What it is
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a single-player action strategy game from Capcom, released for Windows in July 2024. Set on Mt. Kafuku, it follows a day-and-night cycle: purify villages and prepare during daylight, then defend the Maiden, Yoshiro, from the Seethe after sunset. The enemy emerges from Torii Gates and attacks the Maiden, while Soh uses sword strikes shaped like dance movements to fight back. Villagers with assigned roles support the defense, making their positions and tasks part of the strategy alongside Soh’s actions. The game draws on Japanese culture through its setting, Kagura dance, masks and music. Steam lists Achievements, full controller support, gamepad recommendation, DualShock and DualSense controller support, Trading Cards, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. The broader platform list names Windows and Xbox Series X and Series S, while Steam lists Windows. The Metacritic score is 85.
