If there’s a writer I belief to get just a little bit bizarre, it’s Capcom. When Capcom experiments, the outcomes are normally deeply fascinating on the very least – however it’s additionally typically good. You get issues like Satan Could Cry springing from the ashes of a rejected Resident Evil 4 prototype, the sudden brilliance of Ghost Trick, or the mechanical delights of Useless Rising. Principally, when Capcom takes a swing on these things, it has a fairly excessive batting common.
Even realizing that as I do, although, after I sat all the way down to play Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, my expectations have been fairly low. I’d seen a trailer; it seemed like a less expensive recreation, a transparent little bit of developer experimentation. And, nicely, perhaps I simply ought to’ve recognized higher, and remembered my historical past – as a result of I used to be shocked by it. Even off only a quick demo, I feel I love this recreation.
Admittedly, the sport is loads like any person put me into an MRI or one thing and scanned to determine precisely what kind of recreation would enchantment to me. It’s half real-time technique (which I really like), tower protection (the best ‘hangover recreation’ style, I feel), with a lick of hack-and-slash motion and role-playing fashion development because the icing on the cake.
