Cult of the Lamb: Cultist Edition

Runs fine under GE-Wine on Linux, fun game with lots of personality. Highly enjoyable.

Normally "cute" games are far away from anything I would love to play, but "Cult of the lamb" catched me right from the first minute I saw it at the Summer game festival. At the moment I write this review day 50 at my Cult is reached and I had slain the first too bosses. Somehow I installed the game at around 14~15 o'clock and found myself still playing at 1.30 the next morning. Time really didn't matter 'cause of the ingame fun ;) Don't get let the cute art style coozy you. The game has a real dark and ironic humor and shows you what you can do with a Cult or maybe not. You can manage (-cough- manipulate -cough-) your followers as you want. For example: - Make them work for you (24/7 if you have the right present) - cook for them or poison them - imprison "evil-doers" (-cough- non-believers -cough) - let them eat grass or make them cannibals - brainwash them and much more. In the end it's all up to you 'cause "All hail the Lamb" ;) I highy recommend using a gamepad while playing the game. That works so much better than keyboard and mouse. ______________________________________________________________________________ Normalerweise sind Titel mit "niedlicher Grafik" eher nicht so mein Ding. Cult of the Lamb hatte mich aber komischerweise von den ersten E3 Trailern direkt. Der niedliche Stil täuscht komplett über den düsteren und skurilen Humor des Spiels hinweg. Es macht irrsinig viel Spaß den Kult zu errichten und zu sehen, was sich die Entwickler ausgedacht haben. Man kann seine Anhänger wie man möchte managen (-hust- manipulieren -hust-) z.B. - laßt sie für euch arbeiten (mit dem richtigen "Geschenk" auch gerne 24/7) - ihr könnt sie verpflegen (-hust- oder vregiften - hust) - Verbrecher (-hust- Ungläbige -hust-) können eingesperrt und umgeschult werden - laßt sie Gras statt wertvoller Güter essen oder macht sie zu Kannibalen ;) - Gehirnwäsche steht ebenfalls zur Wahl Aber am Endet entscheidet ihr gemäß dem Motto "Preiset das Lamm"

Extremely fun little base builder game with rogue-like elements for "dungeons" and combat. Whilst you can be a good god, it's way more fun to be an evil god and cause terror on your cutesy followers, who will worship you no matter what. I just wish the animations were a little bit more gruesome sometimes, just for the fun of it LOL. Real criticisms I have for the game though: Managing the cult can be a bit of a chore sometimes, specially since the time cycle goes too fast in my opinion. But that's only sometimes and it is still fun to do most of the time. At one point the game *forces* you to lose basically all your money in a scripted event and doesn't give it back to you anymore. Not a super duper big deal, because at that point in the game money wouldn't be a concern anymore, but still a bit frustrating to see all the money you earned simply disappear because of something you can't control. That's it, everything else is great. Also, I've been playing on Linux, and aside from some heavy stuttering for like a minute whenever a I boot the game, it runs perfectly afterwards. Using Proton 8 , as proton 9 is broken. It did crash on me once, ironically it was during the credits. No other bugs occurred in my experience. Solid 4.5/5

This is my first favorite resource farming and simu-stratergy game with roleplay + simulator + strtergy + easy dungeon + smooth control. The upgrade designed very well you cannot find a rest between run dungeons (make money and bones) -> cook -> rituals.. Everything runs correctly makes the game perfect. The farming are easy and the management are fit to players like me, who like this type and has some mind. I love this game because it makes me substituted into the lamb, everythings like dream, the lamb is very cute too, the elements won't make people feels afraid/tired/hate/horror/hardcore-flat-cheap, If you like these typies of game you can try this. You can experience the feeling of "have subjects" "control everything" "motivative battle" "resouece farming" "upgrade 3 kind of skilltree(-book)" I continued played about 6 or 8 hrs first time to make everthing goes cycled, 3 grade of city hall talents, 6 unlocks of city rule, 3 grades of battle perk. The weapon and battle controls are nature and normally. Game progress is fast and compact if you are good at farm/stratrg/simu games. Level-up looks hard but fast. It did what a good offline game should have.

This is one of the most charming games i have ever played i started playing yesterday and havent stopped this is a must buy if you have the money! if not its still a must play do what you gotta do dawg. this ish fire! all hail mother lamb
