Children of Morta has all the ingredients to be the next great roguelike

Grandma Margaret has just gotta keep mixing! The term “roguelike” has been bastardized a bit and can cause some confusion at times, but I think most people can think of a few traits that always persist. Permadeath, randomized level design and possibly powerups, and tough difficulty are the “Big Three” when it comes to making assumptions about what a “roguelike” is in 2016.

Diablo III is blatantly better than Torchlight II

Diablo IIIlaunched a few scant months ago, but its PR snafus and controversial business decisions have soured a fair few players. Meanwhile, Runic Games has sat back and capitalized, as jilted dungeon crawlers look towardTorchlight IIand hail it as the answer to their prayers. Sadly, however, these poor misguided fools are as misguided as they are poor. They are also foolish. They are poor, misguided, and foolish because only a poor misguided fool who is foolishly misguided would be poor enough to considerTorchlight IIanywhere nearDiablo IIIin terms of asskickingness....
