hello and greetings from Eastern Europe my name is Colbert HD and this is a
short review of a pixel art hack and slash RPG called children of morta enjoy
this game got my attention about a year ago when I was creating some lists of
upcoming pixel art games and the idea that I can do game reviews wasn't even
on the table but Here I am playing children of mortar and trying to be
sober enough to tell you the story so allegedly this is RPG with feelings
where you have a family and members of that family care for each other here you
will find nice narrative about family problems about their children but
actually all you want to do here is hack and slash the Schulte word shit out of
your enemies instead of listening how little artem got his first knife and how
his mother was against it and how he ran away and yeah I don't really remember
true name of the kids so I'll just call him Artyom those stories are nice but
let's be fair and square and triangle this is hack and slash game with
feelings have you seen movies like predator or
Rambo would you put a love story or drama elements in there how much vodka
do you have to drink to make a love story from Rambo that's rhetorical
question don't try to answer it with a practical experiment at home or try and
tell the story in the comment section so all this aside you can skip the story
parts but you don't want to you want to know what is happening so you watch them
and get bored the plot is nice I guess but it's a bit childish everything
sounds like a bedtime story and for me a 35 year old man this just
doesn't click pack and slash part is another story let's talk about that
instead that part I do like game is really beautiful one of the best made
pixel art games there are no doubt so the combat feels right and your sward
swings are satisfying to watch and to swing I guess but also the game is hard
I managed to die over and over again and I'm not really a total noob of the genre
I try to avoid enemies try to lure them in the bunch so I can strike them
together with my lightning power all in all I did everything average player
would do but I died anyway and after you die you in
idiot Lee have to watch a story you feel infuriated of the games unfairness and
they are speaking about areum and his problems
slowly stories are really taking their time and you just want to go back and
swing your sword again not listen to this not now so sooner or later you
start to skip and then go die again then skip the story die again then you don't
understand what's happening anymore but you don't really care how many of you
have listened and what Diablo 3 characters are really talking about I
didn't skip skip skip skip skip skip skip and then slash slash slash slash
slash by the way little are Tom's parents are worried when he disappeared
but that is illogical because when you die you go back safe and sound there is
nothing to worry about in this world like at all and by playing I realize
that you're supposed to die here because after that your experience is maintained
and you go back to the same dungeon stronger than before if you manage to
level up there of course by the way leveling up is pain because it's very
slow and whole process starts to feel like grinding sooner or later when I
died the first time with my level 2 character I try to pick another one
let's see how that went for me
not very well I guess and there was nothing I could do actually because this
character is still level one and I couldn't get through this dungeon with
even level two character maybe the keys here is that you can play with a friend
in co-op mode so while the warrior tanks the damage the shooter shoots I have
read the comments about that people are actually saying that cop part is great I
have no friends that would play this with me so I couldn't test it by playing
you acquire warrior skills that you can use like lightning I'm using also you
have a base where you can spend your gold for upgrades those work for the
entire family so if you manage to buy one with the money that warrior earned
little Artyom also gets all the benefits sadly there are no weapons armor or
other stuff drops your appearance is locked and you have to do all the
slashing with the same dirty sweater so what's the verdict for me personally
it's six vodkas out of ten but I can very easy imagine that for someone it
can be 10 vodkas out of 10 or rockiest or war bonds or whatever you drink in
your country to get better story is interesting if you're here for the story
if you just want to hack and slash like me maybe you want to buy another game
steam is filled with very positive reviews so this game might be a good
choice for you read them carefully before buying thank you for watching if
you click that like button I promise you will never ever in your life dream about
