Children of Morta is one of the special hidden gems belong to the previous generation, but the cooperative dungeon crawler was regrettably missing a much-requested feature: online play. Playing with a local friend has been great, but now you can finally play with distant friends – or maybe even a lover – this Valentine’s Day. Assuming you’re on a PC, that is.

Don’t worry, console players: the feature is coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch, but the Dead Mage developers don’t have a timetable for when that will happen. In a press release, the team said they want to ensure good online functionality on PC before rolling it out elsewhere.

In his review of the game, Editor-in-Chief Andrew Reiner wrote “I cannot stress how cleverly Children of Morta is made. The story flows smoothly in and out of the dungeons, the characters have real life to them, and the gameplay is engaging and has addictive qualities that make you just want to keep leveling people up. In the 15+ hours I’ve invested in this adventure, I’ve been completely captivated by everything Dead Mage set out to achieve. The way the family came together for the final conflict is truly impressive. ”
