Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Reviews
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a delightful surprise from Capcom. It's not a big-budget blockbuster or the obvious start to a franchise, but this unusual stand-alone game really feels like something creative and special. The core gameplay loop is plenty of fun, and the graphics are a testament to strong art design. Indeed, the only real complaints I can find are a few lackluster boss fights. It's a game that hearkens back to the days of titles like Okami - and not just in visual appearance. Kunitsu-Gami is absolutely worth a look if you're a fan of Capcom's unconventional titles.
Kunitsu-Gami constantly encourages players to stay engaged, whether that be because they have to plan out the maiden’s path, actively fight enemies during the night, or craft their own interpretation of its mostly dialogue-free narrative. While some parts of the journey can get repetitive, Kunitsu-Gami rewards those who pay attention, learn its deep systems, and adapt to whatever wacky situation it throws at them. There’s nothing else quite like it.
Kunitsu-Gami is one of the most exciting titles of 2024 so far, with thrilling combat and strategy in such a beautifully designed world.
Kunitsu-Gami isn’t particularly deep. However, it makes the most of all its many concepts, and outside the few dull moments of downtime, it’s always pushing you to think carefully and take in every part of its richly realized world. There’s genuinely nothing else like it, and I hope there’s more to come in the future.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is an extraordinary game with a distinctive style that is exciting to play. The strategic values and constant fluctuations in the gameplay is creative and appealing. The mechanics aren't anything especially new, but the way the game develops its pieces enhances the overall design and quaintly makes the game its own beast. The game undoubtedly stands out with its loud and compelling graphical style as well as having a superb soundtrack. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is an innovative adventure that is a precipice of design in the gaming space of today. Snuff out the blight and bring peace in this steep climb to victory!
One of the impressive details of this industry comes with those games that break the established mold, going beyond all conventions and seeking to provide us with a rewarding and entertaining experience, and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess fits perfectly with these words.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess has so much to explore and delve into, and there is never a dull moment between the chaos of pushing back the hordes of Seethe and the peaceful moments of rebuilding the villages. Between the inspired world and character designs and the enamoring ambiance, that’s already more than enough to keep anybody going, but the best aspect of this release is how well it blends tower defense with action adventure. This is without a doubt another gem from the infamous Capcom that you’ll want to experience for its story and beauty.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is an enthralling and addictive game that everyone should experience at least once. Its combination of gameplay elements and approach to replayability are flawless and something that will hook players in for hours.
In the landscape of remakes and remasters, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a gorgeous experimental title that blends action and tower defense perfectly into a package that pays homage to traditional Japanese culture with its combat and presentation based on Kagura and Bunraku, made by Capcom. Play this game if you appreciate works of art and Japanese culture.
Kunitsu-Gami combines real-time strategy, tower defense, hack 'n slash, and management into the most innovative AAA game of the last decade.
An action RPG, tower defence hybrid of admirable intent and occasional flashes of brilliance, but is otherwise a very average time.
Capcom has decided to give us something different, and we can say that they have succeeded. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess manages to combine the already obsolete world of tower defense with the incombustible hack & slash that we all like, and it does so with a title that has incredible synergy. The game surprises, amuses and does not bore, bombarding us with new mechanics or objectives that constantly give us a feeling of freshness and constant originality without overwhelming us, something that is very difficult in a strategy game. The game has a large number of missions, which also invite us to tackle many very different situations, so at one point we will be in a cavern without light, another in the middle of a boat trip or at others we will just be a spirit. and we will only be able to give orders to the villagers. In addition, it invites you to replay its levels to get rewards if we meet certain objectives such as finishing the level without taking damage or in a certain amount of time. We can assure you that you will have a good handful of hours ahead of you before finishing it, with the main campaign being very difficult to finish in no less than 15 hours of play.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess may not be for everyone. Tower defence games are a niche genre; many may not enjoy the repetitive aspect. However, the game is captivating, with diverse gameplay and well-balanced challenges.
In many ways, I was surprised with how much I’ve come to enjoy this game after having my curiosity tickled during last year’s Summer Games Fest reveal, where from a hands-off look at Kunitsu-Gami showed what appeared to be a much more point and click experience than the actual release proved to be. As it is for real, it’s something that could be easily recommended to those seeking to not only engage with its fun mechanics, but also its endlessly colorful presentation and gripping setting.
