Critic Reviews for Morsels
Morsels is an ambitious indie roguelite that just doesn't deliver. The game shines with a distinctive aesthetic identity, but between shockingly unclear mechanics, poor game balance, and unsatisfying moment-by-moment gameplay, it otherwise has little to offer.
I'm happy to give any roguelike or lite a try to see if it hooks me, and after successfully completing my first run, I knew that my stomach was already full of Morsels. If you enjoy its gross, purposefully ugly style and love everything run-based, you'll probably get a kick out of Morsels. In such an oversaturated genre, there are plenty more appetizing offers to satiate your hunger.
Despite its unique setting, excellent soundtrack, and original ideas, Morsels loses much of its fun by explaining almost nothing about its mechanics and excessively punishing players who insist on trying to understand them.

Morsels delivers a charming, retro-tinged roguelite experience with fresh run-shaping mechanics and solid action, only slightly held back by sparse explanations and occasional technical hiccups.

Morsels is a game marked by boldness and creativity, featuring charismatic characters and a world full of secrets, but it's hindered by confusing systems and excessive punishments that disrupt the flow of the experience, even alienating experienced players. While it hides interesting potential behind its eccentricities, it requires patience and persistence to be fully appreciated. With adjustments to balancing, clearer mechanics, and reduced punishments, Morsels could be much more brilliant, but as it stands, it’s a unique yet limited journey, best suited for those seeking unconventional experiences and willing to deal with its challenges.
