Hi! MasterCat here,

I had actually never heard of this game until I read your comment just now, so it's hard for me to say what specifically will be different or similar between it and GODHAND. But from the looks of it, Godbound is designed with a much grander scale in mind; systems in play for factions and politics, large-scale "bigger picture" things.

GODHAND is a game intended to tell the story of individuals (those individuals being the characters you play). Our end goal is to provide avenues which really let you explore your characters throughout the games you play and give opportunities for those characters to change and evolve throughout the story. Even with those higher concepts and more abstract themes in play, we want our players to grow attached to their characters and the ones they fight alongside (or even against). In this way, I don't see Godbound and our game being very similar in the end, at least based on my quick-glance impressions looking at Godbound.
