Godfist

About

Godfist is a single player hack and slash game. It was developed by Icehelm and was released on April 10, 2023. It received positive reviews from players.

In "Godfist," players seek revenge against betraying gods, utilizing slot-building combat in a roguelike, first-person brawler. As you climb the tower and battle gods' servants, dealing damage makes enemies and yourself less stable, requiring them to be thrown off the edge rather than defeated by traditional means. Your abilities randomize with every button press, creating unique attacks and an engaging, strategic gameplay experience.

The game features ultra buttery smooth gameplay and a fun, unique combat system that is both challenging and addictive.
It has an interesting premise with a variety of skills and enemies, making it enjoyable for players who appreciate roguelike mechanics.
For its low price, the game offers a solid experience with opportunities for fun builds and a satisfying sense of progression.

The RNG elements can be frustrating, as they heavily influence the abilities you receive and the overall experience, leading to a lack of control over your progress.
The game lacks substantial content and meta-progression, which may leave players feeling unsatisfied after a few runs.

The music consists of a single looping track that, while enjoyable, lacks variety and seamlessness, leading to potential frustration during gameplay. Users appreciate the quality of the fight song but desire a longer version or a more polished looping experience.
- “The fight song is a real banger, but it could benefit from a better seamless endless loop or a longer version.”
- “The music is just one track on a loop, and half the time you don't even know if your hits will connect or not since the hitboxes don't seem to align with the models.”
- “The only negative for me is that while the fight song is a real banger, it should be a better (seamless) endless loop or a longer version.”
