Curse of the Dead Gods

Honestly, I love roguelites, but this game feels like an unbalanced early-access mess. There are so many mechanics all at once, but every run feels the same. The curse mechanic doesn’t really affect your run in most cases (unless you get to the last stage, then you just drain your HP and die if hit once). All the things you can buy in the lobby don’t really create any meaningful difference. There’s a lot of meaningless grind, watered down by unbalanced boss fights (some are impossible to kill, while others just require you to spam the same skill to win). I liked the initial idea, but after 10–15 runs, it becomes mind-numbingly boring. 4/10.

One of my favorite rougelikes of all time, but that being said I can't recommend this to people who are just starting to play the genre. There are lots of issues in the back half of the game that make it feel really rng based and slow. The first three temples are fun and well paced, and while I don't mind the idea of a really grindy final temple they way overdo it here. The amount of elite enemies who serve as nothing but health pools are really repetitive and annoying, but you have to deal with a lot of them if you want any chance in the final boss fight. Most of my issues with this game come in the final couple of floors in the final temple; Incredible amounts of gold required for the final sacrifices, I won't get too into detail to avoid spoilers but hoard gold as much as possible or you might as well restart before you get to this stage Dexterity (damage boost) is almost impossible to build in the final temple, which sucks because of the amount of hp you have to deal with and the serpent avatar which is just a massive dps check. The curse system can feel a bit odd at times, though really cool and creative. It's supposed to be detrimental, but most of the curses can just flat out help you. The ones that don't, though, can completely end your run at the wrong time. Getting one of these when your an hour into the final temple can make you put a hole in your wall. Despite all of this, it remains one of my favorite games. It's easy to put down and come back to, and it has a lot of replay ability without ever feeling super stale.

Great game. Enjoyable difficulty ramp. Parries are satisfactory. Good Art. Maybe more unlockables would be great, other than that, 9/10

Curse of the Dead Gods is a game I have very mixed feelings on. Initially I was planning on giving this game a negative review, but I've changed that to positive because I feel too many people rate this game poorly simply because it's a bad "roguelike", which, to be fair, it absolutely is. The reason most roguelikes are so addictive despite how much repetition they require is because they're usually based around speed. But when you take a genre where you're meant to go fast, and design every aspect of the combat around slow, methodical systems that punish aggression, everything becomes rancid very quickly. The core mechanic of the game's combat is the parry, which stuns and weakens enemies when executed properly, but wouldn't you know it, when combined with random rooms of 5+ enemy gangbangs, that mechanic doesn't work too well. Yes, there's a blessing that spreads the weaken effect when killing an enemy, but not all enemies can be parried, and some enemies are just way too tanky, making some later rooms an absolute chore. Even by roguelike standards, progression in this game is tedious, as finishing expeditions, even the three-stage ones, barely awards enough crystal skulls to unlock anything meaningful. And you need to work for EVERYTHING, weapons, blessings, rerolls, better starting weapons, EVERYTHING. But even with all that being said, the game can still be enjoyable at times, it just feels like something that would have worked better as a regular action game with regular checkpoints.

[h1]Hadesは合わなかったがこれは合った[/h1] ＜昔買ってレビューを書いていなかった作品。通常のレビューより簡素＞ Hadesとよく比較されるのでそこに乗っかっておく。 Hadesで不満に感じていた強敵の硬さが本作にはなかったのもあって存分に楽しむことができた。 細かいあれこれでHadesに劣る部分はあったものの、「これを求めていたんだ」というものがそこにあり、個人的には満足できた作品。 ※どうやら長時間遊ぶとけっこう不満点も噴出するようになるらしいが、10時間ほど遊ぶ分には楽しめた
