I’ve always enjoyed games that turn the usual tropes on their head, where you’re not the typical hero slashing through enemies to save the world. Titles like CARRION or the Overlord series come to mind, and Mortholme fits perfectly into this niche.
The gameplay was incredibly enjoyable, especially as the "hero's learning curve" became more evident with every move we showcased from the available arsenal. It added a sense of progression that felt organic and engaging.
The interactive dialogue and story brought so much to the atmosphere. For a brief time, you could truly immerse yourself in the role of the "Final Boss," and even the "inevitable defeat" didn’t feel like a loss but rather a bittersweet ending of a great story.
10/10 – I definitely hope to see more games like this in the future. <3
