    Very solid game, it combines the village management and roguelite parts of the game really well and I definitely enjoyed the gameplay loop. My main gripe is that the combat started to feel a bit stale after a while, both because of the lack of variety in enemy patterns as well as because the combat itself isn't as tight or satisfying as some similar roguelites e.g. binding of isaac

A priori, durante el primer rato de juego, pinta muy bien con su combinación de dos estilos de juego distintos y complementarios, pero ambos quedan cortos rápidamente. Por un lado está la gestión del culto, que tiene buenas ideas como los ritos y la personalización que aportan, pero rápidamente llega un punto en que tenemos todo desbloqueado y estamos aún fácilmente a mitad de juego; además, la gestión y construcción de edificios y control de los sectarios rápidamente se vuelve trivial a un mínimo que hagamos las cosas con algo de cabeza. La otra parte son las cruzadas (dungeons) roguelike, que al principio están muy interesantes y divertidas pero de nuevo, a medida que se avanza, se quedan cortas. Las salas son poco variadas igual que los enemigos, no hay demasiadas armas y son todas de melee y se diferencian principalmente en el equilibrio entre velocidad de ataque y cantidad de daño. Por lo tanto, una vez has hecho unas cuantas, acabas con la sensación rápidamente creciente de que estás repitiendo caminos y cosas que ya has hecho antes. Y no se puede decir que lo que tiene como historia aporte nada de demasiado interés ni personajes memorables ni nada por el estilo.

    Gráficamente el juego tiene un estilo muy propio pero se acaba quedando escaso a medida que pasan las horas. El sonido es bastante pobre, especialmente en el apartado musical. Pero hay que reconocer que, al menos en mi tiempo jugándolo, no he encontrado ningún bug.

    Por todo ello no puedo recomendar Cult of the Lamb. Un 4,5.

    really cool in concept, nice music, nice visuals. i don't exactly mind that it's very derivative of binding of isaac or hades, but there are a lot of little issues that make it clear the game is just not finished.

    vendors are constantly out and dont restock because there aren't enough non cosmetic items to buy in the game. there are a metric ton of blueprints for items that i have absolutely no desire for and which are entirely useless, but which require a very lengthy and unskippable animation to register every time you find one that feels as if it was added specifically to make the game longer. a few of them are okay but the majority serve no purpose, and you need space for functional buildings so it's not a good idea to build cosmetics early on. also, a great number of them are floor tile patterns, which can only be placed on a diagonal grid, while the plot of land and the paths that you can't move or build on
    are rectangular. this means that basically none of the floor pieces fit into the existing terrain, so it's annoying to keep finding blueprints for them.

    the tech tree is questionable in that you have to grind to unlock every single building individually, and no buildings are unlocked by default when a certain upgrade happens. it's also very limited, so it feels like they just didn't put enough into the budget for this aspect and decided to stretch it out with crappy low level buildings and grindy resource gathering. i've only clocked 8 hours on my save, ive progressed through about 1/4 of the dungeon areas, but my tech tree is already 3/4 full.

    cultists basically behave like a bunch of infants, pooping and vomiting everywhere and losing faith at random even if you check in with them regularly and perform plenty of rituals. this means you basically cant go explore the absolutely necessary dungeons for long before someone gets mad or sick. it feels that i constantly need more cultists to manage each building that i create, but they also are really slow at every task, require crazy maintenance, and age/die really quickly.

    food is really difficult to manage because the only edible crop in the game is berries, which are a huge hassle to produce and can't really be automated by cultists. berry bushes do not drop nearly enough seeds, on harvesting, which means that if you are out of food and your people are hungry, you have to go out and find seeds in a dungeon which may not spawn and definitely won't provide many seeds, plus they will get angry at you while you are gone. the lack of local resource growth in the game is really problematic in general, since i was able to harvest all berries, trees, and rocks in my town within about 30-45 mins of gameplay, but only trees reappear. you also have to go out to get grass, but you can't cut down the grass or weeds within your town for this purpose.

    combat is cool in some ways, but overall simplistic and monotonous even if enemies are visually diverse. many of the spells are just simply bad, others very powerful. so far it has felt poorly balanced.

    the manual saves do not function consistently or at all, so i have lost at least a few minutes of progress every time i relaunched the game.

    overall the largest issue in the game is that it has a game breaking bug that devolver knew about prior to release, since it's on every single platform. ive had the game for only a couple of days and it's already frozen several times to the point where the game itself doesn't register as "not responding" or anything, but it gets stuck in an animation and just doesn't start again. this is supposedly caused by rituals, but it happened to me just while talking to a cultist on the first day i played. if the game crashes and freezes all the time, and im losing progress every time it does so, it's hard to keep launching the game again and i've sat down intending to play for a few hours but only got a few minutes in before deciding it wasn't worth the hassle. devolver has promised a patch for this bug, but if that's all they're patching then it's probably something they planned to do so that people wouldn't complain about all the other little issues.

