"The Dark Souls of side-scrolling golf roguelikes is quite the pitch, but Cursed to Golf looks like it’ll pull that premise off."
Polygon - 50 most anticipated games of 2022
"Golf in a series of platforming dungeons? As you battle to escape the underworld? (Or Golf Purgatory, which sounds just as bad.) Power-ups and weird obstacles and a never-ending series of neat gimmicks? Lovely pixelart? Cursed to Golf sounds absolutely wonderful."
Eurogamer - The games we're looking forward to in 2022
"In Cursed to Golf you take on the role of a Golf Champion, trapped in Golf Purgatory after a lightning strike stops you dead in your tracks. To ascend back to the land of the living, you’ll need to play through 18 dungeon-like holes."

Play as The Cursed Golfer, trapped in Golf Purgatory after a freak accident takes you out as you’re about to take the winning shot of an international tournament! Legend says that playing through the devious courses across Golf Purgatory will get you back to the land of the living and, more importantly, to the trophy you were about to win. Each course is governed by a ghostly Legendary Caddie, who will tutor you in the mystical ways of golf to aid you on your quest for redemption and revival.
Cursed to Golf offers a fresh take on the golfing and roguelike subgenres. Make your way through a hole within the PAR Count or your curse will take you back to the beginning of the course! To add to the challenge, these courses don’t just have bunkers and rough spots but are also chock full of mad obstacles like high powered fans, spikes, TNT boxes, teleporters and a whole load more. It’s all par for the course in this twisted take on the classic game!
Being cursed to play golf forever in the eternity of Golf Purgatory has its benefits, too! Use Birdie-Eye to catch a view of the whole course and see what trials lie ahead. Par count running low? Luckily, gold and silver Shot Idols are peppered throughout the holes, smashing through them with a cinematic flourish will replenish your shots. Ace Cards will turn the odds back in your favour, channeling your otherworldly powers to manipulate the game in incredible ways. Scattershot, U-Turn, Rocketball, Mulligans are just some of 20 cards you have up your sleeve to turn the tide back in your favour!
Every shot counts!

Oasis Pinball Is supremely unfun
Had a nice time, and got to the oasis and wasted a bunch of time on 1 single shot constantly bumping upwards with inconsistent responses.

Fun simple game, not quite a rougelike
Great character design/ decent writing, compelling mechanics but missing a little depth. I looked forward to the rouge-like aspect of this game, learning new things on ryn-throughs and having fun with synergies but unfortunately I didn't get the chance. I finished first try with no deaths and once I gained the pin that gave you 3 ace cards every single turn no other reward or combo meant anything. Every ace card and money reward was worthless and swapping the other pins didn't alter gameplay much. The powerups range from quality of life shots to game breaking at times and near the end of the game I felt like I was just rolling until mini rocket ball popped up. It's a shame because I love the framework here it's just missing some complexity, balance and depth. What's here is promising though, looking forward to what's next from these devs.

A delightful challenge!
Cursed to Golf is a charming challenge wrapped up in a a beautiful pixel art package! The soundtrack slaps and the characters are wholesome, it's quite delightful! The new modes from the latest update bring a lot to the game for both people looking for an additional challenge and for those who find it too difficult.
