Ever since Cursed to Golf was announced, there’s been a decent amount of interest surrounding it, whether it be due to the intrigue of being trapped in gold purgatory or thanks to the fact that it promises a more light-hearted take on the spoiled walk. Today though the anticipation reaches all new heights as Chuhai Labs and Thunderful confirm that Cursed to Golf will be teeing off on Xbox, Switch and PC in the Summer of 2022.
Preparing to swing its way to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC this summer, Thunderful and Chuhai Labs’ heavily anticipated ‘Golf-Like’, Cursed to Golf, release window has been revealed. And alongside that is a rather neat little trailer and demo.
A game that has featured in multiple “2022 most anticipated” lists, players can now see what all the excitement is about for themselves by getting involved in a free limited-time demo for the game. It is available on Steam from now until March 27th at 8pm CET and the demo will give players a feel of how Cursed to Golf’s compelling ‘Golf-Like’ loop works. This means you’ll get to try the kinds of outlandish trickshots that only exist in Golf Purgatory whilst also taking in a taste of a retro-inspired soundtrack.
And better still, for the truly skilled corporeal golfers out there, The Scotsman boss fight lies at the end of the demo. Beating him is the first true test of Golf Purgatory.
“With the heartening enthusiasm surrounding Cursed to Golf, we’re really excited to be moving towards release in Summer 2022 and finally being able to let people play it. Well, actually, we decided we’d let people play it now – hence this limited-time free demo on Steam!” said Game Director Liam Edwards. “Enjoy the first biome of Golf Purgatory, there’s some tricky holes and you’ll even have the opportunity to play against the first boss. Have fun and good luck on getting past The Scotsman!”
What exactly is Cursed to Golf? Well, it’s a golf-like that will see you taking on the role of the Cursed Golfer, trapped in Golf Purgatory after a lightning strike stops you dead in your tracks. To ascend back to the land of the living, you’ll need to play through 18 dungeon-like holes, with these featuring teleporters, TNT, high-powered fans and other challenges that will put your skills to the ultimate test. It’s a ‘Golf-Like’ loop that will see you golf, die and golf again – and we can’t wait!
It’s not just about whacking balls with sticks though and in Cursed to Golf you can get a helping hand on your quest in the form of Ace Cards. These cards give you access to world-bending trick shots, allowing you to stop time, readjust shots in mid-air, freeze otherwise hazardous bodies of water and more. These cards are not only a hell of a lot of fun to use, but will be vital if you are to beat all 18 holes within the PAR counter and avoid your curse returning you to the start and forcing you to golf your way back again.
For now, check out the trailer below or give the Steam demo a little look. We’ll be sure to follow once a fully confirmed release date for Cursed to Golf on Xbox, Switch and PC drops.
We’ve got high hopes for this one, so much so that we’re expecting to need to update our best golf games list.
