I personally love to preserve the elderly, as well as have a perk that gives me bonus faith if no one goes to jail in a day. Whether you want to have followers give you money through taxes, have them kill off the elderly for bonus faith & devotion points, or even open up the option to marry multiple followers, it’s all up to you. You can customize your Cult’s behaviour and said playstyle by unlocking Doctrines. The sim aspects are not that basic, but not too complex it walks that fine line between manageable and accessible, especially if you play a particular way. Only in Cult of the Lamb, you can lace your followers with mushrooms to keep them brainwashed and happy, as well as turn them cannibalistic via the eventually dead followers who croak to old age. And watching it thrive is a thrill of its own just like how one loves seeing their Animal Crossing resort or The Sims playground get fertile and rich. There’s a lot of charm here in the aesthetics and the noises your cultists make, glossing over the fact that you’re really indoctrinating and brainwashing innocent people to be part of your sect. You can either jail them or murder them away from prying eyes (when you unlock that option).Īnd no, it doesn’t stop being funny and morbid at the same time. When your cult has low Faith, there’s a good chance a follower may dissent and spread lies about your cult, which results in followers leaving you. Speaking of which, there’s a lot of bowel activities going on in the early parts of the game when you don’t have a toilet accessible in the building tree, resulting in a lot of potential fertilizer all over your sacred grounds. Some of them even involve you feeding them their own poop, or other followers the cache of feces you found on your sacred grounds. Heck, they’d even ask you to do quests for them so you can level them up and max out their personal faith to give you. They’re also willing to either marry you (for faith points) or even have themselves up for sacrifice for devotion points. In exchange for joining your cult, you can have them working the farms you built, mine for wood and rock for resources, or even have them consecrate existing resources for better ones.
#CULT OF THE LAMB PLATFORM FREE#
There isn’t a free ride for your followers, don’t worry. The more devotion and spirit you get, the better your weapons and magic (curses in Cult of the Lamb) and your chances of survival are in a Crusade. That straw bed isn’t good enough for your followers? Get them to worship you more and you can build tents and grand houses for them to sleep better in and work better.
#CULT OF THE LAMB PLATFORM UPGRADE#
Yes, you have a shrine (or tabernacle) for your devout followers for them to worship you fill up the devotion meter and you get Divination points which let you build new structures or upgrade existing ones. When they’re happy, they’re prime to give you more spirit energy when you perform obligatory sermons and will dish out more devotion points at your shrine.
If you build your homestead proper with a good amount of amenities and have enough beds and a cooking station to feed your followers, they’ll be happy. If you die while on a Crusade, you lose all items gathered and have to start over. For that bit, you go through a slew of levels, pick different paths that either lead to resources, surprises, or more battles, which all culminate in the stage’s big boss. From there on, you cultivate your own sect and make sure it has some members and is going on strong, while you go on a crusade to fight rivals off in standard top-down 2D roguelite fashion. It makes the work of managing a cult look fun, even though it clearly is immoral.Ĭult of the Lamb pits you as the titular Lamb as it gets resurrected by an unknown (and clearly sinister) deity, who then gives Lamb powers to fight rival cultists and even form one of its own. Yet that’s what Cult of the Lamb actually achieves with flying colours. It’s not every day you have a winning combination of adorableness and blood-themed cults working in tandem. Genre: Part Roguelite action RPG, Part cult-managing simulation
