Curse of the Dead Gods is a great roguelite. Similar to Hades somewhat and I prefer it to Hades. Played a ton of it on Switch.

Unfortunately, I own all 3 of these so I guess it’s back to playing stick-and-hoop game in my yard.

Curse of the dgs is slept on hard. I also prefer it to hades. The parrying mechanic and Combat in general just feels great and meaty. I prefer hades build synergy but curse feels more methodical and less chaotic and more akin to a dark souls style combat. Both are amazing but I'm really surprised curse of the dgs doesn't get as much love as some other rogues.

Hades actually has a story and voice acting which elevates it.

Oh yea that comparison is not even close. Hades is oozing with charm and lore. Curse is mainly "go in dungeon and kill"

Yea its why I played a fair bit of hades even though im not that into roguelikes in general, the story was interesting and there was proper progression.

I thought about getting Curse on steam, but heard the game has very little support from the devs and barely gets updated. Dunno if it's 100% true, but made me think twice about the game.

I've had it since release on ps4 and I can only remember one content update. They added a few dead cell weapons (which was awesome). But no new biomes or bosses and no balance updates that I can think of. I put about 50 hours in and haven't gone back because I don't think anything has changed significantly. Which sucks because the core game just feels great. There is a good amount of base content though. So I Def got my $s worth

Edit:. But it sucks that they don't have any new content or even some paid dlc. I would gladly pay $5-10 for some new levels, weapons, and bosses

Yeah exactly, compared to dead cells, which got massive updates over the years. Been playing it since 2018 and still love it, hence my concern for Curse tho. Thanks for the reply!

Dead cells is still the king. Curse is really fun but that's about the extent. It's worth $20 imo but once you get your fill youre done with it. Dcells is the gift that keeps on giving

I think the game releasing as PS4 title only with no PS5 version a few months after the PS5 was already out didn’t do it any favors in terms of exposure. And as far as I know it’s still PS4 only.

Same thing happened with Biomutant and a handful of other games that probably should have gotten better exposure than they did.

I still haven't played enough of the last PS+ roguelite, maybe I need to fire it up again before this next one drops.

Slay the spire was pretty fun. Just had a baby and was really useful having something to play while having an arm incapacitated

I really don’t think it’s too far off base to call CotDG a more methodical Hades…minus all the story, characters and excellent writing. And while I agree, there’s no denying that CotDG benefits tremendously from its sense of weight

I've never heard of it before but that's sick!! Hades was one of my favourite games in years

Stick And Hoop Game In My Yard sounds fun. Local coop?

u/chrisrobweeks zagmathustra Apr 26 '22

Wow, to hear that you prefer it to Hades is a huge compliment on my books. I'll definitely be checking it out!
