Curse of the Dead Gods Reviews
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 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.
Aesthetically outstanding and driven by spectacular action, Curse of the Dead Gods is a fine roguelike entry.

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 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 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 is an action-roguelike with slick combat and a risk-reward loop that will keep you coming back.
Curse of the Dead Gods is finally out of Early Access! Explore trap-ridden temples and fight supernatural enemies in this Action Roguelite from Passtech Games. Will you be victorious over the temple Gods, or will you succumb to your own corruption and greed?
I had a lot of fun playing Curse of the Dead Gods and it's fairly addicting once you get the mechanics down. For better or worse, it is rather mechanic heavy that may or may not be positive. Often times it can be a bit convoluted and ultimately a less aggressive playstyle will make up for a passive one with the torch or being overly greedy. Given it's a great game to pick up and play and it doesn't take particularly long to get the hang of it, I strongly suggest giving it a go if you're looking for something to scratch that roguelike itch.
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.

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.

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 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.
Still, even without every fresh touch making it's mark on the genre or not quite living up to the high-difficulty level that many people boast the game has, I found it to be a great time.
Cursed game, which can infect you with great gameplay and unique elements.

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.
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!?
