A game where a bunch of dudes in power armor shoot giant bugs in space.

It's kinda buggy and the translation is a bit silly at time ("Toilet Papers") but overall it's great fun. Like TTT or Amogus but longer rounds and people don't get shot.

Doing my part to counteract the initial review bomb every game goes through nowadays. More later.

yeah i got no idea

One of the most unique, creative, and ambitious management sims out there. It really saddens me that the devs have left it in a state that has some noticeable bugs and quirks (and now the publisher has moved on to shilling AI slop), but overall it's a wonderful experience.

it's 6$ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ buy it

Have to give it a thumbs up just because it defies modern yapfest storytelling. The game tells you what's going on in a simple but very well made cutscene, says "okay now go do it", and you're off. Cutscenes are just to introduce new concepts and nothing more. There's barely even any words said, and they don't need to be said.

Gameplay is solid, doesn't hold your hand any more than it needs to, and the art direction is top-notch. Capcom really cooked with this gem, I hope it gains traction. Tired of AAA moviegames. Other reviewers are saying this feels like a PS2 game and I have to agree, and that's probably the highest praise I could give a game.

EDIT: Figured I should update the review now that I've 100%'d this game.

First off let me say this: It is not common for me to 100% a game. I consider Persona 5 and Library of Ruina to both be some of my favorite games of all time- games that I would award a solid 10/10. I haven't 100%'d them.

I'm someone who regrettably gets bored of games quickly and honestly? I leave many games unfinished in my backlog. But this game kept compelling me to come back, to finish the story, despite there being almost no words said. I was so deeply invested that I carried on through optional objectives that are frustrating as hell, I save scummed, I thought about giving up, but I kept coming back.

Kunitsu-Gami is a hauntingly beautiful game. Everything about it exudes a dreamlike, ethereal sensation. It makes you really feel like you've been taken to another world, with mystical creatures and masked villagers. The fact that Yoshiro's face is the only one you see for the entire game until the ending is a fantastic choice imo, as it really serves that dreamlike feeling splendidly. As humans we are used to seeing faces everywhere, it's in our DNA. So when a story is completely bereft of them, it makes it all feel so much more surreal.

The gameplay is fun as hell. I have seen it described as "Pikmin but you're playing as Bayonetta" and I think that fits. For the first portion of the game before you unlock Soh's upgrade tree, it certainly can feel a bit dull and repetitive. But once you start unlocking more and more abilities and villagers, the gameplay becomes thrilling and such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joy to play. The music, the animations, the sound design, it's all spot-on. Capcom is further cementing they're the kings of action games with this one.

Everything about this game feels so unreal. It's unreal to me that a game could release in 2024 that has such a high emphasis on the gameplay, which trusts in the player's intelligence and doesn't say any more than it has to. This honestly is in the top 10 for my games of the decade.

For being one guy's passion project? It's pretty good. Nice variety of parts and weapons to choose from, lots of dumb fun mowing down hundreds of enemies. Think EDF+Armored Core.
For the price? I think it's worth it.

Slay the Spire but with better graphics, better gameplay, better audio, better characters (obviously), better artwork, better EVERYTHING.

Criminally underrated gem. Polished like a perfect grain of white rice. So many unique ideas and great characters.
