    Cult of the Lamb is honestly, one of my favourite games of all time. The artstyle is simply amazing, along with the story (which sadly isn't too expanded yet).

    all the different characters, and interactions with your followers made me love it, the moment i first opened it. i love how you can choose, how you wish to treat your servants. you can either (try) to be a merciful god, or    Cult of the Lamb is honestly, one of my favourite games of all time.

    and the fact tgat you can marry your enemies, after you rob them out of their godhood and enslave them is just 10/10 pls buy it its a good game trust me    … Expand

    amazing art style, music and theme
    settlement building is fun but very shallow
    the rest of the game including upgrades and combat is really shallow and basic

    Fantastic game, I really enjoyed it. Quite addicting! Kudos to the sound design team - amazing job, I never digged indie soundtracks too much, but this one is special.

    One thing I'd mention - I'm a casual player and even after switching to easy mode the combat quickly got just too hard all the while the hub builder/managment part go too easy and so my progress in game died.

    Cult of the Lamb realmente é um dos meus jogos preferidos. A forma de você criar a sua seita, o cenário, os seus seguidores, é tudo incrível. Quando alguém da minha seita morria, eu ficava muito triste. Principalmente o meu primeiro seguidor, quando ele morreu eu fiquei bem mal hahahahaha.
    A música desse jogo é impecável, calma, e combina com o jogo.
    MUITO BÃO!

    - La historia es básica pero funciona para el juego que es. La forma en que te relacionas con los de la secta es lo mejor. Puedes pedirles dinero, asustarles, ver como están, qué necesitan, etc.

    - Los bosses son solo eso, bosses. Sin embargo, los adeptos los puedes personalizar, hacer regarlos, tienen edad y se harán viejos y acabarán muriendo. Les coges cariño.

    - Los gráficos están hechos con cariño, las animaciones son brutales y todo en general se ve coherente.

    - Las mazmorras son "repetitivas" ya que hay que completaralas varias veces. Pero cada vez que entras deberás afrontarlo de forma diferente gracias a la generación procedural y la aleatoriedad de las armas y habilidades activas/pasivas que te tocarán.

    - El mundo en el que hábitas es pequeño, lo recorreras muchas veces de lado a lado para ver tu secta, o visitar a ciertos amiguetes. No quiero admitir el tiempo que he dedicado a poner bonito mi asentamiento (tienes que ver como me quedó el cementerio).

    - La jugabilidad es su punto fuerte diría. Las animaciónes son perfectas, la fluidez de los controles es genial y las diferentes armas y habilidades te hacen tener que afrontar el combate de forma diferente cada vez que entras en una mazmorra. Sin embargo las mejoras del personaje me han parecido escasas y poco útiles (así como los atuendos). Cuando tenía algun punto que gastar no sabía donde ponerlo, no porque me interesen varias opciones, sino porque no me interesaba ninguna.    … Expand

    Yönetim kısımları ne çok basit ne de çok karmaşık. İlginç şeyler var. Normal ot yediğinde rahatsız olan koyunları, vejetaryenlik ilan ederek ot yemenin olumsuz etkilerini gideriyorsunuz. Ya da yemek azaldı diyelim, hop üç gün oruç ilan ediyorsunuz ama size olan imanları düşüyor. Arasından biriyle (veya bir kaçıyla) evleniyorsunuz falan.

    Oyunun dövüş mekanikleri Hades'e benziyor. Yolda silahlar her macerada değişiyor, tarot kartlarıyla sürekli değişik bonuslar geliyor. Ama Hades kadar keskin, çeşitli ve eğlenceli bir dövüş mekaniği yok. Vasat düzeyde, iş görüyor sadece. Türü roguelike ama çok soft. Cezalandırması düşük. Kolay kolay ölmüyorsunuz zaten.

    Netice eğlenceli, sonları biraz tekrara binse de oynaması keyifli bir oyun olmuş.    … Expand

Not only a combination, but an interesting direction with it as you control a cult with seemingly cute characters. As you play through the game, you'll find yourself impressed with its simplistic but beautiful graphical direction and interested in the world that it tries to build. I do admit that once you are deep into the game, there is a lack of innovation in the gameplay, but overall I genuinely enjoyed the game even with my lack of interest in games as of late.… Expand

    A limited gameplay that becomes repetitive in the final stretch of the game. However, it presents an artistic design and a management of the cult that makes the game experience very entertaining.

