- “The gameplay is very repetitive and doesn't really carry too much weight to it.”

The music in the game has received widespread acclaim for its quality and ability to enhance the atmosphere, with many players praising its unique and engaging tracks. However, a common criticism is that the music is often sparse, cutting out during exploration and only playing prominently during boss fights or specific moments, which can detract from the overall experience.

- “The music was great and felt very well tied into the worlds.”
- “I especially love the music, and I feel like it hits the nail on the head on setting the mood for every level.”
- “The music is excellent and perfectly sets the mood wherever it plays.”
- “The environments of Mohrta are rich and visually appealing, but besides some background noise (wind blowing, water splashing, birds chirping...), the areas are overly quiet and dull without even a small amount of background music, let alone combat music for combat.”
- “However, I wish the music was used way more in this game, cause I played through most of the game in complete radio silence and only hearing the music at boss fights or rarely during random moments, it gives it that eerie and creepy vibe to it which I do not think it is trying to achieve.”
- “The soundtrack, while serviceable, rarely elevates the action.”

- “But some character designs just feel slightly too horny.”
- “Morhta is alive with color, atmosphere and scumhead's (and osiol's) signature weird, sometimes medieval-ish-fantasy, sometimes-steampunk style, with various odd and grotesque character designs, eldritch locales, alien plant life, stylish weaponry and of course, strange, topless women that range from dancers and helpful guides to bosses trying to kill you.”
- “The character designs alone have a lot to say, and that's not even touching the world designs, and I'm sure that there's a lot of heart and love behind it too.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many players reporting severe performance issues, including stuttering and frame rate drops, particularly in specific levels. While some users experienced stable performance, the overall consensus indicates that the game struggles with technical limitations, leading to a frustrating experience for many. Players are advised to wait for patches and optimizations before diving in, as the current state can detract from the enjoyment of the gameplay.
- “For anyone interested in this game, I say give it a go. The performance on my computer was stable the whole way through, and the only real mechanical problem I had was a late area NPC's pathing that broke, which I fixed with a little bit of no clipping.”
- “I read that some people were having performance issues, but I can’t talk about that because the game always ran perfectly for me.”
- “There can be some varying performance (sometimes pinned at 200fps, other times bouncing around 70-130fps), but that hasn't taken much out of my enjoyment even though I can be a framerate snob.”
- “Performance is abysmal for what this game is; you notice some cracks forming in the very first level after getting to the hub, but by the time you're at 3-1, the game is crashing down to sub-30 FPS.”
- “Unfortunately, like many of the FromSoftware games that this takes influence from, Mohrta has absolutely abysmal optimization.”
- “Even on modern hardware, I experienced a lot of stuttering issues that couldn't be fixed by changing rendering APIs or whatever.”

replayability

The game offers moderate replayability primarily through its multiple endings and upgrade system, which encourages players to experiment with different weapon choices and playstyles. While some players find satisfaction in a single playthrough, the option to explore various endings and the potential for speedrunning add layers of replay value. However, the linear progression and limited upgrade paths may deter those seeking a significantly different experience in subsequent playthroughs.
- “The multiple endings approach is a good one since it creates replayability based on some factors like side quests, also creates the possibility to explore the storyline further in a potential sequel.”
- “There are multiple endings you can go for if you wish, as far as I'm aware you can't upgrade every weapon in the same playthrough, so that also adds some replayability.”
- “There are four endings to the game, which add to the replayability and I also found it to be a fun game to try to speedrun.”
- “While there is some replay value in it, it's mostly just what you choose to upgrade and in what order you complete the game; it won't drastically change your experience.”
- “I mean, fine, hide the weapons that will be available (don't fool yourself, there's almost zero replayability despite the branching endings). This is an FPS with zero RPG elements and a linear progression.”
- “The game has some degree of replay value since the main way to get upgrade materials is to permanently destroy weapons you find in exchange for upgrade materials.”

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience.

- “Challenging enough to be engaging but not tedious, though the difficulty falls off after a bit as I received upgrades.”
- “The grind feels rewarding, as each level up brings a sense of accomplishment and progression.”
- “I appreciate how the game balances grinding with meaningful rewards, making each session feel worthwhile.”
- “It replicates some of the things that make the games it's inspired by kind of unfun to play, and as a result can be tedious and repetitive.”
- “Without a doubt this game is visually impressive and extremely atmospheric, combat is fun but gets extremely tedious towards the end with enemies becoming absolute bullet sponges.”
- “Ammo collection by breaking pots leads to a pretty tedious cycle where the game strongly encourages you to backtrack all the way back to the last checkpoint, and break some pots; fun, right?”

The humor in the game is characterized by its quirky elements, such as a cute doll that squeaks, a humorous cat-like character in armor, and amusing NPC dialogues that evolve with player achievements.

- “The story itself is also interesting, and it's worth talking to the different NPCs throughout the storyline, as they have dialogue that is funny, reveals lore, and changes throughout your achievements.”
- “In hindsight, it's funny that I clarified 'for reasons unknown,' and to give the game/dev credit, they do bring some amount of attention to it.”
- “And the fact that one of the biggest reasons she was added and designed the way she was, was just because she was hot is both hilarious and extremely awesome.”
