It’s that time of year again! We’re counting down the days to Christmas with our own little “advent calendar” – one new game to play over the holiday season each and every day.
As the year winds down, things get really busy. We’ve got Christmas parties to attend, the end of year rush on work, and all the rest of it. But it’s also a time where we take holidays, find a moment to relax, and enjoy the company of others. This is the best chance to catch up on some key games that you might have missed from the year… or just play that multiplayer game that you’ve been waiting to get a crew together for.
Day 7: Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
Did you know that in Japan one of the big Christmas traditions is a special KFC order. No, really, KFC does a special box that features eight pieces of chicken, a shrimp gratin and chocolate cake, and that costs about $45 and counts for a full third of KFC’s annual sales in Japan. The point here is Japan does Christmas a little differently, so why not bring something very different from Japan into your Christmas?
Kunitsu-Gami is a very different game from Japan. It’s deeply Shinto in aesthetic, narrative and design, and while it’s a tower defence genre play at the end of the day, it’s also a very different kind of tower defence experience. It’s also really, really good and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
