Cult of the lamb review simulator#

Each weapon feels different to use, offering different methods of play – although the knife items feel useless, and leave much to be desired. The dodge roll is responsive and fast, allowing for varied and fast-paced action. The controls in Cult of the Lamb are simple, and the health bar is torn straight from Legend of Zelda, but these are great things considering the game is just fun to play as it is. Like Hades, each crusade is different, complete with randomized weapons, tarot cards that function like godly boons, and spells to help cull your enemies, culminating in a boss fight that grants the cult a new follower.

The roguelike elements of the title ALWAYS provide a different adventure each time. While the lamb protagonist is cute, looks can be deceiving, and you can pack a mighty punch on the roguelike swarm of enemies you face off against.Īlthough the community management lacks the depth of, say, Animal Crossing, it is just enough to stay varied and addicting. This brings about the Lamb’s journey to start a cult and gain followers in the cause, while going through biomes to eliminate heretic monsters. Right as the axe is being brought down, bringing upon your untimely demise, a demon saves you from your hour of reckoning, in exchange for undying devotion. In Cult of the Lamb, the player is dropped into an unfortunate scenario, where, as a fuzzy protagonist, you are about to meet your maker as a literal sacrificial lamb.

Now if only I didn’t have to wipe away their poop so much, my crusade would have been perfect.Īs the name suggests, a big portion of this game is about experiencing the feeling of raising a cult.
