I’ve been playing a bunch of the new hack and slash roguelikeCurse Of The Dead Godsthis week, and it’s good! It has cool temple exploring, a greatDarkest Dungeon-esque aesthetic, and a variety weapons and combos to try out. Except, I haven’t really tried out that many, because I’ve found a favourite and I refuse to put it down. It’s a massive electrified hammer which is properly satisfying to whomp enemies with. It makes me feel like Thor, if Thor were a little grunty man running around a cursed temple.
Beautiful.

Thing is, there probably are better weapons to use in Curse Of The Dead Gods, but I don’t think I’ll ever find them. I could have the best combo going and still throw it all away to give into the temptation of the lightning hammer. It’s reached a point where if I don’t find one in any weapon rewards, I start to get a bit antsy. I can stop using it any time I want, you know. I just don’t want to. In my defence, I haven’t lost a run with it yet.
Lots of other things make Curse Of The Dead Gods is a pretty good dungeon crawler too, of course. It’s certainly not my favourite, but even after I end a session feeling a little indifferent towards it, I find that I keep going back for just one more run - even if it is just to try and get some sweet hammer time in.
