with the Switch 2 launch

Capcom just announced that Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is getting a new
mode to coincide with its launch-day release for the Switch 2, which is June
5. It's called Otherworldly Ventures and introduces some roguelike mechanics
to the action/strategy game.

In other words, it's essentially an endless mode. You start off with limited
abilities and choose from various upgrades when defeating waves of enemies.
Lots of games do something like this, including titles like Vampire Survivors
and Downwell. It will also introduce a scoring element, for those who want to
ascend a leaderboard.

To make the roguelike-inspired mechanics work, the developers have simplified
other aspects of the gameplay. Protagonist Soh won't have to rescue villagers
and crystals will accumulate more quickly than in the standard game. Also,
Yoshiro will make her own way to the gate, instead of having to be guided.
The whole thing looks pretty fun.

Despite launching alongside the Switch 2, Otherworldly Ventures will be
available for every version of the game on June 5. This includes PS4, PS5,
Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Windows and Steam. It's also free, which is always
nice.

For the uninitiated, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a fun hybrid of
third-person combat and tower-defense. We heaped praise on the game in our
official review, calling it "perfectly balanced, lovingly crafted and metal
as hell."
