Gods Will Fall Reviews
Gods Will Fall is a unique and challenging dungeon crawler that cleverly combines a handful of inventive gameplay mechanics, resulting in constantly tense and thrilling runs through some seriously tough death chambers and boss battles. This is a pretty brutal and unforgiving game – one some players are sure to bounce hard off – but stick with it until it clicks, explore, experiment, forge ahead through frustration and you'll be rewarded with one of the most addictive and original roguelikes we've played in quite some time.
Gods Will Fall is a well-focused action-oriented dungeon-crawling soulslike with procedural generation. Only the procedural generation is on the difficulty, allowing for developers Clever Beans to have handcrafted each dungeon in a stunning hand-brushed art style and have each playthrough feel that bit different, as the increased difficulty of a particular dungeon brings new creatures, paths, and opportunities. While not perfect, some things like the rather barren overworld as well as some bugs standing out, the character development, emergent storytelling and tight combat does more than enough to let this stand out.
Gods Will Fall knows how to mix roguelike concepts in his own way with challenging and fun combat. Small flaws in control will cloud the bottom line, but it will delight everyone who is drawn to his particular proposition. Very honest with its price, too.

An inventive Souls-meets-roguelike that frustrates and delights in equal measure.
Gods Will Fall on Xbox is one of the best games that you can play. With its beautiful combination of random generation and concrete level design, it sets the bar high for any roguelikes that come after.
If you’ve the patience of a saint to be at the whim of the gods, Gods Will Fall is your kind of game.
Gods Will Fall is an entertaining bet from Manchester indie studio, Clever Beans. A fantasy roguelite rpg brings us a war story against the gods, in which we will have to handle 8 savior heroes. At first the game becomes interesting and has very well planned dungeons, witch with the time lacks of some technical aspects and can become repetitive. Other than that, it's a very nice game that can bring several hours of fun to roguelike fans.
