Sooo, ever dreamt of running an office with freaky gods from another dimension? Yeah, me neither. But if that’s your thing, “The Deadly Path” might just tickle your weird fancy. You’re the Custodian, stuck making these deities happy by building a dungeon — sounds fun, right? It’s like juggling flaming swords… in the dark.
First off, the idea is kinda cool. Mixes dungeon crafting and keeping the godly bosses pleased — it’s like a Gothic CEO’s nightmare that’s somehow intriguing. The strategy setup gives a nod to old-school tabletop vibes, and the art? Pretty much screams “creepy, but make it fashion.” And that soundtrack! Totally got those midnight summoning circle vibes.
But hold up, not all is merry in hell-land. The interface? Chaotic. Like, where did they hide the important stuff? Seriously, it’s like playing hide-and-seek with your sanity. And sometimes the game just unpauses itself. Frustrating much? I swear the pause button has a vendetta against me or something.
Oh, and let’s talk difficulty. Not really a gentle slope here. More like a vertical climb. The learning curve feels like medieval torture; one moment it’s all “hey, figure this out or face doom.” And don’t get me started on tutorials. Trial by fire, literally. Who needs tooltips anyway? Oh wait — we do.
Then there’s the grind, and oh boy, it’s like molasses uphill on a cold day. Trying to progress is a drag, with first few hours just crawling along, wrestling with game bugs and glitches. Early on, it’s like, am I playing a game or ferrying rocks to the peak of Mount Doom here?
The pacing? Schizophrenic. One minute, you’re sipping virtual coffee waiting for resources like a bored office worker. Next, it’s chaos because a god had a temper tantrum. Settling into a rhythm? Forget about it. You’re either snoozing or scrambling. Kind of a shame really, because it has potential. Buried deep under the chaos, it’s almost fun. Almost.
“The Deadly Path” is like that quirky horror film with potential. Needs some serious love from the devs to smooth out its many kinks. If you enjoy painful gaming marathons or playing apocalyptic stage manager, dive right in. Otherwise, maybe wait till it’s a bit less of a trial in patience.
And hey, they sent a retail copy my way, so go figure. Here’s hoping for updates that make the deadly a bit less… well, dead. 5/10, mostly for style points.
