    Gods Will Fall is a unique and challenging dungeon crawler that cleverly combines a handful of inventive gameplay mechanics, resulting in constantly tense and thrilling runs through some seriously tough death chambers and boss battles. This is a pretty brutal and unforgiving game – one some players are sure to bounce hard off – but stick with it until it clicks, explore, experiment, forge ahead through frustration and you'll be rewarded with one of the most addictive and original roguelikes we've played in quite some time.

    "Dungeon crawling roguelite plus Dark Souls" is an idea that could have gone horrifically wrong, but it by and large comes together in a solid way here. An unusual flavor that I expect will go down well with roguelite fans.

    Gods Will Fall is an interesting take on both the rogue and hard-game genre. Its reliance on randomisation of character stats, weapons and dungeon difficulty makes it perfect for short or long plays and helps to keep the player hooked with moments ranging from abject difficulty to hilarious ease.

    Gods Will Fall has some good ideas, but it never gets it right.

    Gods Will Fall tries to reinterpret the roguelike genre and some ideas show that the theoretical potential to do so is there, but the problem is that the technical structure ruins any good intuition (such as faulty AI). On the Switch, the rough controls also increase frustration.

    Ultimately, Gods Will Fall just isn’t very fun, and even if you can stand the sub-standard gameplay, you might see the game crash and one of your characters killed as a result. Unfortunately, it’s just much more likely that you will fall than any of the actual gods.

    Juggling sub-par game design with a host of technical issues on the Switch, Gods Will Fall is a painfully disappointing roguelike that plays more like a proof of concept than anything else. Fashioning gameplay around eight distinct playable characters who can all permanently die is certainly interesting and adds an inherent tension to the experience, but stiff controls, laughable enemy AI, and shallow combat do nothing but remind audiences that they can be playing something better. The fact DeepSilver would publish a title so blatantly unready for public consumption - let alone purchase - is frankly baffling. Gods Will Fall is as much a waste of time as it is money.

    this game is complete **** It is enough to watch reviews in Steam or play it 2 times. You can play in the cave for an hour, get to the boss,this game is complete **** It is enough to watch reviews in Steam or play it 2 times. You can play in the cave for an hour, get to the boss, almost kill him, but due to bad brake control, fall off the mountain, and you will lose the strongest hero, because of which there is no chance to play further, and you will need to go through the cave from the very beginning, as if you were nobody killed Some locations simply close the player, and you don't see - what you died from. Players randomly improve or degrade their stats. And it does not depend on you. After a few bosses, your entire team will be crippled. And the difficulty of the caves changes randomly in each game. Very often, at once, half of your team dies without a chance, only because the caves you entered are too difficult for the initial heroes. It does not depend entirely on you or your skill.… Expand
