That’s right – Cult of the Lamb<\/strong> takes all the difficulty of a rogue-like<\/strong> and pairs it with cutesy characters, base-building<\/strong>, and sim-like mechanics. The art style and soundtrack give the game unique appeal<\/strong>, but there’s more behind the would-be sacrificial main character than meets the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n

Let’s dive into the game <\/strong>to see why Cult of the Lamb might appeal to more than just fans of games like Binding of Isaac<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Story, setting, & tone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The setting <\/strong>of this game is very simple<\/strong> in that it’s established from the beginning moments of the game. You are a sacrifice<\/strong> to other-worldly gods for something called the “Old Faith.”<\/strong> Except, you aren’t quite sacrificed; instead, something calling itself “The One Who Waits” revives you<\/strong> at the cost of creating a cult<\/strong> in its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To that end, you roam around various areas controlled by Old Faith followers, recruiting people to your cult <\/strong>and slaying heretics. This may not have Warhammer<\/strong><\/a> levels of lore, but the game establishes its story much more by “showing” than “telling.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characters, though their existences seem bleak<\/strong>, have personality and a certain whimsy <\/strong>about them. The pairing of this levity with darkness<\/strong> keeps the narrative from feeling too overbearing or simplistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cult of the Lamb performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Massive Monster<\/strong> built this game on the Unity engine<\/strong>, so it runs very smoothly. The only hiccup I encountered was when I first loaded into the game. It did not natively detect my monitor’s aspect ratio<\/strong> and I had to set it manually. In the grand scheme of things, however, this is not a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most computers should be able to run it well along with the consoles on which it is available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
