Tough as it is, CoM is simple enough to play with an older child. This adds a good challenge and dramatic tension to combat. This takes several seconds, during which you’re vulnerable to enemy attacks. You’re not supposed to ditch family! You can revive a dead partner by standing close to their body and holding a button. This isn’t a problem until one of you dies and the survivor can’t flee a mob of enemies they can’t handle alone. However, your characters cannot move further than a screen’s length apart. You can be doing your own thing during combat and survive just fine. In CoM, you don’t have to work closely with your partner as in Overcooked or other games requiring good coordination. This can be avoided by pressing a controller button when the main menu first appears. The problem would occur if I clicked a mouse button after the game booted up. (I was going to buy the Switch version of CoM but ran into a Steam sale.) A technical note: Initially, the game didn’t detect my PS4 controllers. I’ve been playing local co-op on the PC, using PS4 controllers hooked up via USB. Currently, online co-op isn’t available but developer Dead Mage plans to implement it. If you’d like to play local co-op on the Switch, you’ll need two pairs of Joy-Cons. It’s tough and grindy by design, but we got used to it and reaped the rewards over time. Now that my husband and I are close to the end of the game, having played for over 25 hours, we’re enjoying it more. But in the game’s opening hours, I wondered if I’d chosen the right game for my next co-op journey. I was drawn to Children of Morta (CoM) by three things: its beautiful pixel art, the idea of playing a family of fighters, and a promise that this roguelite would be narrative-driven.
