Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Hits Over 500,000 Players, According to Capcom

/

Capcom revealed that their fresh new IP Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess has reached over 500,000 players since it was released on July 19, 2024, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass on day one.

New Mazo Talismans

To celebrate Kunitsu reaching this milestone, Capcom will be updating the game with three new Mazo Talismans: Jubilee, Dancing Crane, and Amaterasu

As a token of our gratitude to all players, we are giving away three Mazo Talismans which can be equipped on the main character Sou: Jubilee, Dancing Crane, and Amaterasu, which is a collaboration with "Okami". This gift is open to all players, including those who have already played Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess as well as those who will purchase the game in the future.

These new Mazo Talismans are more for fun and cosmetics as it doesn’t actually affect gameplay beyond wasting a Talisman slot that are usually used to give player advantage in a stage.

Here’s what these new Mazo Talismans do if a player equips it:

  • Jubilee – the villagers near the player start dancing in turn.

  • Dancing Crane – normal attacks are replaced by dancing and fireworks are shot off during the dancing technique.

  •  Amaterasu – flowers bloom at Soh’s feet as he moves.

The update also comes with a few bug fixes to improve the game even further.

Together with the new milestone and game update, Capcom released a developer series with the first video giving insight on the game’s setting.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is one of those unique and satisfying titles released from Capcom in years. The art direction and musical score does this game justice as it elevates a satisfying action tower defense gameplay loop with so much enemy and strategy variety that when I finished the game I easily spent over 20 hours.

For those interested in giving this game whirl, you can do so for free as there’s a playable demo now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC that gives you a great idea of the game.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Review - A Faithful Adventure With Flawed Execution

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.

This will be music to the ears of kids who grew up on the series, but for the uninitiated, there’s nothing quite like the Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi Brothership does its best to appeal to a wide range of players with charming presentation and a strong new Battle Plug system, but not everyone will be enamored with its reflex-testing gameplay.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
