Turns out that golf and roguelikes don't really mix that well. Here's our review of Cursed to Golf, which has some very satisfying aspects, but is mostly a meandering experience full of tedious levels that relies far too much on luck.
Golf, from my understanding, is a sport where practice is everything. Natural ability takes a backseat to repetition, ingraining form and power into muscle memory until precise control is second nature. It’s this cyclical nature of the sport that led Kyoto-based developer Chuhai Labs to imbue it with roguelike elements in, an unconventional combination of golf, platforming, and randomization that has occasional strokes of genius but is far from a hole-in-one.
It doesn’t take long before the roguelike elements are harshly juxtaposed with the premise of golf itself. Golf is meant to be a slow methodical game that minimizes luck and rewards careful planning. Everything from the wind speed and direction to the tree placement and slope severity are taken into consideration by pros to get the lowest score possible.
On that note, it’s important that I take this time to clarify that there is a major difference between something being challenging and something being mean. Difficulty is highly subjective but it generally involves being skilled enough in the mechanics to reach an outcome that is hard to achieve but alwaysattainable and fair.
