Great game. Enjoyable difficulty ramp. Parries are satisfactory. Good Art. Maybe more unlockables would be great, other than that, 9/10

Curse of the Dead Gods is an action roguelike with Souls-like elements, played from an isometric view. Its graphic novel–inspired art style and dark atmosphere might remind players of Hades or Darkest Dungeon, but it ultimately stands apart as something unique and very much its own. Gameplay & Mechanics The skill ceiling is high, but that’s exactly what makes the game rewarding. Controls are flawless and fully customizable, and the combat loop turned out to be far less repetitive than expected. Of course, RNG-esus is strong with this one β€” sometimes blessing, sometimes a curse β€” but it adds to the thrill of each run rather than spoiling it. Graphics & Style Visually, the game nails it. The comic book/graphic novel look fits the atmosphere perfectly, with smooth animations and clear feedback even when the action gets chaotic. It’s stylish without ever being overwhelming, letting you focus on every dodge, parry, and strike. Story & Lore The story does its job of framing the endless loop but never takes center stage. What made it worthwhile for me were the item descriptions and journal entries, which added plenty of flavor even if the narrative itself was more background than spotlight. Performance & Combat Flow On the technical side, the game runs smooth and precise. Reflexes matter, and learning enemy attack patterns pays off big time. When multiple enemies swarm, the adrenaline rush is pure chaos in the best way possible. The only drawback: a handful of AoE attacks don’t have perfectly tuned hitboxes, which stands out in such a tight combat system. Luckily, those moments are rare compared to how polished the rest feels. Replay Value & Content The core loop is strong, though I do wish for more late-game content that wouldn’t break the balance. Adding extra weapons or a way to spend surplus endgame currency β€” especially for achievement chasers working on the bestiary β€” would give even more reason to keep pushing. Final Verdict Overall, Curse of the Dead Gods is a stylish, adrenaline-pumping roguelike that rewards precision and persistence. It’s not flawless, but it’s a brilliant experience I’d recommend to anyone who loves tight, skill-driven action rougelike dungeon crawlers. Personal note: I played with all the weapons and beat the game with almost every combination, but my favorite loadout was the Dread Claw(dark), Dragon Sleeve(poison) gun, and Effulgence (Electric Bow) β€” bow to put lighting on the enemy / then switch weapons to put poison and stun lock with the gun / while dark damage procs lighting strike/fire (which will proc weakened state of enemies) and poison from the claw coupled with another stun lock.

Runs perfectly on Steam Deck. I’m really having a good time with this one. Hades before Hades happened minus the characters and it’s much slower so you have to be more methodical, careful and plan strategy more carefully.

This game is one of my top comfort games. Everyone hypes up Hades, and sure, it's pretty dandy. But Curse of The Dead Gods, is a sleeper hit, I'd say almost on par with Hades. Sure, in terms of combat and gameplay modifier selections, Hades is a step up. But Curse of the Dead Gods here is just SOLID. Sure, I'm mid at it, but it has solid, solid combat, a hearty selection of weapons rng, it's own gameplay modifiers that make the run just, sometimes really tricky, and that's what makes it so fun. It's this compact experience that keeps you on your toes. There's little to no bugs that I can find, and the gameplay loop just works really, really well. I'm not fully coherent right now, or my words would be more succinct, but it's a good game. If you enjoy Hades, I imagine you'll enjoy this. Actually the second time I bought this. I got it for ps4, but my vision sucks and the tv was too far away so I wasn't able to get as far as I have with a pc up close. So, feels really good to hit those parries just right. The movement I'd say is on par with Hades, if not better. I think it's because I was upset that you can still get hit in hades when dodging, and this, it may be a bug, it may be intentional who's to say, you don't get hit while dodging, so that really threw me in the other game. Anyhow, developer if you're reading this, the game is awesome. Sure itd be cool if you all added some more content, weapons, relics, curses, etc. but it's not needed. this was made a while ago, and it still holds up as a fantastic experience. Grade A game honest.
