Minutes into the demo, I found myself somewhat engulfed in the game, and this was all thanks to the calming music. It’s difficult to pick a card, but that’s also part of the fun! On the second playthrough, we were presented with cards that changed our statistics, one card gave us two extra bonus HP hearts (shield?) and the other was to receive double the health while healing. During one run, we just rushed through and got to the boss with just our basic weapons and magic. With the likes of Stardew Valley or even Animal Crossing, this entire part of the game seems like it would succeed as its own game.Ĭult of the Lamb adds a ton of variety and mixes up the levels so much so that even in two playthroughs, each experience was completely different. Although, as long as followers were fed, then everyone is happy. Managing a cult, collecting resources, and feeding your followers feels like it could end up as a micromanagement fest. Gather materials like wood, ore, and berries to build new areas like a kitchen, then food can be made to feed your followers. Absorb souls then command them to manage your cult. On the surface, Cult of the Lamb might look like another hack and slash game with cute characters, but it ends up being quite unique. Developed by Massive Monster, Cult of the Lamb includes dark arts, a cute lamb, and even managing a cult. Headlining Devolver Digital’s PAX East 2022 booth is Cult of the Lamb.
