Focus Home Interactive and developer Passtech Games have announced the Early Access launch date of Curse of the Dead Gods.
The action adventure rogue-lite has you exploring an ancient Aztec-style temple, filled with traps, monsters, weapons, relics, and loot. All in your quest for greed, ascension, and confronting the God of Death.
Corruption builds as you explore, eventually manifesting as a curse. Players can intentionally avoid or attempt to be cursed, to gain new powers to help push on further. However, each curse is a double-edged sword.
With the game coming to Early Access, more updates will also come over the next few months. Including new temples (“each with their own universe, unique traps and enemies”), along with new game mechanics, weapons, curses, relics, and game modes. This will alongside features and improvements based on community feedback.

You can find the full run-down (via Steam) below:
You seek untold riches, eternal life, divine powers – it leads to this accursed temple, a seemingly-infinite labyrinth of bottomless pits, deadly traps, and monsters.
Your greed will lead you to death, but that is not an escape. Rise to fight again. Delve deeper again. Defy the malignant deities that linger in this place. Battle through hordes of enemies in dark, cavernous passages filled with traps and secrets of all sorts – fire-spewing statues, explosives, hidden spikes, and worse.
Collect mystical Relics and an arsenal of weapons to make yourself unstoppable. Corruption builds in you with every step – encourage or ignore it, but each powerful curse can be a double-edged sword.
