There are games that manage to surprise you without you noticing. And today we bring you a little surprise that has caught us off guard and, honestly, has kept us hooked on the console. Cursed to Golf a title that mixes different genres and with a very nice artistic section has made us want to learn the art of golf.
Performed by Chuhai Labs We get a proposal that bets on originality and creativity. If you want to know what we thought of this Cursed to Golf, we will tell you about it below in our next analysis. First release!
you died, little one
We are a small golfer with a bright future about to achieve his big dream and become a champion, we can already savor victory, we are just one shot away… But, we have died, lightning has struck us. Game over? not at all, just started!
We may not become the golf champion in the world of the living, but prepare the world of the dead, we have arrived. In this new world we are a ghost eager to come back to life and our first meeting will be with him. Scottish that he has been trying to get out of there for a long time and that he will very kindly teach us how to get out of there.
to get out of Golf Purgatory we shall exceed 18 holesThis feat has not been achieved by anyone, will we be the first?
I’ve nailed it!
As we have already said before, this game mixes different styles, the first and most notorious, the roguelike and after that of platforms. We will have to progress through the different scenarios (a total of four) until exceed 18 holesa really complicated task and that if you do not manage to gain control and handle all the aids well, it will be almost impossible for you.
We have three golf clubs, each of them designed to be used at a specific time, for example, if we need to travel a long distance or a short one, each club fulfills one of these functions. The terrain is important and it must also be taken into account, if we fall into some arena, we will only be able to use one of the clubs. Therefore, strategy and stopping to think go hand in hand.
The scenarios are of all kinds and they change every time we have to start a run. Impossible slopes, spikes, platforms that take you somewhere… Endless challenges. To get to the hole we will always have a set number of throwsif we reach zero, we will have lost the game and we will have to start from the beginning of everything.
Luckily, we have help and the power of the cards will be present. There are many types and each of them can be found in the form of envelopes with different ranks (gold, silver, bronze…) or we can buy them individually with the money that you have obtained at the end of a game, depending on the number of remaining shots that we have saved, we will obtain more or less money. Although, money and letters can also be found during our time in Purgatory.
Knowing how to control all the cards and knowing what type of suit to use at all times is essential. At first, it will be difficult, but we have a field of knowledge always available to improve.
Every time we are going to change scenery we will have to fight against the boss of each zone, quite challenging each of them. We will have to get to the hole before them, but of course, they have certain advantages that we don’t, but if we aim for some special statues, we can break them and make the boss lose turns in order to get there before him.
For when a second part?
They are artistic section is really nice, pixel art is already something very common among indie titles, but this one with this chibi protagonist, has made us fall in love. The title works really well in its entirety and a run in its entirety can take about 6 hours, but of course, you will have to master the game first to get to that point. So the hours can add up significantly on the scoreboard, it already depends on the abilities of each one.
Normally the roguelikes They have us used to frenzy, destroy our enemies as quickly as possible and if we fell, start over. Here, on the other hand, taking it easy, thinking about the best route and an appropriate strategy when hitting the ball is more rewarded. Finally, tell you that if this title appeals to you at all, give it a chance, since it will get you caught up in your game of golf.
