After walking down a narrow stone corridor, you are greeted by robed cultists and The Old Gods: four monstrous beings to whom the inhabitants of this strange land are (mostly) loyal. Take all this and add a simple but engaging narrative, and you've got a cult classic game well-worth playing.Ĭult of the Lamb begins at our poor, titular lamb's end. It couples two popular genres and smartly avoids their potential pitfalls while showcasing the best things they bring to the table. That tenth time, however, is while playing Massive Monster's Cult of the Lamb, a delightfully demented roguelike that combines fast-paced dungeoneering, bold art, dark topics, and real-time simulation elements to create a one-of-a-kind experience. If you like what you see here and want to see more, you can check me out on Twitch and YouTube as well.Nine times out of 10, being a lamb led to the slaughter is not the best position to find yourself in. This post was first published on Indiecator by Dan Indiecator aka MagiWasTaken. I’m incredibly excited for this and I can’t wait to see how you build up faith, what combat is like, if there are any upgrades of sorts, and what direction I’ll be able to take my cult into!
There is no set release date yet for Cult of the Lamb but if you want to, you can give it a follow or add it to your wishlist on Steam right here. If you have five minutes of time, I’d recommend giving that a watch! What’s more, is that I’m a sucker for great soundtracks and Cult of the Lamb will feature original tracks by none other than River Boy himself! In a video, he and the Creative Director (Julian Wilton) talked about the soundtrack and how it came to be, which is incredibly interesting. That paired with the 2.5D perspective and the incredibly adorable art style is bound to make some heads turn… and if you combine cute animal followers with mature topics, you practically can’t do anything wrong, right? I have high hopes for this as combat looked incredibly fun (kinda like in Hades?) with you having to dash and dodge around, swinging your weapon and unleashing your fury onto the enemies standing in your way. Leading a cult and being able to be “evil” without it being too disturbing sounds incredibly fun and I always wish for more games that embrace evil protagonists more, as I mentioned in the past. I’m incredibly excited about this premise as it not only combines two “genres” that I truly enjoy – Base-building and Action-Roguelikes – but I’m also looking forward to the thematic of the game.
And well, throughout the game, you’ll have the option of deciding what sort of cult leader you’ll be as well, swinging between good and evil, tending to your followers or going for a darker path of sorts.
In between runs, you’ll also work on your own cult and tend to your needy followers as you build up a base and feed these hungry mouths. The action-roguelike and dungeon crawling aspects of the game will take you to a land of false prophets where you’ll enact your true power as you rescue followers and punish those heathens. At its core, this adorable Indie title is an action-roguelike game with base-building and colony sim elements where you play as a Lamb that was meant to be sacrificed by a cult but ended up becoming a cult leader themselves instead.
