Developer Dead Mage and publisher 11 bit Studios have just launched the Children of Morta Free Family Trials update, which is the biggest update in the game as of yet. The update is now available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
The update was announced alongside the Family Trials launch trailer, where it gave us a glimpse into the combat-focused game mode in this fast-paced game. Check out the trailer below:
Chop your way through perilous dungeons, complete objectives, and construct the ultimate character build to purge the Corruption once again
The central part of the Family Trials mode is Zyklus, a unique and abnormal dungeon that is located somewhere in the world of Rea. Marred by a world-consuming corruption, Zyklus is now filled with mortal dangers that lay ahead as you enter the dungeon. Its rapidly changing rules and environments mean that players will be facing quite many challenges waiting for them inside.
On the other hand, the Family Trials mode is separate from the story-focused main game mode. The new mode offers systems, items, character build possibilities, and more. All of this is set in a series of completely randomized dungeons. It also comes with a new mechanic which is a challenge itself, that is if you die, you lose all your progress and have to start over again. But nothing to fret about, as it is better to learn from your mistakes and try again.
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.
