Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess

I’m just a boy, standing in front of an unseen virtual audience, asking them to play Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. There are hundreds of thousands of video games in the world, and there is nothing out there even a little bit like Capcom’s new action/real-time strategy game. I’m so in love with its innovative, masterfully woven, eye-opening weirdness, and I simply need people to know about it. If you feel AAA games have stagnated in their design, concept, or execution, Capcom has brought down a building-sized hammer on that claim, and that hammer’s name is Kunitsu-Gami.

Expertly paced and bursting with fresh ideas, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess kicks down the door of the real-time strategy genre like few others, combining energetic action with spectacular demon slaying.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a unique game that brilliantly blends together action and strategy, resulting in a game that makes you think and keeps you on your toes. Add in sublime enemy design and a wonderful soundtrack, and you have a game that rubs shoulders with the best of 2024 so far.

“Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is unlike anything else you'll play in 2024, and that's why it's one of the year's best games.”

Kunitsu-Gami's unique action/strategy combo guarantees you'll be dancing 'til dawn.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is light on overt storytelling, but packed with satisfying, entertaining action strategy gameplay. It's worth a look.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is one of those games that will have you going back for one more quick level. If you're still on the fence, check out the demo and get yourself hooked.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a fantastic real-time tower defense game that feels like a great fit for the Steam Deck.

An action RPG, tower defence hybrid of admirable intent and occasional flashes of brilliance, but is otherwise a very average time.

Kunitsu-Gami is an intriguing action/strategy hybrid that provides consistently fresh gameplay and relaxing moments. If you're not a fan of strategy or action games, I'd still recommend this game since it's an experience that manages to transcend either genre thanks to its quieter moments.

Capcom's latest original game strikes an effective balance between action and strategy, despite some elements weighing it down.

An easy-to-grasp premise coupled with a campaign with an abundance of clever twists and turns, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess stands as one of Capcom's most interesting ventures into smaller-scale experiences yet. A game that doesn't shy away from its smaller stature, yet never feels like it's sacrificing the quality of production we've come to expect and praise Capcom for. Some great artistic use of color and lighting on top, only emboldening further a game that feels miniature yet grand at the same time. The surprise isn't that Capcom can excel just as well on newer, smaller-scale project...
