Garnering massive attention before release, and gaining 1 million players in its release week, Cult of the Lamb has gained quite the <em>cult <\/em>following. Heh. A combination of a cutesy art style and outright gruesome subject matter are large factors in the game\u2019s instant success. (Well, Massive Monster\u2019s active Twitter and Discord probably helps.) Cult of the Lamb is both a survival sim and a dungeon crawler at once; the player, a sacrificial lamb turned cult leader to a deity dubbed \u201cThe One Who Waits,\u201d travels a randomly generated world to fight and defeat non-believers, indoctrinate new followers, and ultimately work their way to defeat \u201cThe Four Bishops of Old Faith\u201d \u2013 those who killed them in the first place. Afterwards, the cult leader returns to their \u201cflock,\u201d their titular cult, partaking in nail-biting resource management and trying to keep their cult fed, rested, and, of course, faithful. There\u2019s no doubt that Cult of the Lamb\u2019s signature art style is equal parts adorable, beautiful, and horrifying, but the game released with many bugs upon release in all ports, and the combat leaves something to be desired. Can this game, like a true cult leader, blind us to its flaws with sheer charisma?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cult of the Lamb is a 2.5D action-adventure strategy indie game released by Australian studio Massive Monster Games on August 11th, 2022 on the Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox.
