unlabelledView post →Hey gamers, huddle up: So, here's the play. We're all going to act like Kunitsu-Gami is a brand new Nintendo Switch 2 launch game. Recommend it to all our friends. "Wow, Capcom made this just for Switch 2!" Stuff like that. Got it? Hands in. "7/10 Games" on 3. 1-2-3! 7/10 GAMES!!!!
unlabelledView post →There's some talk about how Capcom are keeping the spirit of late PS2/Early PS3 game design alive with their recent releases. If that's the vibe you're after, I HUGELY recommend Kunitsu-Gami, which sold very (comparatively) little and feels like a gorgeous modern remake of some obscure PS2 game.

unlabelledView post →Despite being from a major publisher, Kunitsu-Gami was always going to be overlooked by the mainstream. It is a tower defence strategy game, but what's noteworthy about it is how deeply it engages with Shinto aesthetics, traditions and storytelling. Few games are this earnest about Shinto.
unlabelledView post →Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a game about a sword-wielding spiritual Power Ranger helping an overdressed shrine maiden purge corrupted Torii gates through the fabulous power of interpretive dance. In terms of gameplay, it feels like Kingdom: Two Crowns with more elaborate tower defence and added 3D spectacle fighter elements. And if those two sentences haven’t caught your attention yet, then Kunitsu-Gami may be a bit too much for you. This game is certainly out of the ordinary, and it…

unlabelledView post →Apparently Kunitsu-Gami didn't sell as well as Capcom hoped? ~sigh~ I know money is tight and time isn't infinite, but this is a great game and, to an extent, we lose the right to complain about publishers not backing new/unique games if we let things like this fail www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...
unlabelledView post →40. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Oh this one's extremely interesting, the demo was neat, it's sorta tower defense, but my god is it a visual treat! It's gorgeous and vibrant as hell. It kinda flew under the radar because people thought it was something Onimusha and dismissed it when it wasn't.

unlabelledView post →A more involved tower defence game. You control a samurai guardian that can engage in combat protecting a priestess, you cannot win alone. During the day you set the path for the priestess to walk, free villagers, set their 'class' (such as ranged, melee, support or healer, etc.), and position them which you change at any time, build traps and other defences to protect the priest during the night. Each area you liberate or boss arena you fight brings resources which you can use to upgrade…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beat Kunitsu-Gami last night. That game is only going to build in cult status over the years, and in a decade or two we'll get a Kickstarter-backed spiritual successor. What a weird, special, lovely thing.
unlabelledView post →I'm playing multiple #NintendoSwitch2 games right now and I want to highlight Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess as I don't hear many people talk about it, it's a fun action-strategy game with a beautiful art style by Capcom that came to other consoles last year, you should definitely check it out 👍🏼
unlabelledView post →This game fills a niche in the gaming market that was sorely missing. Kunitsu-Gami is a fast paced "tower defense" action RPG with heavy Japanese mythology throughout. There's no one written review that can truly explain exactly what this game is, so I recommend trying the demo and watching some videos. It is excellent, challenging, and definitely a unique experience unlike any other.

unlabelledView post →I'm months removed from having finished this game and I still think about it all the time. It's such a feel-good release; it's no wonder why it's so lovingly compared to a PS2-era game. I really hope Capcom keeps experimenting with more contained games like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Criminally slept on insta-classic for me. Anyone waiting for Okami 2 should do themselves a favour and check in with Kunitsu-Gami. This is a visually stunning spectacle fighter with tower defence mechanics and some light base management. It's genuinely impressive how many new ideas are introduced over the course of the game, right up until the final few stages. It never lets the core loop become stale. There's a high skill ceiling too. You can brute force your way through many stages but…

