A new cult is approaching, and with it a new lifestyle and a new way of thinking that will surely expand your soul to unimagined limits. The road will be difficult, with many trials that will test our tenacity and we will surely have to make sacrifices along the way. But He who waits is not just any God, and everything we do in Worship of the Lamb It will be worth being blessed by this deity. Ready to hear the morning sermon?

Welcome to the Land of False Prophets

everything he touches Digital feedback he is blessed there. On this occasion, in collaboration with the developer massive monster, are happy to introduce us to the Worship of the Lamb. WHEREA title that enters through the eyes at first, although later it clings thanks to very well implemented mechanisms. Halfway between a rogue-like and a management game, it has the best of each genre to make the experience at the controls more rewarding.

The lamb that we control will be the shepherd of that particular flock. We will be the last sheep of our kind to be slaughtered. Although before facing death itself, the waiting God will give us one last chance at redemption. This divinity promises us our to life on the condition of creating a sect which allows it to be stronger. Of course, the bishops of the old faith who once sacrificed us will oppose this decision and will not hesitate to finish us off (again) if our plans fail.

Rogue-like section: become the god of the dungeons

As we mentioned before, the Worship of the Lamb can be divided into two large and very well differentiated parts. In the game looking like a thugwe will have to go overcome the various random stays killing all enemies that come our way. With every Course Whatever we do, we will obtain new raw materials to maintain our sectarian camp, as well as find new followers who will want to join our cause.

In The gate of death You don’t control a lamb but a penguin, but it’s also from Devolver Digital and it’s definitely worth playing.

In total there will be four doors that we will have to open and that will lead us to the four heretics to eliminate. Fortunately, unlike other looking like a thug similar, everything has a very well-adjusted difficulty curve, and I hardly felt like I was at a glaring disadvantage. Obviously, everything you do in camp that we’ll talk about later has a lot of relevance in those action moments. As we construct new buildings and adopt new doctrines, we will get better attributes for the fight and our path will be much more affordable.

Lamb disguised as a wolf

Every foray we make into their dungeons won’t hesitate more than 10 minutes, and there will be no shortage of surprises, random factors and epic battles against the last enemies. All this with a very simple combat system, but which will ask us to be attentive to the rival if we do not want to bite the dust. In addition, at the beginning of each round you can choose a bonus, and get other kinds of help through tarot cards. The content does not stop there, since the progression will be a constant, but in such a smooth way that we won’t feel overwhelmed with so much information. It is that there is even a game with dice which is fun in itself.

Section Management: Create the sect of your dreams

Although the mode looking like a thug it’s fun and it becomes essential to collect followers and material, the “sauce” of the Cult of the Lamb comes from the management of our sect. Once we get tired of swinging swords left and right, The time has come to embody the prophet we carry within and guide our group of followers on the right path. Or in the wrong way, as we want since the sect is ours.

Once our temple and cult statue are created, we will have a world of possibilities waiting for us. To start, we will have to have as many followers as possible… and make them stay with us. We will be able to give you all the comforts to make your stay pleasant, such as a good bed, gifts that motivate you, etc. A satisfied follower equals better productivity when collecting wood or stone, or in times of worship.

Through thick and thin

If “for good” we don’t get the optimal results, we can always apply a heavy hand. It’s a highlight of the game and what does it offer much more gruesome point of view despite the innocence of the little creatures. There will come a time when we can sacrifice our parishioners, send them to prison to ponder their lack of faith, and a thousand other possibilities that you better discover for yourselves.

This behavior of our followers is also very important for us to capture their devotion. If we want to develop new skills, get better attributes and grow our community, It is better for us to collect all the devotion they release at each prayer. In addition, as we progress and complete main and secondary missions, we will receive fragments of tablets that will allow us to enshrine new commandments in our beloved (or feared) religion.

Welcome to the XGOD Community

Just like it goes your way looking like a thug, everything seems very chaotic when you talk about it in the review (and I left a lot of it in the inkwell), but its learning curve is so good, and its control through the menus so intuitive, that we will have quickly understood everything. And just like in its rogue-like mode, Cult of the Lamb raises its hand at the start of the adventure. It doesn’t require you to pace your builds or require certain goals within a set time frame. Each player is free to take as much time as they want to tidy things up in the camp, or rehearse fights as they arise between their dungeons.

Furro Cult

I think I’m not lying when I say that Cult of the Lamb caught users’ attention for its neat visual section. What we see on screen is amazing. The mixture of small creatures of the Lord with an almost angelic innocence mixed with the barbarities they can commit is pure magic. Or rather a very well dosed black humor. No matter what it is, Massive Monster knows how to play very well with this graphic aspect, and does not hesitate to exploit it thanks to the personalization that subscribers can have.

In fact, he won’t hesitate to use that statement even with the interaction with the followers we have on Twitch. Cult of the Lamb has the option that subscribers to our channel who watch us play can customize the name of our subscribers in our game. Even to annoy us or help us while we roam the dungeons. Too bad the interaction isn’t extended to a cooperative system with another friend to make games (and decisions) twice as fun.

Conclusion of the Worship of the Lamb

I put my hands on the fire to make sure that Devolver Digital and Massive Monster have developed one of the best games of the year. The visual aspect attracts a lot of attention, with this mix between angelic creatures and macabre acts that they commit when you least expect it. And while that might turn out to be the main claim, then you get hooked on some very well-implemented playable mechanics.

Both in its rogue-like section with the “dungeon” typical of these proposals as in its management section of our sect, Cult of the Lamb works perfectly. He is very kind to the player, and without making an effort to understand what is happening on the screen, one will get to know all his ins and outs and how to act. In the end, without realizing it, we can spend hours and hours creating the most beautiful religion in the world. Or the most terrifying and brutal that has ever existed. Your sect, your supporters, your doctrines.
