Among the many announcements from PAX East 2020, one that should have your attention is the rouge-lite dungeon crawler title Curse of the Dead Gods by Passtech Games and Focus Home Interactive. Offering a variety of features in a seemingly-infinite death crypt, you are sure to be challenged as you try to survive the chaos within.

Sharing their overview trailer definitely has me excited for the Steam Early Access launch planned to release tomorrow, March 3rd. In it we get a glimpse at the action-packed combat, a variety of trap types to both avoid and work with, the main goal of the game being The Temples that bring both blessings and curses, how these blessing and curses can affect your immediate gameplay, and how much control the player really has on the path they take. There seems to be plenty of randomization in the crypt’s depth, but that just means unique playthroughs and an always blind experience as we fight through the hordes.

I always enjoy a well-designed rouge-lite title and will be hoping that this title fits that slot as well. It does seem like there is only one character, but at least a variety of weapons. Still, I hope that they bring out more characters with different fighting styles because that always improves games like these for a wider player base. What do you think of the next rouge-lite to hit the Steam store?
