Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is an action-strategy game developed by Capcom, officially released on July 19, 2024. The game immerses players in a rich narrative inspired by Japanese folklore, where you take on the role of a spirit guardian named Soh, who must protect the village of Yoshiro from invading evil spirits known as the “Seethe.”
The gameplay is divided into two distinct phases: during the daytime, players can explore the village, rescue villagers, and set up defenses, while at night, they must defend against the Seethe’s onslaught. Players can strategically position villagers with different roles, like melee attackers or archers, and equip them with various masks that bestow divine powers. The game emphasizes tactical decision-making, as the villagers’ positions and roles can be adjusted during combat, adding depth to the strategy
Kunitsu-Gami also features a visually stunning aesthetic powered by Capcom’s RE Engine, drawing on traditional Japanese art styles and motifs. The game’s development spanned over four years and involved collaboration with experts in traditional Japanese theater to create a rich cultural backdrop
For those interested in a blend of action and strategy, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess offers a unique experience that highlights the interplay between preparation and combat in a beautifully rendered world
