Reception

If you missed out on this hidden gem from last year, now you have the chance to make up for it and enjoy a Switch 2 version that smells like a definitive edition.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess for Nintendo Switch 2 is a remarkable port of one of 2024's hidden gems and one of Capcom's most distinctive games. While there are some graphical and optimization cutbacks, the action-strategy offering is just as enjoyable as on other platforms.

Kunitsu-Gami was a real surprise. A solid blend of strategy and action that incorporates aspects of Shinto and Japanese folklore to create a visually stunning experience. It's a great showcase for Switch 2, even if mouse controls might not quite work for everyone.

I found myself enraptured by this game. Hooked on its combat-cum-strategy and constantly awed by the sights I saw, entertained by the steady flow of upgrades and the structure of the mission layouts. It broadened my horizons a little bit, if a game can do that. That can't be a bad thing, can it?

Expertly paced and bursting with fresh ideas, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess kicks down the door of the real-time strategy genre like few others, combining energetic action with spectacular demon slaying.
