Along the way, you can collect resources, new cult members, and tarot cards. Called crusades they work on a roguelike system where you drop into a randomly generated Zelda-like dungeon and you work towards killing the big boss in the area.
#Cult of the lamb review upgrade
You start out with a pretty big upgrade tree, but by the middle, you’re more or less just upgrading the same building you already have without too many exciting or weird new ones. This is true for most of the building upgrades too. Especially as the game goes on and your cult starts to become more and more self-sustaining.
Most issues with happiness and food can be solved by just feeding your members or just talking to them. All of these have very fun animations based around them that are great to see, but they don’t really serve too much purpose. There is also a chapel where you can upgrade your lamb and perform rituals for a variety of bonuses at your cult like: keeping happiness at max for a few days by feeding them psychedelics or making them fast for purity. Most of this is based around further expansion for construction and just keeping your members happy. The base building and management is simple, you’re making buildings to collect resources, feed your cult members, and collect devotion, with a few extra buildings for bonuses in the roguelike area.
Both are disappointingly a bit light on normal difficulty. Base building/Cult management and a roguelike light. It also really pushes you to try to collect all the different kinds of decorations and species of cult members you can collect so you can really make your cult feel personalized and as goofy or horrible as you want.įrom a gameplay perspective Cult of the Lamb is broken into two halves. It’s a wonderful artstyle that really elevates everything around it. Highlighting but also somewhat masking how truly vile some of this all is under a layer of carebear style big eyes and bright colors.
#Cult of the lamb review series
In some ways, it harkens back to the ancient internet series The Happy Tree Friends, which was a collection of short animated videos about incredibly cute animals dying in horrible and gory ways. Sacrifice, brainwashing, poop feeding, cannibalism, nothing is off the table as long as it goes towards appeasing and freeing your god. Of course, the prophecy is true and you are tasked with making a cult for said god and doing whatever you want with their cute trusting eyes. You play as an adorable lamb, hunted down by jealous gods because of a so-called prophecy in which a lamb will be their undoing and bring about an ancient chained god. It’s this very contrast of hyper cute artstyle against hyper dark material that Cult of the Lamb builds its metaphorical and physical church.
#Cult of the lamb review code
MonsterVine was provided with a PC code for review.Ĭult of the Lamb on its surface can be described like how I pitched it to my girlfriend: “Satanic Animal Crossing.” It hits all of the hallmarks of collecting cute animals to live alongside and building your own space as you want, but also you can sacrifice said cute animals to an old one while you and your friends look on in joy. Making sure they remember who’s in charge… it’s your god, right? Making the hard choices that no one else can. How would you fare as a cult leader? Shepherding your flock to appease your all mighty god.
