Curse of the Dead Gods is a fast-paced, roguelike action game that combines challenging combat with exploration and puzzle-solving. Players navigate a series of dangerous temples, fighting through hordes of enemies while seeking treasure and avoiding deadly traps.

The game stands out with its emphasis on combat, offering a variety of weapons, skills, and curses that allow for a wide range of playstyles. The addition of a "curse" system, where players gain both advantages and disadvantages from their choices, adds an extra layer of strategy to each run. The dark, atmospheric art style and the game's challenging difficulty make for an engaging experience that rewards careful planning and precise combat.

On the downside, the roguelike elements, such as permadeath and procedural generation, can feel repetitive after a while. Some players may also find the difficulty spikes frustrating, especially when starting out, as the game doesn’t offer much handholding.

Curse of the Dead Gods is a rewarding game for fans of challenging roguelikes and action combat, offering a unique mix of strategy and skill.

Perfect for those who enjoy tough, rewarding roguelikes with deep combat mechanics and a cool ass atmosphere. 8/10.

Very addictive roguelike with solid combat. The visual style is something that appealed to me a lot too, with dark dungeons, and the lighting. All the combat mechanics work very well with each other. There is a lot of weapon variety so it was easy to find weapons that I found fun. It's very rewarding when you beat dungeons. There's a lot of old school Diablo vibes. It's very good.

Context: I could not get into Hades and I tried a lot. I prefer this one much more.

The final boss is :)

I'm sure i would have had more fun with this right when it was released, but it's a really boring and repetitive slog that I'd never play over hades. if this would be your first roguelite, maybe give it a try, but other than that, play something else.

not good

This is a gem in this genre, extremely underrated game. Progression is smart and natural, game eases you in smartly and strategically, i would suggest everyone to try it.

Combat in and of itself makes this game far above most top down action RPGs. Combine that with the cool weapons and combo mechanics and you can get pretty expressive of how you deal with the Dead Gods.

The pacing is very good, difficulty jumps are not jarring, but if you're not paying attention you will get killed easily. You get better by learning the game and unlocking more options, not by ever increasing stats, so you can't brutce force your way to the end by just putting in the hours to farm meta currencies.

All in all, great game, difficult but fair.

Most fun rogue like I have ever played. Love the enemies and weapons and the variability with each run.
