Here, I was introduced to the other major aspect of Cult Of The Lamb: building my own cult and managing my followers. Already, I felt like I was in good hands.Īfter fighting through a series of connected tutorial rooms filled with cultists and eldritch beasties, I was teleported to my new home. The Lamb itself doesn't just walk forward, it charges single-mindedly towards its target with a sinister glint in its giant ovine eyes. Cultists explode delightfully into chunks of bone as my sword shwings wickedly through the air. Trees and tufts of grass sway in the wind. From the opening moments I was already marvelling at just how much panache was on display at all times. With Cult Of The Lamb, developers Massive Monster have quickly cemented themselves as absolute masters of presentation and style. In the span of two minutes from starting the game, you've turned from a hapless lamb into an unstoppable servant of Death itself, slashing apart Old Faith cultists like blades of fleshy grass. But then you're brought back from death by a chained godlike being known as The One Who Waits, who promises life and otherworldly powers in exchange for your servitude. You begin life as a lowly lamb awaiting sacrifice at an altar of the Old Faith before four eldritchian Bishops - the big bosses of the game. And it is excellent.Ĭult Of The Lamb gets off to a roaring start. Where am I in all this, you ask? I, the Lamb, the glorious leader of our cult, the holy vessel of Death itself, and the sworn enemy of the Bishops of the Old Faith that are destined soon to die by my blade? I'm kicking back at a nearby camp, enjoying a spot of fishing and a friendly game of Knucklebones. Ritual combat of the elderly is a staple of CultPaperShotgun, and as Alice0 delivers the final blow to an ailing Liam, cries of euphoria reverberate about the camp as his spirit (and chunks of flesh) are donated to the cause. A cluster of other followers are busy dancing around a shrine in the centre of the village, but they all stop to witness a fight between the two oldest members of the cult - Alice0 and Liam. As she works, she spies her good friend Alice B harvesting cauliflowers from the cult's garden, trying to keep as far as possible away from the (now slightly rotting) corpse of Graham that lays nearby. Katharine wakes up and immediately sets to work cleaning up the mountains of poop and vomit puddles left over from the previous night's revelries. Honestly, I think it’s very similar to ] right now because it’s not always an auto pick but can give you some serious benefit in the right situation.Įdit: maybe astrolabe is a more apt comparison since it’s also random in what you get but very powerful potentially.A creative mashup of roguelite and management sim with oodles of character and charm, Cult Of The Lamb is a great (albeit finite) time for players with an evil streak.Ī bright sun heralds the start of day 37 for CultPaperShotgun. I find myself taking it when I don’t really need an extra energy or I’m unwilling to put up with the downside of the energy relics which I’m presented with. This is a pretty low trade off for three relics in my opinion. In my experience, exhausting the curse removes it for that whole combat but it will be back in the next fight. This can easily be remedied if you already have (or are willing to search out) extra draw or exhaust. Sure, there’s no way to remove it later, but at least it’s nothing more than a dead card draw. In the new version you always get the same curse. In the old version the three curses could be extremely detrimental depending on what you get. I think that there’s definitely a place for the reworked Calling Bell which is on PC and have found myself taking it a decent amount lately.
