Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Reviews
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.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess isn't perfect, but every element of the game brings something never seen before and interesting. The game feels authentic, with great effort and love in representing a fascinating, japanese-folklore based world.

Kunitsu-Gami combines real-time strategy, tower defense, hack 'n slash, and management into the most innovative AAA game of the last decade.
I love Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. The game feels like a cult classic from the PS2 era. The exciting mixture of tower defense and hack'n'slash is a hell of a lot of fun and gets better and better as the game progresses. At times, the combat becomes too chaotic. Graphically, the game makes a solid, if unspectacular, impression. In a world full of huge, highly polished and generic AAA games, “Kunitsu-Gami” feels like a breath of fresh air from a simpler gaming past. I want to see more small, experimental and crazy games like this from big publishers.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a striking strategy action game with vivid art style. It uniquely blends the strategy and action genres in a balanced manner. Additionally, by incorporating action mechanics into the traditional rules of a defense game, it offers a much more dynamic and engaging gameplay experience.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess stands out for its unique combination of tower defense and action elements. The rich setting, inspired by Japanese mythology, and the agile pace of the gameplay are highlights that keep the experience engaging. However, the game fails to fully exploit its potential: the low difficulty and repetitiveness of some tasks end up compromising the depth of the journey. In the end, Kunitsu-Gami and its mix of styles is a unique and creative experience.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a brilliant action-strategy game that once again proves Capcom’s ability to make enjoyable games in essentially any genre. The gameplay and atmosphere are top-notch and unlike anything I’ve played in a good while, making for one of this year’s most memorable games.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess’ amazing art style and clever blend of action and tower defense make this experimental title one that succeeds despite some flaws.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a game that successfully blends action, strategy, and management elements, offering a varied and engaging experience. My initial hesitation towards the strategy genre turned into growing satisfaction as I progressed through the levels, thanks in part to the highly inspired artistic direction and attention to Japanese cultural details that make Capcom's title unique and captivating. However, certain aspects, such as character design and the storyline, could have been improved.

I had no idea what to expect from Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, but it will undeniably be another hit under Capcom's growing catalog of critically acclaimed successes. On a personal level, this title echoes some portion of the developer's past that I've missed dearly, and sincerely hope it sticks around and grows. The gameplay shortcomings here may fail at encourgaing the incentivized repaly value enough, but they don't detract from the quality present here.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is an interesting mix of action and tower defense strategy, with an impressive art direction and a charm that reminded me of old PS2 Capcom titles like Okami, although some gameplay issues and the first few tedious hours hold it back.

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.
Kunitsu-Gami isn't going to be for everyone, and even for those who do find it alluring, its gameplay loop might eventually start to wear thin. But it's hard not to love something this creative, especially when its seemingly disparate gameplay elements are so deftly unified with a consistent and compelling style. There might be hundreds of fluid action games with more sophisticated combos and hundreds of strategy titles with deeper mechanics, but there's only one Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and that makes it worth a lot more than many of those games will ever be.
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.
Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess is an amazing game deserving of a spot in Capcom's roster of games. I don't see it as something that'll get the Resident Evil treatment of world-building, but it is nonetheless another hit from Capcom. Hopefully, we may see another collaboration with Okami if the stars align. I highly recommend this game for players who enjoy a lot of hack-and-slash action in their games and wouldn't mind a small dose of RTS to round out the experience.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a wonderfully strange experience that deserves as much recognition as Capcom's heavy hitters. An imaginitive gameplay structure, fantastic artwork, and a beautiful soundtrack combine to form a package that's well worth your time. I absolutely love it, and if it strikes your interest, you probably will too.
With Kunitsu-Gami we will experience Japanese folklore alongside the forgotten tower-defense genre, mixing it with a very frenetic Hack & Slash, with a more than satisfactory result.

Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess is an incredibly mixed bag that, while including several great elements, is held back by overly simplistic, floaty combat mechanics and a lackluster narrative.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is the much needed risk so much of the games industry refuses to take. It’s an artistic gem that despite some rough edges bursts with creative ideas and a very strong vision. While it may not appeal to everyone, this has all the ingredients for a cult classic.
