Once acquired, they can be equipped to provide a range of stat boosts. Blessings are granted as rare enemy drops or can be collected from the environment. The waypoints also allow you an opportunity to save your progress, fast travel and level up through the ‘Blessings’ system. The ‘Stone of Dibrom’ acts as your Estus Flask, providing a limited number of quick health boosts which must be replenished at by meditating at waypoints. Gameplay wise, Morbid is a souls-like through-and-through and fans of the genre will feel right at home with many of the mechanics on offer. When your surroundings are coated with a hearty layer of blood and guts, the isometric camera angle can make it quite difficult to differentiate between what is just yet another carcass and something actively trying to kill you. This is only worsened by the game’s focus on gore. The unfortunate side effect of such a strong direction and focus on colour consistency is that enemies can become hard to see at times. For a world shrouded in death, Mornia has just enough vibrancy to truly feel alive.
The inclusion of occasional bursts of colour, whether from the warm orange ambience of lanterns eerie green silence of cave-dwelling mushrooms or sinister red glow emitted by mysterious watching eyes, creates a fantastic contrast.
The game’s colour palette, which predominantly mixes muddy browns and murky greys, exudes an almost overwhelming ambience of death and decay. From rainy fishing hamlets to cramped caves and sprawling industrial areas the unique visual combinations of Gothic, Lovecraftian and Steampunk elements keeps each new environment feeling fresh.
Taking players to the dark fantasy realm of Mornia, Morbid: The Seven Acolytes is an indie souls-like adventure that manages to be just as memorable as it is macabre.Ī lot of the game’s memorability arises from its absolutely excellent art direction which makes Morbid’ s pixelated world an absolute treat to explore.
