Jan 28, 2021An inventive Souls-meets-roguelike that frustrates and delights in equal measure.

Edge MagazineFeb 25, 2021Combat is impressively muscular for a game that presents like a top-down dungeon crawler. [Issue#356, p.102]

Jan 28, 2021Gods 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.

Jan 29, 2021Only 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.

Feb 1, 2021Despite 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.

Jan 28, 2021Gods 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.

Jan 29, 2021This 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]

Jan 7, 2022Visually 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.
-
Mar 26, 2021The 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.
