrupted adversaries, and more!
• Additional difficulty levels - Unlock two additional difficulty levels: Hard and Insane. The higher difficulty, the more levels you have to beat!
• Character builds - Experiment with your character builds and learn from your mistakes to best your consecutive dungeon runs.
• Each level is a new adventure - Levels are completely randomized each time you enter the dungeons.
• It's the whole family - All Bergson family members and their active abilities are available from the very beginning.

New systems, items and features:

• The Skill Tree is replaced with a new Talent System - Each time a character levels up, they get to choose a new Talent.
• Runes no longer drop in the dungeons - They become a part of the Talent System instead. 
• Divine Relics and Divine Graces have two additional power tiers - You can upgrade them in the special shop or find them in dungeons. 
• Item upgrades vary from simple stat boosts to additional special traits unlocked for each item.
• 40 talents per character - Stack upgrades and modifications for your skills and passives to dominate your enemies.
• In-game deeds with special rewards to help you survive Family Trials. Complete them to start your run with bonus HP, instant level up, extra gemstones, or even free items.
• Gem shards work as the main currency in Family Trials mode - Use them in the new shop to gamble for rewards, upgrade your equipment, and buy new shinies.

From the moment I first loaded up Children of Morta I was pleasantly surprised; I don't play many indie games so to play one as deep as this one with a fantastic story that is superbly narrated was a pleasure. The voice acting of the narrator was top notch and professional, the music score was atmospheric and inspirational, and the game play was as good as any hack and slash game out there. There were a few issues with narration cutting out before finishing but apart from that you can't go wrong with Children of Morta, it's an indie game that is up there with the best of them and it is sure to keep you busy for hours upon hours especially if you are the type of gamer that enjoys a good grind.

Long-awaited Action RPG Children of Morta Lands on PCs Today!

Stand together with this extraordinary family of heroes

Warsaw, Poland - Sept. 3rd, 2019 — Developer Dead Mage and Publisher 11 bit studios are excited to announce that Children of Morta has launched today for PC after five years of creative development. Available now for $21.99 USD (21,99€) players can pick up the game on Steam, GOG.com, Humble Store, Green Man Gaming, and others. The console version will debut next month on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch launching on October 15th. This pixel-art painted RPG with vigorous action tells a remarkable story, not about one warrior, but a family of heroes - the Bergsons - and their bonds of love, courage, and sacrifice.

Children of Mortasets its story in a distant land but copes with themes closer to our daily lives than one would expect. It's a tale of simple emotions that we all know and value more than we sometimes dare to admit: love and hope, longing and uncertainty, and the loss and sacrifice we are willing to make to save the ones we care the most for. The rogue-lite action plays an important role in the gameplay, but Children of Morta is not a story about saving the universe. It's a story about a valiant family standing together while the world around them is being devoured by darkness.

Children of Morta is about:

• FAMILY TIES as the Bergsons strengthen them and themselves when fighting.
• INHERITED TALENTS as each family member has different backgrounds and expertise, shaping them into a diverse group of Guardians.
• ANCESTRAL WISDOM of Grandma Margaret and Uncle Ben - the seer and blacksmith of the family. They upgrade the family's gear and boost main attributes.
• MYSTICAL MOUNTAIN as a place full of history, legends, and magic. Delve into the mountain itself and unravel the mysteries inside.
• AN EVER-CHANGING WORLD as the touch of corruption makes every forest, dungeon, or temple different each time you explore and skirmish through them.
• A UNIQUE ART STYLE that is a combination of hand-painted pixel art and frame-by-frame animations paired with modern lighting techniques.

Children of Morta will be released today - Capsule Computers has reviewed this rogue-like:

Children of Morta Review

Children of Morta is a roguelite, using pixelart graphics, where you play with members of the same family to root out the evil that plagues Mount Morta. I've had the opportunity to play this game at Gamescom and ask some questions about it.

Children of Morta is a roguelite game that tries to be different from other games in the genre. One way the developers did that is by using pixelated graphics, but they also made the game very story driven and you are playing with the members of the same family. The Bergson family has lived near and watched over the mystical Mount Morta for a long time, but recently corruption has spread in the mountain and it is up to the family to fight the corruption and get Mount Morta back to its former state. The story will take you through mount Morta all the way to the top, where the story is concluded. Along the way you will have the option to play many side quests as well.

The home of the family acts as a hub where you can upgrade items and the family skills. The developers want players to use all the playable characters in the family and switch between them. This is why they have invented the family skills, which are skills that are available to everyone in the family. These are skills that are not class specific and most of them are passive skills as well, like swiftness, armor and base attack damage. So, even if you have not taken a character with you for some time, that character will still get the family skills automatically. Each character has also its own set of active skills that are based on the class of the character. 

The roguelike RPG Children of Morta will launch on the 15th of October.
