Yoshiro is the key to everything, and you must protect her.
What is Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess?
If that sounds familiar, it’s because Mojang Studios already attempted this melding with Minecraft Legends.
To start, I wanted to know where Kunitsu-Gami got its beginning.
You play as Soh, but you definitely can’t do this alone.
This is where it all began."
On top of that, we were able to modify it to make a new gaming experience."
“We wanted to have as many users experience Kunitsu-Gami since it’s a new IP.
You play as Soh, but you definitely can’t do this alone.
It turns out Xbox helped, too.
For the creators, it’s all about the players.
If you’re worried about that, though, let me lay those concerns to rest.
The team at Capcom seem to be building something special.
Once you begin playing, though, Kunitsu-Gami doesn’t stop being unique.
You and Yoshiro explore Mount Kafuku, which has been overrun by the Seethe.
This is when Kunitsu-Gami’s wholly unique gameplay experience comes through.
There’s not much dialogue in Kunitsu-Gami, but the art style is marvelous.
At night, the Torii gates open and the Seethe come to hunt.
It’s a dynamic cycle, but it’s not the same each stage.
You win or lose on your own merits as a warrior, strategist, and leader.

Instead, the narrative is delivered through the actions of the characters, unspoken words, and the environment.
“The lack of dialogue in cutscenes is deliberate.
“We want to leave it up to players to see how the story will go.”
And these allies can be upgraded, too, to make them more potent in battle.(Image credit: Capcom)
In this aspect, Kunitsu-Gami is certainly more gameplay-driven than narrative-driven, but that’s not a bad thing.
There’s so much potential here, and I can’t wait to see if Capcom delivers.
Understandably, Hirabayashi and Kawata can’t wait, either.
They’re not the only one, though. Base camps will let you change much with Yoshiro’s help.(Image credit: Capcom)
“We’re really nervous.
For the creators, though, it all depends on us.
We’re not saying that we will, of course, but it depends on the players.”

I don’t know about you, but I know I’ll be there from the beginning.

The Archer is useful for dispatching flying enemies and holding high ground.(Image credit: Capcom)
The Ascetic can slow groups of enemies and give your allies a chance to breathe.(Image credit: Capcom)

Or the Sumo Wrestler, but this one may be more obvious.(Image credit: Capcom)
The Woodcutter, at least, is simple — a basic but effective axe-wielding warrior.(Image credit: Capcom)
There’s a lot of fascinating lore to discover in Kunitsu-Gami if you look for it, it seems.
I’m very eager to slay a lot of Seethe.
How much will we learn about Yoshiro and Soh during our adventure?
