Mad Mushroom and Glitch Factory are teaming up for To Kill a God, a fast-paced roguelike action game with a brutal edge and a bold hook: escape a cursed realm by slaying the divine. It’s launching this winter on PC via Steam, and a free demo is available now for those ready to dive in early.
The setup is grim and gripping: you’re trapped in the Death Spiral, a twisted realm of endless battle, death, and rebirth. You play as a Traveler, one of many who have been caught in this cycle, and there’s only one way out: kill the god who keeps the door locked.
A roguelike that rewrites your path each run
Where most roguelikes give you a map, To Kill a God makes the skill tree your map. Its SkillMap System is not just about buffs or stat boosts, it defines how you play. Every node unlocked shifts your direction, shaping your build, abilities, and strategy. It’s more than customisation, it’s identity.
Combat is equally unforgiving and stylish. Expect fluid, fast-paced action where one mistake can cost you everything. Whether you’re dodging deadly attacks or chaining together spell combos, mastering the rhythm of the fight is key to surviving and eventually escaping the loop.
Choose your Traveller and build your legend
You won’t be locked into one playstyle. Pick a melee brawler, a ranged tactician, or a spellcasting menace, each with their unique skills and upgrades. You can evolve your build across runs by collecting loot, crafting enhancements, and combining skills in unique ways. With enough creativity and experimentation, you can create limitless builds tailored to your preferences.
To Kill a God also throws in a dark, atmospheric world packed with mystery and tension. You’ll explore ruins, face down warped cultists, and fight monstrous demigods all while piecing together the secrets of the Death Spiral. Every run reveals a little more, both about the world and your place in it.
Demo out now – Get in early
The Steam demo is live now, and it’s the best way to see what To Kill a God is all about. If you’re into games like Hades, Dead Cells, or Noita, this one’s worth your time. Expect challenging fights, smart progression, and a world that doesn’t hold your hand.
With its release window set for winter 2025, now’s the time to wishlist it on Steam, test the waters with the demo, and keep an eye on Mad Mushroom and Glitch Factory as development progresses.
To Kill a God isn’t just another roguelike; it’s an intense, deliberate journey through combat, choice, and rebirth. And if you’re ready to kill a god, your path starts now.
