A Decent Indie Effort with Room to Grow
If you're looking for a quick, low-stakes experience, Mortanis Prisoners isn't a bad way to spend an afternoon—provided you go in with the right expectations. It feels very much like a small-scale passion project, and while it has its charms, there are some significant pacing issues that keep it from being a "must-play" at full price.

The Breakdown:
The Pacing: The movement speed is a major hurdle. The "run" button basically just gets you to a standard walking speed, and the regular walk is painstakingly slow. Without a jump mechanic, traversing the environment can feel like a bit of a chore.

The Challenge: To put it bluntly, it's very easy. The enemies don't offer much in the way of engagement or threat, and you’ll likely breeze through the content without much resistance.

Gameplay & Feel: It’s a slow-burn experience. While it’s not "bad," it definitely needs more polish on the enemy variety and player mobility to make the gameplay loop feel truly rewarding.

Final Thoughts:
I’m not mad I bought it, and I’m not mad I played it—I actually knocked out 100% of the achievements in about 5 hours. It’s a fine little project, but it’s hard to recommend at a higher price point.

Pro Tip: Limit yourself from picking this up until it’s under $5. At that price, it’s a fair trade for a few hours of gameplay.

I would only recommend if it's at a good sale price. Is a short game, easy to get 100% achievements if that's your thing.
