The Xbox Game Pass catalog has grown quite a bit in the last five years and currently has some indie gems that have gone unnoticed, as they are hidden among other more popular releases such as Microsoft exclusives and AAA games from other companies. One of these games is Curse of the Dead Godsdeveloped by Passtech Games and published by Focus Entertainment.
Curse of the Dead Gods is an indie game of the roguelite genre that came to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam and the Epic Games Store in February of last year, but was overshadowed by having arrived after Hades, which surprised to fans of the genre a year earlier.

Curse of the Dead Gods is a roguelite game, so each match consists of progressing through a procedurally generated dungeon, choosing a set of melee and ranged weapons at the start of each match, and earning a curse as you pass each room in the dungeon. .
Curse of the Dead Gods’ gameplay focuses on attacking and dodging, just like other games in the genre, but what sets it apart is its lighting and curse systems. In Curse of the Dead Gods your character takes double damage in the dark, so pay attention to light sources, build fires and stay out of the shadows to be less in danger.
As for the curses, this is a game mechanic that distinguishes Curse of the Dead Gods from other titles of the genre, because as we pass each room in the dungeons our curse level increases. When the bar fills up, our character receives a curse that affects gameplay, generally both positively and negatively. An example is a curse that causes your lamp to no longer glow, but removes the extra damage from being hit in the dark.
In my review of Curse of the Dead Gods I said that it is an excellent game that does not disappoint in any aspect, as it has super precise control, a wide variety of weapons, several dungeons with different difficulties and curses that affect the gameplay of the game. very interesting way.
Curse of the Dead Gods is available on Xbox Game Pass for PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles, as well as available on the Xbox Cloud Gaming catalog for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
