    As a fan of roguelikes, I was slightly dissapointed with this game. It borrows elements of great games like Hades, Slay the Spire, and the similarly meh Dead Cells. Outside of the variation in weapon types and a few generic elemental attacks, the combat hardly varies based on your chosen builds of curses and relics. Truly a game that feels fine at first but quickly fails to develop depthAs a fan of roguelikes, I was slightly dissapointed with this game.

Truly a game that feels fine at first but quickly fails to develop depth where other games of the genre have gone much farther. Fun for a few hours but does not fulfill the expected replayability standard of a roguelike.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I first started this game, I was pretty amazed about how fun and smooth it was. The combat feels quite good and the Rogue-Lite aspects are well done. However, the more I played, the more I realized the game was repetitive and lacked inspiration. When I reached the 3rd tier of the pyramid, I was pretty disappointed about how they recycled the previous bosses....but I know, this is part of this category of games I guess...For the graphics department, it is really dark and really really basic....The game is not bad by any means...I had a lot of fun for the first 12-15 hours but I quickly lost my interest afterwards...Maybe, this game is a better fit for Rogue-Lite fans.… Expand

    Curse of the Dead Gods is certainly not a perfect or top-of-the-range title, but it is a production of those tasty ones, which with intelligence, application and good ideas prove to be able to go beyond their natural limits.

    This is no Hades but if you like to die a lot, you’ll love it anyway. The innovative curse system is a lot of unpredictable fun, every single run is different and, what’s more, it all looks really pretty.

    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.
