    An inventive Souls-meets-roguelike that frustrates and delights in equal measure.

    Combat is impressively muscular for a game that presents like a top-down dungeon crawler. [Issue#356, p.102]

    Gods Will Fall is a well-focused action-oriented dungeon-crawling soulslike with procedural generation. Only the procedural generation is on the difficulty, allowing for developers Clever Beans to have handcrafted each dungeon in a stunning hand-brushed art style and have each playthrough feel that bit different, as the increased difficulty of a particular dungeon brings new creatures, paths, and opportunities. While not perfect, some things like the rather barren overworld as well as some bugs standing out, the character development, emergent storytelling and tight combat does more than enough to let this stand out.

    Only the combat system is not precise and varied enough for me, a little more fine-tuning would have been necessary here. But that makes up for the charming indie game with charm and its unique graphic style.

    Despite a sliding scale of difficulty and cheap boss tactics, Gods Will Fall has the improbable ability to endear itself to those it hurts most. Both masochists and newcomers alike will find something to love in this short, but challenging, Celtic ass-kicker.

    Gods Will Fall is full of good ideas, such as its combat system, balancing the benefits of taking certain risks, the evolution of our warriors, the management of the group based on external factors and how I advise them or the dedicated design to the various dungeons. However, its failures in the collision system, an enemy AI that can be improved, some crashes and the possibility that it will unbalance its difficulty too soon, dilute the good feelings that it transmits in its first bars.

    This is a special game. I am horrible at it, and it, in turn, is horrible to me, and yet I keep pushing on, returning to Gods Will Fall again and again. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Visually okay. Unique story. Its input delay, clunky controls, and lack of combat options makes this game bottom-line shake my head and a hard pass.

    The game has low poly graphics but doesn't optimized. I can't skip the tutorial! And finally, this is slow and boring grind game. Meh.

    The control's. god soo soooo awful.

    you cant use the mouse at all.

    2 hands on the key board. its very confusing to have two hands on the key board trying to operate controls for these characters its awkward as hell. like playing a early 1990's floppy disk 2 player game.

    might be better on a console using a controller. but i just cant i deleted it and got a refund. it was just horrid.
