Review: “Cult of the Lamb” is cute, but it didn’t make me a convert
“Cult of the Lamb” is a combination roguelike management sim that doesn’t seem built for fans of either genre. Its messy combat system and lack of dimension aren’t likely to satisfy what players expect of roguelikes, a genre defined by its punishingly difficult but tight gameplay and repetition. And as a management sim, it’s obscenely macabre, not exactly the best fit for a genre synonymous with cozy vibes.
Gameplay is split between roguelike dungeon-crawling and managing your flock and cult grounds. In each crusade through the procedurally generated dungeons, or the lands of the Old Faith, you’ll use your newfound abilities to tear through enemies, gather resources, steal devotion from the other four deities and convert their demonically warped followers to your cause.
Slaying demons in the lands of the Old Faith feels like fighting on a slip and slide. Enemy attacks knock you back, your attacks push them away, and the game’s 2.5D perspective would make it difficult to gauge where you are even if you weren’t constantly sliding all over the battlefield. You might think you’ve landed a hit — only to realize your last strike pushed the enemy just a little bit to the side; while it’s still in front of you, now it’s slightly off to the left, so you miss completely.
I found the most success by just bringing my followers along into battle . When I died, I got one free extra life by sacrificing one of theirs.. Your followers are a source of fuel both on and off the battlefield, and you use them as you might use items in your inventory in other games. Draw power from them using sermons to unlock more powerful abilities and weapons.