    Este jogo nada mais é que charmoso. Tem um charme em toda sua mecânica (nada inovadora, mas bem montada e que prende). As dungeons e outras missões não deixa a parte de "fazendinha" enjoativa como alguns jogos.
    Seu charme maior está na sua mistura artística.
    É muito gostoso de jogar e lembra bastante Binding of Isaac e Dead Cells.

    This is an incredibly cute game, and one doesn't overstay its welcome, either. As much fun as I would say I had playing this, I no longer have the time to dump dozens of hours into everything I play, and this game is perfect for that.

    Un juego entretenido y sencillo pero adictivo que combina elemento rogue-like y de gestión de una comunidad (secta).
    Su punto más fuerte es la ambientación y el diseño unido a una jugabilidad rápida que siempre anima a jugar "cinco minutitos más".
    Su punto más débil es que si vas a por el "malo final" del tirón, el juego se termina en un día o dos.

    What an amazing game ! i get from steam this october sales with really low price of what it is ... When i start it i didnt stop playing it for straight 10 hours . Its a simplify rogue like game like bindings of isaac and its also a city management game ! These two genge works in perfect balance. And there is also some replay value with events (right now is a halloween one)!! 10/10 must buy!

    Сама игра состоит из двух частей, одна часть - это отстройка поселения. Здесь ощущается сильное влияние Dont Starve - как в графике, так и в геймплее - и это хорошо. Отстраиваться интересно, интересно следить за поселением, но многовато рутины. Каждого благословить, к каждому домику подойти. С развитием появляются автоматические здания, самое полезное из которых - ферма, где последователи сами могут урожай убирать, но всё равно рутины много. Ещё самих зданий маловато - построил ферму, лесопилки, алтарь, домики - и по сути всё. Задания от последователей тоже все однотипные.
    Вторая часть - это roguelike наподобие Bindings of Isaac и Hades. Несмотря на высокий уровень сложности игра заметно легче, чем Хейдс и значительно легче, чем Айзек. Монстры не особо отличаются друг от друга, а боссы вообще не запоминаются. Четверо епископов тоже особой сложности не доставляют, по настоящему сложный лишь последний босс.
    Подытоживая: игра привлекает своей графикой, саундтреком, а также тем, что постоянно меняешь активности - не наскучивает, но строительно-менеджерская часть не дотягивает ни до Dont Starve ни тем более до игр типа Oxygen Not Included, также как и боевая часть не дотягивает ни до Hades ни тем более до Bindings of Isaac. На несколько вечеров - отличное приключение, но перепроходить у меня желание вряд ли возникнет.    … Expand

Die Kämpfe gegen die Mobs und Bosse sind gelegentlich einfach, teilweise auch fordernd, aber nie unfair. Das Tarotkarten-System zur Verbesserung deiner Fähigkeiten ist abwechslungsreich, aber nicht zu komplex und somit auch für Einsteiger geeignet. Die Leveldurchläufe spielen ohne großen zeitlichen Aufwand und man kann super "mal eben kurz" in das Spiel reinschauen. Ein insgesamt kurzweiliges, wirklich nettes Spiel mit ansprechender Comic-Grafik und humorig-düsterem Setting.

    Audio: 9/10 very satisfying sounds, goofy little language they speak in is charming
    Gameplay: 6/10 very little depth to the combat, very easy unless you play on max difficulty (which just strips your hp away). The city builder aspect is good if you like that kind of thing, personally I cannot stand it which made me psychotic.    Visuals: 10/10 excellent style, very consistent

    Cool game, I enjoyed building my cult and grinding the dungeon. The art style is nice and the soundtrack slaps.
    It has some annoying bugs, but I could live with it. I wish there was more endgame cult content, at the end there was nothing to do in the cult section of the game. But I recommend it, I had fun with it.

    This game looks fantastic, has a lot of charm, and is easy to play for hours at a time. Looking forward to any post-game content to be released because I didn’t feel too inclined to keep my cult going after beating the final boss.

    Even the basic balanced alternation between boss slaying expeditions and tending your sheep will provide hours of fun, maybe even dozens of hours. And there are even more things to do in the game, including mini-games like fishing or playing backgammon. [Issue#321]

    While it lasted, Cult of the Lamb was a darkly enlightening experience that wholly delivers on the premise of its cutesy horror genre-mash-up. For the many who have been eagerly anticipating its release, that faith has been rewarded.
