With the standard of a rough like, I would say this game is easy, it has some mechanics which makes the game so simple but the calm of managing your cult between round makes the game so satisfying. The base building lend itself so well to the action since you get buffs based on your progress, and the with each run your able to gather materials and followers, there is also a good chunk of content after the game has ended. Overall I say this is a must play for rough fans just don't expect a challenge from it.
This game is so repetetive, without any time to explore or have fun because someone is always in need of something. A lot of things in the game are also hidden, which makes you waste them once you use them. I gave this game a couple of tries and still dont like it at all. A shame since i like the artstyle and the idea
[h1]Madness has a new face! BOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR LAMB![/h1] I've already played Cult of the Lamb on Switch, and I was more than happy to support Massive Monster by picking it up on Steam as well. And honestly? I have to admit... it's just as much fun the second time around. But what exactly is Cult of the Lamb? Well, you basically play as a cult leader and build your own little village, which is populated and run by your loyal followers. But if you want your cult to rise to power, someone else has to fall. And by someone, I mean the Old Gods. So... how exactly do you do that? [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Well, it's actually pretty simple. You kill them. Because underneath all the cute little animals and cozy village-building, Cult of the Lamb is also a damn good action roguelike. You head into dungeons, hack and slash your way through hordes of enemies, collect loot, and then return to your cult to perform rituals, unlock upgrades, and make yourself stronger. Eventually, you'll be ready to take on the Four Old Gods. And of course, there's more to the game than just the main story and dungeon runs. There are plenty of fun minigames and side quests to keep you busy, and quite a few of them genuinely had me entertained. [h1]Presentation[/h1] I absolutely love the art style of Cult of the Lamb. At first glance, everything looks incredibly cute and wholesome. And then you realize what kind of game you're actually playing. Satanic rituals, sacrifices, curses, and violence are just part of everyday life. You know, the usual stuff. The music fits the game perfectly as well. There were plenty of moments where I found myself completely vibing along while playing. [h1]Final words[/h1] If you enjoy roguelikes, like building and managing your own base, have a bit of a fascination with cults, creepy rituals and questionable sacrifices, and somehow haven't heard of Cult of the Lamb yet, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I had an absolute blast playing it on Switch, and I'd happily buy it again. Take care. [quote] If you enjoyed the review, check out our curator page!
