Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
This mystical single-player action strategy game is Capcom’s newest franchise.

Kafuku, where players take on the role of Soh, with the goal of ridding the mountain of corruption and restoring peace to the villages.
Dynamic day and night cycles, rendered with beautifully modulated lighting effects, are essential to the experience. In daylight, Soh teams up with the rescued villagers to strategize and prepare for upcoming battles. At nightfall, Soh, along with the maiden Yoshiro and the villagers, confront the embodiment of defilement on Mount Kafuku, the Seethe. Wielding a sword, Soh fights Seethe in a style reminiscent of a Shinto dance called Kagura, unleashing the immense power within the sword’s Tsuba guards. The player must also constantly adapt to dynamic combat conditions and use the different roles of the villagers to protect the maiden and free the mountain from its curse: lumberjacks, archers and ascetics are at the ready, overall providing a nice combination of support skills and raw Strength and dexterity.
