Description




You seek untold riches, eternal life, divine powers - it leads to this accursed temple, a seemingly-infinite labyrinth of bottomless pits, deadly traps, and monsters.



Collect mystical Relics and an arsenal of weapons to make yourself unstoppable. Battle through hordes of enemies in dark, cavernous passages filled with traps and secrets of all sorts - fire-spewing statues, explosives, hidden spikes, and worse.

Corruption builds in you with every step - encourage or ignore it, but each powerful curse can be a double-edged sword.

Your greed will lead you to death, but that is not an escape. Rise to fight again. Delve deeper again. Defy the malignant deities that linger in this place.



MAIN FEATURES
  • A skill-based roguelike exploring a cruel, dark temple made of endless rooms and corridors
  • Swords, spears, bows, guns - wield these and many more
  • Light and fire will be your best allies to overcome the threats that lie in the shadows
  • Unique curses influence each attempt, putting a twist on every action
  • Dozens of enemies, with powerful champions and deadly bosses to face off against

Curse of the Dead Gods is an excellent rogue-like, and the massive variety of curses, weapons and buffs creates a different experience each time.

Great action, smart strategy, and random curses carry Curse of the Dead Gods to top of the action roguelite genre.

7.3/10
Curse of the Dead Gods is tried-and-true roguelite experience that balances challenge and exploration, but has trouble keeping the action engaging amid its repetition.

Less Chatty Bastion

I was hoping for some narration, but the text based lore in item drops is still ineresting. A good essentials for your roguelike shelf in your collection. Nice art style, god soundtrack, tight parry window(for you soulslike enjoyers).

Decent Roguelite

Great artstyle with an interesting balance of mechanics that keep you on edge every run. My main complaint is that the combat system forces you to stop and wait for stamina recovery in a really unintuitive way that punishes rather than rewards chaining attacks. The only way to play well is mastering the parry system but the default window is really narrow, and not every attack is telegraphed well.

Great roguelite!

I'm a big fan of the studio. I have put hundreds of hours into Ravenswatch on Steam, and wanted to support the team further. It's been great playing its predecessor, so many thoughts and designs are carried on to their second game and improved upon. It is a great game in and of itself. Crisp, fast-paced gameplay, personality, difficulty and replayability. Highly recommended.