unlabelledView post →I know Capcom is rightfully being praised for its seemingly unstoppable streak of hits like Resident Evil 9, Street Fighter 6, Onimusha, and Pragmata. What I want to shout out, though, is Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. This game fucking owns six ways to Sunday, y'all.
unlabelledView post →This game carries out it vision without a single compromise. Seeing a major studio fully back something this uniquely artistic and avoiding safe bets that have become common everywhere is a rare treat in an industry that fears risk. Anyone fond of the experimental era of psx/ps2 games or Japanese folklore and mythology needs to play this. Capcom, please, I want more games like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's weird. It's fun. It's insanely creative. It's also really difficult to properly describe without writing an essay. I wish more AAA games were like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like even big budget stuff has had plenty of great releases (Kunitsu-Gami! Dragons Dogma!) but yeah, there has been an avalanche of incredible small games. Embarrassing to be a game critic and think otherwise
unlabelledView post →What if they made a AAA tower defence game? Amazing, it's nice to see something different.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Capcom at its best. A weird concept with a singular visual identity that comes together into one of the most addicting games I've ever played. It's a tower defense game, but the tower moves in a straight line and you control a unit that can single handedly obliterate everything - as long as you're not busy doing something else. You have a limited number of units per mission, and must choose their class and position them during the planning phase, daytime. As the "tower" (the maiden Yoshiro)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I appreciate Capcom trying their hand on a new, smaller IP. The game is an action / tower defence game where you, the protagonist, has a wider range of actions to do, while you command simpler troops who have limited set of skills to defend the priestess-character from an incoming horde of demons. The base game is addictive, and teaches new mechanics and roles for units just at the right intervals without it becoming too overwhelming. Each stage having extra challenges after beathing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have a bad habit of not looking to see what genre a game is before starting it I just picked up Kunitsu-Gami and was completely thrown off by the tower defense, even though that's a major part of the game 😅 Still enjoying it, of course, but oop
unlabelledView post →ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE GAMES FROM CAPCOM Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is one of those games that feels impossible to compare with anything else. It is a strange but incredibly successful mix of tower defense, action combat, RTS and RPG elements, creating an experience that feels completely unique. From the very beginning, the biggest impression is the presentation. This game is not only beautiful it feels like a living Japanese diorama. The amount of detail, the art direction, animations…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It feels like a PS2 game, and I mean that in the best possible way. My main gripe was the non-existant difficulty of the game, which is especially apparent with the bosses. I believe the devs were aware of that, and instead of fixing the issue, they slapped a "you get a reward everytime you speedrun a new boss". Which is quite telling in itself : a good challenge shouldn't be something you could cheese. And cheese you can! I literally used the same method against every bosses and it take me…

unlabelledView post →its niche blend of action and tower-defense mechanics, everything is amazing, I don't know why the marketing of this game is so bad and many players didn't know it existed. Folklore visual is amazing when Yoshiro (Priestess) started dancing it always put a smile on my face maybe it was nostalgia or something because when I was in highschool I always join in festival kinda looks like this, the sound the music everything.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly underrated game but I think it's lack of marketing is what allowed it to be how it is: it feels like an indie game with AAA budget, so im guessing they were allowed to make whatever they wanted but with very little marketing Anyways, the gameplay in this game is really interesting: on one side, it's a hack n' slash/tower defense/real time strategy hybrid (and its really well done for what it is), and on the other side it's a "base building" game where you slowly repair each village.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Previously completed on Xbox It's a shame Capcom didn't market this game enough (which they admitted themselves). It's an excellent blend of great art direction, music and gameplay. And yet it was largely overlooked despite being praised by both players and critics. Remember Sanctum? Kunitsu-Gami resembles a tower defense game where you assign roles to units and also take part in combat yourself. Combat is center stage, making for engaging gameplay instead of watching your units do their…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →remember how Kunitsu-Gami was a beautifully constructed, highly unique, lower budget shorter game from a major AAA publisher and like nobody bought it
unlabelledView post →8/10 - A lost Ps2 classic Absolutely fantastic AA title, great sound design and a unique twist on tower defence. If you temper your expectations this really plays like a lost Clover game. Really refreshing to play a title with such a limited scope and basic storyline, it isn't trying to change the world it's just a fun self contained adventure.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Between Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess and Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, the hottest new category is "PS2 game that escaped containment."

unlabelledView post →Truly the rarest thing you can get in this era of mainstream devs making clone after clone, remake after remake, and sequel after sequel: a game that's just utterly unique. You love to see a developer take a huge swing and knock it out of the park. Beautiful, stylish, and feels great to play, from the movement to the swordfighting to the tactical elements. Easily my game of the year for 2024.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun hack and slash game mixed with tower defense elements with the villagers and defenses around the maps. It ran pretty good, uses the Resident evil engine, so its almost expected, since its not an open world game. You can experiment without worrying, the game lets you reset the upgrades as many times as you need, there are a ton of talismans and powers to use with the main character too. And to be honest, you'll probably need to swap builds a few times during the game. I think it took…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With all the new IP, remasters, remakes, ports, and reviving old series by Capcom these past few years, I think my most favorite game, Kunitsu-Gami, is the only one that's going to be discontinued.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I hear the quote "games are art", I think about Kunitsu-Gami. This game is all about presentation and japanese vibes. It's like instead of reading a fairy tale, you play it. The gameplay is tower defence mixed with real time combat, and this combination works amazing here. The main loop of the game is during the day you save villagers and cleanse corruption, and during the night you defend Yoshiro, the priestess, tasked with purifying the entire village, from the enemy monsters. There…
