Curse of the Dead Gods

There is a lot of marketing around "hard games" but this game is actually hard; and judging by the achievements and how small a percent of steam can reach the end, it seems others agree. It's a practice in misery, but man, the rush when you finally conquer it is unrivaled.

This game has a lot of fun aspects to it. Basically rogue adventure runs but you have traps that you can only see in the light, so you have to light enemies on fire, or have your torch or a shining type of weapon in hand or you won't see much. The curses are the fun part of the game. Each curse, except the final one, is a unique blend of positive and negative. And in some cases it might be a positive curse based on your style or your character build. The last one is always a harsh DOT, and not fun, but it takes a LOT to get to that point. More often you will die before that curse even triggers. Some of them remind me of Eternal Darkness' Sanity effects (which you should absolutely look up cause they're fun). There's a lot of breakable walls with hidden rooms which you can use a heavy weapon or explosions from traps or such to open. Your fire can activate traps on enemies or make them into a light source, as I mentioned above. Oh yea, in general, when you're in light you take less damage too. So a lot of posibilties. Offensive combat has a lot of different combos and synergies. Do you want to kill fast, kill with crits, stun, move the enemy towards or away from you, interrupt an attack, and so on. Defensive combat revolves around dodging and parrying, figuring out which is best for you will take a bit of work. Parrying is harder to do but rewards you with some stamina refill, while dodging is more clear to be able to avoid things while maneuvering to get into a better combat position. You have 6 slots for relics that have buffs. And two one handed weapons and a two handed weapon in your arsenal. Synergy and such and so on, it's pretty normal stuff from other games, the only real unique one here are buffs that let you lower your curse corruption by doing things like buying with gold at shops or killing with a specific weapon or combo. The things you unlock are some buffs that you can choose to start with, rerolls, new gear, and more options for your starting gear selection. The downsides to the game is that the parrying system is VERY tough. It takes a while to get used to and each enemy has their own pattern and timing, some will even juke you to get you to parry too early. HOWEVER in contrast to this, you get a ton of HP to work with, as you have a starting HP of 1000 and most normal enemies in the first section do about 15-30 and bosses might do up to ~50? So it's a pretty forgiving system if you do get hit, but you also could get more corrupted if it's a dark style attack... The story is also a bit limited as "You are cursed, you gotta break free of it. But you can't die now in the temple..." Heck, I didn't even know the main character had a name till I saw him in dead cells :) Comparing this to Dead Cells where a regular enemy can kill you in 2-3 hits but a boss can hit you 10 times or more before your HP runs out is a good comparison. I really wish Dead Cells would have taken the curse system from this game, cause it's way more fun than getting one hit killed. Overall, this game is worth checking out if you want a bit of adventure than just combat in your roguelike action game. It is NOT a clone of Hades by far.

Overall I really liked this game. The main draw to this game is that over the course of a run you will gain curses that negatively affect your run. However these curses aren't too bad and if the curse has a huge draw back like enemies being hidden in darkness until they get close to you then you will also deal 20% more damage in the dark. This makes it to where curses are punishing but not too bad unless you get the final curse which punishes you hard. Once you get a grasp of when to take on curses to gain buffs and better equipment then this game gets very fun as you're in a constant balancing act of balancing risk and reward. Also the fighting feels very smooth with the game rewarding you for doing perfect dodges and parries by giving you stamina back to continue attacking the enemies. The only complaint I have with the game is that some of the bosses are unfun. Mainly because the spam projectiles making it very hard to hit them at times, but other than that I thought the game was very fun.

하데스의 빠릿빠릿한 액션을 기대했으면 실망함 대신 묵직한 한방과 패링 손맛은 일품 빛과 어둠을 활용한 시스템은 참신함 근데 뭐만하면 꺼져버리는 횃불 때문에 불편하고 내내 캄캄한 화면에서 전투해야 하는건 답답함 어렵고 성취감 있는 게임을 즐겨한다면 괜찮은 선택임

Fácil de aprender, difícil de dominar, desafiador na dose certa O jogo tem um arsenal de armas que se combam e o cenário é interagível com diversas armadilhas, foças e paredes quebravéis O único problema é que o jogo tem poucos inimigos por área e os chefes são meio simples, mas acabo nem ligando muito, pq o foco está nas builds e armas diferentes em cada run

游戏过于硬核，操作十分僵硬和卡顿，a的时候不能翻滚取消，a连招过程中没有一点容错，导致经常a不满或者闪不开，诅咒机制也十分恶心，动不动就旋转，rogue元素又少，给的加成很少，不改游戏难度和上dlc就不是一般玩家能畅玩的

Я в Ravenswatch (следующая игра Passtech) 500+ часов наиграл. Решил попробовать предшественника, а тут просто недооцененный шедевр. Боевка на высоте, геймплей затягивает. Если тебе нравятся игры с глубокой боевой системой, игра для тебя. Визуальная составляющая тоже потрясная, несмотря на простоту - французы шарят. Сюжета как такового нет, это не Hades. Ну и важно понимать, что игра в плане контента не то что бы большая. Рогалик = реиграбельность, но рассчитывать на то, что ты в ней сотни часов проведешь, не стоит.
