Curse of the Dead Gods Reviews
As visually striking as it is addictive, Curse of the Dead Gods blends together satisfying combat with a few unique mechanics, making for a roguelite that will eat away at your free time in a big way
Curse of the Dead Gods is a Roguelite game that combines gameplay ideas from different successful games to offer a unique experience. It may look similar to Hades, but other than a superficial similarity, it uses original art direction and creates a dark atmosphere. Unfortunately, it has some problems in the narrative, and the developers didn’t use the game’s full potential. At All, Curse of the Dead Gods is an excellent experience, and I believe Roguelite fans will enjoy it.

Curse of the Dead Gods is an action-roguelike with slick combat and a risk-reward loop that will keep you coming back.
Curse of the Dead Gods is a fun, exciting game that can make you spend hours in front of the TV. The title offers one of the best adventures in roguelike style, even though over time it gets a little repetitive because of the lack of creativity of enemies and dungeons.

Curse of the Dead Gods could have easily been an also-ran to solely capitalize on an upcoming release that has a lot of buzz (think Antz to A Bug's Life). Instead, I've been greeted with a roguelike that, while definitely sharing DNA with other dungeon crawlers, has enough interesting backdrops with a few neat combat ideas to make it its own. Curse of the Dead Gods' unique features don't all hit dead-on, but what's here is a game that while not as refined is still plenty of fun in its own right.
As Rogue-likes go, Curse of the Dead Gods is up there with the best of them. It’s got brilliant combat, dastardly traps to overcome if you want their riches, and numerous unique systems layered on top that add considerable depth. With the prospect of death (or at least grave misfortune) around every corner, it keeps you on your toes, uncertain of what the future holds. But you’ll find yourself going back time and time again, ever hopeful that soon, the temple that’s been holding you back will be conquered. It’s not for the faint of heart, but Rogue-like fans would be mad to give this the cold shoulder.
Really, though, Curse of the Dead God's biggest problem is simply that it exists in a ridiculously over-saturated space, and doesn't do anything meaningful to help it stand out. In a world post-Hades, it's hard to see where this one fits into the library of any but the most over-committed roguelike fan. That's not a fault of the game in itself. Once you understand how to play it and have learned its rhythms and studied its enemies, it's perfectly competent at what it's doing. It's just lacking a bit of verve and panache, so it will never have the same appeal as its already-storied peer.
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.
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...
A solid rogue-lite offering intense gameplay. Held back slightly by a long currency grind and an imperfectly executed light mechanic.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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!?
