A series of unlockable village outposts near your cult add everything from amusing new characters to side quests to mini-games, including a clever tap-to-reel fishing mode and a tricky, surprisingly engaging spin on Yahtzee. While its randomly generated battling levels clearly draw inspiration from Binding of Isaac, Cult of the Lamb's upgrade system requires careful curation of the cult's farm region, in terms of resource management, skill-tree decisions, and even side quests to unlock more "Tarot cards" (which are shuffled and randomly dealt during battling encounters to increase your chances of survival). Thus, to complete a certain mini-quest, you'll have to use this tarot card while out in an encounter-which will add spice to tough encounters, since selecting this card will prevent you from choosing some of your useful battle-specific cards.īut this game does more than merely lift another decades-old game's mechanics.

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. ![]() Bloodless Carnage : Ironically, despite the incredibly gruesome, violent, and dark nature of the world, as of the Steam Demo, any enemies simply turn into bloodless skeletons upon death without leaving so much as a blood. ![]() 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. In-game, the Lamb also manages to rack up a truly impressive bodycount despite being the only active combatant in his cult. 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.
