Curse Of The Dead Gods

Curse of the Dead Gods is a 2021 roguelike video game developed by Passtech Games and published by Focus Home Interactive. In the game, the player assumes control of an explorer who must navigate three different dungeons in search for money, power and eternal life. The Curse meter increases as the player ventures into a new room, purchases items with a blood offering instead of gold, or fights enemies in the dark. Curses hinder the player's abilities and presents additional challenges and opportunities. They will be lifted as a reward for beating the in-game bosses. Curse of the Dead Gods was developed by Passtech Games, a game developer based in Lyon, France. The development team spent an extensive amount of time working on the game's combat system and art style, as they wanted it to be "much darker and punchier" when compared with the studio's other games. He concluded his review by saying that Curse of the Dead Gods is a "breezier, simpler game than its clear inspirations". Mitchell Saltzman from IGN called the game a "standout roguelite", and praised the combat system, the accessibility, and the enemy variety. He singled out the curse system, which added a strategic layer to the game's combat and made the game more unpredictable.
