Curse of the Dead Gods Reviews
Curse of the Dead Gods combines dungeon exploration and Roguelite in an exciting and brutal experience. Temple exploration is a tense activity because of the traps that, for the most part, are only revealed under light. The combat is exciting, intense and difficult, always requiring quick reflexes and strategic thinking. In addition, there is a good variety of weapons and equipment, and the corruption mechanic brings a sense of constant urgency to the runs. Roguelite features help to differentiate runs, but the grind and limitations in content diversity bring a slight sense of repetition. In the end, Curse of the Dead Gods is addictive — just be prepared to die a lot.

While its lack of any narrative and tangible reward is a shame, Curse of the Dead Gods is a strong and well-crafted roguelite experience with a meaty soulslike combat system, and a remarkable number of mechanics and systems all working seamlessly together.
The roguelite genre might be a bustling one on the Nintendo Switch, but Curse of the Dead Gods offers enough entertainment and unique ideas to make it worth your while. Sure, it might not necessarily evolve upon the dungeon-crawling roguelite genre in any real way, but ideas such as the curses and the dark-and-light mechanics shows that it isn’t afraid to do things a bit differently (though the fact that it absolutely nails all of the basic elements of the genre helps too). The small innovations pay off in the long run, with Curse of the Dead Gods proving to be an addictive and fun dungeon-crawler that has kept me hooked to my Nintendo Switch for hours on end as of late. It’s a little bit of a shame that it doesn’t have an exciting personality-fuelled narrative to follow, but gamers won’t be disappointed with the perilous yet satisfying escapades they’ll endure when battling through Curse of the Dead Gods’ deadly temples.
Curse of the Dead Gods boasts some very compelling and unique game mechanics combined with a fantastic combat system that demands mastery of the content it offers. Hades may be the social pretty boy of the genre, but Curse of the Dead Gods is that disciplined old adventurer ready to whip you into shape. Fortune and glory kid, fortune and glory.
Curse of the Dead Gods is an excellent roguelike that shouldn't be skipped by any fans of the genre.

A cute roguelite full of cliches that actually make it something quite special.

If you’re a fan of roguelikes and want to try your hand at something reminiscent of Indiana Jones, Curse of the Dead Gods might be your game. For everyone else, it’s best to avoid entering this deadly temple of ancient horrors.
Curse of the Dead Gods is a skill-based roguelike set inside a cruel, dark temple with a seemingly infinite amount of endless rooms and corridors. Death is always just one step behind, and that’s if the constant threat of corruption doesn’t get to you first!
The message that the downfall of mankind is its own greed wasn’t lost on me. However, I was so engrossed by the gameplay that I allowed this curse to infect me. It’s a glorious game that successfully blends a multitude of genres, and a game I strongly recommend. Buy your copy here, you won’t regret it! Choose your approach, select your weapons, and hope that the gods and luck are on your side.
So overall, even if the roguelike or roguelite genres are normally not your cup of tea, if you’re up for a good challenge and love the action adventure styles of adventuring, I would wholeheartedly recommend Curse of the Dead Gods. Fans of roguelikes and roguelites? If you haven’t already, what are you waiting for!?
Curse of the Dead Gods is a solid title for fans of rogue-likes and dungeon crawlers. An excellent progression system is tied to a damned fun combat system. Retailing for only $20 US it is easy to recommend, and as it is a Focus Home Interactive game I wouldn’t be shocked if it hit Game Pass at some point in the future. The time in early-access has really paid off, and you would do well to try it for yourself.
Curse of the dead gods it’s an awesome title for the rouguelike type of games! It as the right mix between challenge and experimentation, that gives to the player dozens of hours of gameplay before it starts to wear. It’s really satisfying to finally complete a dungeon after a couple of spending hours. After all this you even can call it the morbid little brother of Hades that offers you a motivating combat and really well done and combined mechanics.

Action Loglight is a game with fun control. The level design focused on improving the player's skills. Besides that, dozens of other weapons and artifacts are prepared. Although it's quite difficult, it also supports assist mode for beginners.

Another indie game that could've easily flown under the radar, Curse of the Dead Gods is a whole lot of fun. Greatly inspired by games like Hades, Dead Cells or Darkest Dungeon, it still managers to shine amongs the roguelites. A very good game early in 2021.

Curse of the Dead Gods ignores its narrative scope and does not deepen its story, but it is through a series of interesting and stable mechanics, level design and a well-built atmosphere that it surprises and becomes truly rewarding.

Curse of the Dead Gods is a roguelike that demands a lot from the player with its hardcore approach. The small French production shines thanks to the variety that the gameplay offers and thanks to the artistic sector. Unfortunately, the repetitiveness and optimization problems affect the good result of the game, Hades' first stepson.

A solid rogue-lite offering intense gameplay. Held back slightly by a long currency grind and an imperfectly executed light mechanic.
Roguelikes have exploded in popularity in the past few years, with games like Dead Cells and Hades showing the way the last 2 years in how to make top-tier mainstream titles in the space...
Curse of the Dead Gods is one of the most varied and gripping roguelikes that I've ever played so if you enjoy challenging combat with a wide variety of melee and ranged weaponry set in a dark and eerie game world then you'll love what it has in store.
