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 :)
