A Captivating Blend of Action and Strategy in a Japanese Aesthetic
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess introduces a fresh gaming experience blending heart-pounding action with strategic gameplay. Set in a defiled mountain environment, the game follows the day-night cycle of preparing for battle during the day and safeguarding the Maiden Yoshiro from malevolent spirits known as the Seethe at night.

The featured screenshot showcases a dynamic combat scene with the protagonist Soh, a guardian wielding a sword and directing the villagers. Expect thrilling sword-dance action, combining swordplay with dance moves inspired by traditional Kagura ceremonies to vanquish the Seethe.
Before delving into the mysteries of the nighttime battles, let’s examine the daytime activities:
Players will need to explore the defiled mountain, prepare for combat, and guide the Maiden to the sealed Torii Gates. The journey involves purifying the Torii Gates along the way and rescuing villagers who can aid you in the nighttime battles. Proper positioning of the villagers during the day is vital for the ensuing nocturnal encounters.
Strategy plays a key role in positioning the villagers for effective combat as night falls. Understanding each villager’s strengths and weaknesses is critical for a successful defense against the Seethe.
As night descends, players must confront hordes of Seethe emerging from the Torii Gates to claim Yoshiro, the Maiden. Strategic positioning and real-time adjustments of the villagers’ roles in battle are crucial to safeguarding Yoshiro until dawn. It demands quick thinking and precise decision-making to navigate challenging circumstances.
Witness in the trailer the thrilling battle against the formidable Festering Seethe, whose might summons legions of Seethe to support them. Can players lead the villagers effectively to fend off the Festering Seethe and protect the Maiden? Experience the perfect blend of action and strategy to overcome these challenges.

As darkness falls, the Seethe emerge from another realm through the gate. Each Seethe, designed with intricate detail, possesses a variety of attacks to menace Soh and Yoshiro. Let’s explore some of the Seethe and Festering Seethe embodying the game’s unique Japanese milieu.
