“At first glance, Curse of the Dead Gods seems to be a slower paced isometric hack and slash roguelike. It has a cool light and dark system that has the player light braziers so they can spot traps and take less damage.…”

“4/10. Buy Hades instead.”

“Boring, reflex-demanding roguelike”

“Having completed this game on both PC and PS4 i can say this is one of the most (mechanically) fine tuned roguelikes out there. The combat is great and i personally love the relic and attributes system. While enemies…”

“After beating 4 temples out of 9, I've decided to uninstall the game and call it a day, it's just not fun, especially with the cheaply designed stamina system, almost everything cost stamina and most of the time I ran…”

“One of my favorite rougelikes of all time, but that being said I can't recommend this to people who are just starting to play the genre. There are lots of issues in the back half of the game that make it feel really rng…”

“-Enemies are extremely inconsistent, so that taking damage isn't a failure on your part but because they are so chaotic and their attacks are sudden -Boring options at every single shop -Offering an item to the gods…”

“Recommended but with caveats. If you haven’t played Hades, Hades 2 or even “Cult of the Lamb” I’ll recommend you play those first. It’s not that great but better than good, a solid 7 to 7.5. This game is pure combat,…”

“I thought this was I was looking for, and it's actually fun, but I already have Hades, and as my friend put it, it is “Hades, but stripped of story and pushed toward harsher systems and temple hazards.” I'mma just keep…”

“One of the most addictive games I have ever come across. The game purely works on the formula of no nonesense and straight jump into the gameplay. A lack of proper narrative acctually adds up to the hook of the game. I…”

“meh, pretty, combat is initially rewarding, but after a few runs it became clear there wasn't a lot of depth. The stamina mechanic seems more cumbersome than fun. All-in-all, it's just not very deep. Not a lot of…”

“You ever play a game that has all the makings of a good one yet every time you play it, it just disappoints you and you just don't have any fun? Yeah. That's this. I can see the vision they were going for but it just…”

“Definitely can't give it a negative but as with most non fromsoft games, the parrying mechanic leaves a lot to be desired. I don't understand why every other developer thinks instead of building a good parry mechanic…”
