Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess review: a totally fine take on tower defence

Summary

An action RPG, tower defence hybrid of admirable intent and occasional flashes of brilliance, but is otherwise a very average time. Kunitsu's set on Mt. Kafuku, a big mountain that's been ravaged by dribbly demons. You, a lad called Soh, must guide Yoshiro safely through the cleansing process.

With Kunitsu, you play a micromanager who constantly cleans up after a workforce who's designed to do their job suboptimally. The game finally let me command more minions and elevated them into a position of authority, pinning the responsibility on their performance rather than mine.

Capcom's latest tower defence/ action RPG has strong early-millennium vibes. While initially satisfying, these repair jobs aren't a patch on DIY SOS. As a whole, it falls into a repetitive rhythm that struggles to capture the joys and thrills of much simpler tower defence games.

I will always enjoy a good tower defense game. I always end up losing a month to them.

It's a pretty cool added play in top of the typical enemies on rails so you'll probably enjoy more than month

Been waiting for more of these! This and the 4X genre have been severely lacking in recent years.
