This week, I was originally planning to do a 15-minute rant about subscription price hikes, but that felt boring even as I was writing the script. Then, I kept seeing a lot of praise online for this new title on xbox game pass called Kunitsu-Gami Spirit of the goddess. Developed by Capcom, it is an Action Strategy game, and it can even be called a tower defense game, except instead of a tower, you are defending a Maiden. That’s what the game’s description calls her by the way.
As usual, here’s a summary if you’re not going to watch the video: Path of the Goddess is a must-play if you’re the sort of gamer who wishes we ought to see new ideas in the market. Well, here’s one of the industry giants experimenting with a new-ish idea, with a heavy dosage of Japanese culture and some really well-designed, action-packed levels. It’s a visual feast, and the strategy part of the game is kept simple enough to appeal to a wider audience. The game definitely struggles to maintain the pace towards the end, and involves a lot of backtracking in order to progress efficiently, but overall it is a quite excellent title that is one of the more interesting releases in 2024 so far.
