First Impressions

According to HowLongToBeat dot Com, an average play through will take about 13 hours. I’m in at around 5 hours total this week after playing about half of that as a single player and the other half as a couch co-op partner (thanks Ethan!)

Most of my time was spent hacking and slashing through the dungeons of Morta as John Bergson and occasionally as Linda Bergson while getting to know the rest of the Bergson clan through story with the promises of unlocking more playable Bergson’s as I progress.

I leveled up my Warrior John and Archer Linda during my battles but I also collected “Morv” (looks like gold to me) to take back to the Bergson’s family home to upgrade our family attributes. Progressing all the characters at once.
