Sacred Symbols+, #414 | Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Review Discussion and Spoilercast
🕑 Added 2024-10-26 16:00:07 +0000 UTCIt's me, Colin, here with a 'better-late-than-never" episode of Sacred+. This time around, I'm joined by Defining Duke co-host Lord Cognito and Hoeg Law's Rick Hoeg for a discussion surrounding Capcom's quiet summer release Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Described as a so-called "Kagura Action Strategy" game, Kunitsu-Gami is essentially a fusion of tower defense and RTS with action gameplay, and the result is something quite remarkable. Rooted in the Japanese religion Shinto and with a horror-esque vibe, Path of the Goddess is perhaps 2024's single-most surprising game, in all the right ways. With echoes of Enix's classic early SNES fusion title Actraiser, this exceedingly rare AA Capcom offering is unlike anything you've ever played before, and we wanted to cover it -- even three months after its release -- specifically to draw more attention to a criminally-underplayed adventure.

The preorder bonus had some Okami character skins and music that I used during my playthru. Makes me long for a true Okami sequel

I really enjoyed Kunitsu-Gami when i played it back in July. Now that some time has passed I think I’m gonna go back for a new game plus run, knock out those optional challenges and hopefully get the platinum soon.

Lots of obscure spoilercasts this year.

So glad I gave this game a shot. It was so beautiful. Even though, the story is kind of slight, the true ending had me a little choked up. My only reply complaint is that the first playthrough was a little too padded for my liking. Rebuilding the villages got pretty old fairly quickly, with me constantly replaying the first boss battle to speed things up (same with getting enough crystals before each stage)

It certainly wouldn’t be the BIGGEST show but I would loooove a LSM sports talk show once a week.

Def recommend people try this game. Sounds like I struggled more than the gang but it was enjoyable seeing all the different scenarios and art. Hope they follow this up with DLC or a sequel as well.

Thank you for this one. I love this game. Top 5 of the year for me. I also find it funny that Colin says he didn’t experiment too much with classes and didn’t use the other combat style. No wonder he got bored of it 🤣
