About a month ago, we had the pleasure of playing a development version for the latest from Massive Monster and Devolver Digital: Cult of the Lamb. This week it finally goes on sale, so we take the opportunity to share it with you our impressions about the one that has been seeming to us one of the best indie games of the year. Attentive, because the thing promises a lot!
Creating a cult to our measure
Putting ourselves in the skin of a lamb that was about to be sacrificed, we will have to build our own cult to seek revenge, and things will not be easy! The first thing that strikes you about Cult of the Lamb is that it mixes a series of ingredients that make it a very diverse game: it is about a roguelike with city management elements. Thus, on the one hand we will be going through dungeons in which to defeat enemies, look for new acolytes and become stronger. On the other hand, we will find ourselves in our cult, managing its members, building new facilities and keeping the basics at baysuch as food, hygiene or the good condition of our facilities.
In addition to your main playable cyclethe game offers many other things with which to pass the time, such as the possibility of giving sermons, some other quite fun minigame or the personalization of our followers (which we can even name… although we recommend not getting too attached to them just in case).
Having a fair dose of challenge and a good learning curve with quite challenging bosses, Cult of the Lamb it seems to us that it might well be destined to become one of the best exponents of your gender. A game with very good qualities that we will be able to talk to you about in greater depth very soon.
Fighting fire with fire
The visual section of Cult of the Lamb is amazing. Despite its apparent tender and docile appearance, given its sectarian theme, the game has scenes of authentic terror that clash quite a bit with its aesthetics. This is precisely why we think it works so well. Their soundtrack also quite successful, a certain relaxing touch that helps us feel fully immersed in the title. Thus, our only concern for the launch of the game is that the title may become something repetitive in the long run. We’ll see when the time comes.
And so far our first impressions about Cult of the Lamb! If you want to know more about the title and its possibilities, you have available a demo and steam for you to try his original proposal. In any case, there is very little left for you to enjoy it for yourselves.
Cult of the Lamb will be available for Nintendo Switch from this August 11 by 24,99 dollars in digital format. occupies a space of 1554,00 MB. If you like games like this, don’t hesitate to give it a try!
