Summary

Almighty Kill Your God’s is a really good game let down by a lot of mechanical issues. You play as someone who is tasked with rebuilding an island and the tower of power (I like to call it that). The gameplay is a 3rd person action brawler with loot drops aplenty. Collect materials, find treasure, and buy loot to increase your power and abilities but also build and upgrade the village’s output. It’s not all plain sailing, the tutorial is spread across initial missions and it’s done is in such a slow and clunky way that you learn what it wants to tell your before that happens. Kill Your God’s takes mechanics from other games and that’s fine as it makes sense for the type of game but the constant difficulty balances ruin it. First off the game uses the Demon Souls death system, upon death, you drop everything and have your next life to grab it all back. Another mechanic is one I last saw in The Division, extraction – you don’t get to use any loot until you have extracted it from a set portal. Like I say all combined it’s a fun set of mechanics but you die so easily early on, extracting is hard as the Ai numbers can vary wildly from none around to a screen full of them as that’s another mechanic at play. Randomization – loot, materials, and enemies all randomly spawn every time you visit an island. It’s a good way to preserve the game’s life but it can cause games to be fun or flat. The Tower is your main focus, you upgrade the levels of it to add stat buffs and unlock more options, around the tower is a load of vendors, blacksmiths, and vaults. I love having an overarching challenge to the main action part. You build the village up so they can produce materials and gold for you so it pays to take it seriously. I need to also mention that I only have a dozen or so hours in and I don’t feel like I have scratched the surface. Gameplay is very plain until you get better loot but even then it’s not a huge game-changer, the game needs more locations, more enemy types and to make online easier. Players are supposed to be able to see each other when playing online but I have yet to see one, I know the player numbers are not really high but still. I would say Kill Your God’s is worth a purchase now despite the niggles and inconsistent performance, its a really fun take on a game I have my eyes firmly on. This could be something special.
