Gaming News This video game is one of the good surprises of 2024, unfortunately a commercial failure: it is “free” on Game Pass
Released last summer, this action-strategy video game doesn't live up to the expectations of the company behind Resident Evil and Monster Hunter.
A game like no other
The rather original concept, perhaps too much, certainly should have alarmed Capcom. In Kunitsu-Gami, the player leads a warrior named Soh who is tasked with escorting a priestess named Yoshiro across Mount Kafuku to free various villages from the Ikoku invasion. Instead of offering an action-adventure experience like we regularly see, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess stands out from other software programs through its consistently strategic approach. Accompanying Yoshiro is a daunting task that requires constant planning.
Progression occurs in two phases: the day is dedicated to preparing your squad and the night is dedicated to confronting the demonic creatures that emerge from the torii. In our test We described Capcom's software as “Original game, packed in a particularly stylish universe”. “The game has some good surprises in store to renew a gameplay loop that maintains the same structure from start to finish“, we added.

Despite the good reviews (80/100 on Metacritic) and generally positive feedback from users, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess seems to have failed to achieve the goals set by Capcom. During a question-and-answer session to mark the presentation of second-quarter results, the website reported Gamebiz.jp, The Japanese company announced that its title had not achieved the planned number of units sold. The company admitted that it had failed to generate excitement and increase awareness of the game prior to launch, largely due to a lack of promotion. However, Capcom says it still aims to achieve its projections, even if it takes longer than expected.

The Monster Hunter dads added that sales of Dead Rising Deluxe Remastered, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection and Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics were doing well. As a reminder: If you want to discover Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, note that the game is available on Game Pass Ultimate/PC. It can also be purchased for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