    i don't think i have even begun to list all of the problematic/dysfunctional mechanics in this game so far, and really i can't stress enough that this game has a lot of potential, but i have yet to play a game from devolver that i liked, and usually because they are buggy and unfinished. the majority of them have a flashy concept and name/cover, but don't pan out. in this case, to paywall a handful of cultist skins is a really questionable move when the game is in such a state, and the dlc is outrageously small even for what it costs. it's starting to seem to me that devolver is where indie games go to die.

    tl;dr:

    An ambitious game that tries to fuse rogue-likes with city building. Its failure at making either of these components truly good left me frustrated by the waste of potential instead of enchanted by the beautiful artwork and excellent final boss fight. The epitome of all style and no substance

    Pros:

    - The art direction is phenomenal, straddling the lines between adorable and nightmarish perfectly
    - The creative use of the cult theme with resource management mechanics is brilliant. You'll drug your cult up on magic mushrooms to keep their loyalty locked in for a few days, ascend them to another plane when your followers start to get out of hand, put followers in prison for re-education when the start to question your leadership, and so much more.
    - When the game gets into maximum rogue-like chaos mode it succeeds in making the gameplay feel exciting and special. Its unfortunate though that it only feels this good by playing extended runs after beating bosses, which is not only totally optional but doesn't give the player any special rewards for completing (if anything it may punish the player for doing runs like this)

    Cons:

    This section is best broken up into the cons surrounding its two separate components - the rogue-like and the city building.

    Rogue-like Cons:

    - Runs offer little in the way of upgrades as you make your way through the dungeons. The game uses Tarot Cards as its means of giving the player upgrades, and the average run nets the player about 3 to 5 of these cards. Because of this the dungeon crawling aspect never feels all that unique or powerful, the player feels about as strong at the beginning of the run as they do by the end.
    - Upgrades have little to no synergy with each other, meaning that different runs tend to feel about the same as all other runs.
    - Choices in paths made in the dungeons don't feel impactful.
    - Surprises & chance encounters the dungeons don't affect gameplay enough.

    All this combined makes the rogue-like portion of the game feel like a uniform slog which is the exact opposite of what i want from a rogue-like. Important choices and builds that result in rare playing experiences are the keys to making each run in a rogue-like dungeon crawler feel special. Cult of the Lamb fails in creating that feeling in its dungeon runs.

    City Building Cons:

    - Most choices when deciding the operations of your cult don't seem to matter. Whether choosing between two different ways to get the same perk or whether to unlock this building before the other, by the end you don't feel like you've lost or gained anything due to opportunity cost.
    - The economy seems way off in terms of timing. By the time i unlocked every building and every dungeon upgrade, I still had half of the story left in the game, so the rest of the game becomes kind of keeping your cult maintained for no reason.
    - The game got backwards what it ought to be automating. Strategic allocation of your cult members is more or less handled by itself, meaning all that's left for you to do is the busy work of running around and collecting resources. Automating the strategy and leaving the coin collecting to the user results in this part of the game at times feeling like high quality freemium game - something to run through while your eyes glaze over

    Because of all of this, the game doesn't have any replay ability because by the end of your run, you've done everything and to play it again would just mean a more or less urgency & strategy free run through doing the exact same thing over again.

    Verdict:

    The game is undeniably beautiful and clever. What it's not unfortunately is a very good game, which is a shame because it had the potential to be great and could have been fixed with several quality of life fixes. Better economy scaling, more synergy between power ups, more power ups, and more interesting decisions all seem like very fixable issues for a game, but are ultimately what makes this game a bore instead of the masterpiece i feel it had the potential to be. It's a total shame.

    Cult of the lamb is a unique rouge-like sim game that have elements of base management that compliment each other very well. The rougue-like dungeon crawling part of the game is quite standard such as limited HP, weapons are RNG based, with a mixed of "cards for talents" which are cards that provide you bonus perks and stats which are also RNG.

The rouge-lime aspect of the game kinda remind me a little of binding of isaac in a good way which is a plus.

    The base management in the game is really fun as well with the focus of building and growing your cult. This includes building new structures, farms, and other bizzares structures that help grow your cult following and also the quality of life for your followers and your settlement.

    I love the visual of the game with its cute artstyle but yet somehow able to blend with the dark theme of the game, they have some really good soundtrack and the UI in the game is also really easy to navigate that makes me appreciate the little things. As much as I love the game, there are some minor issue that I had encounter during my 30 hours gameplay. There are quite a number of bugs such as enemy not spawning thus I'm not able to proceed to the next section of the game which require me to restart, your followers at time would not pop up a speech bubble when you interract with them. Hopefully future patches are able to fix these bugs which otherwise a really great game.

    Overall Cult of the Lamb is by far one of the more unique and visually pleasing game I played this year. If you're into rouge-like games or base management games or just a game you want to jump in and out anytime you want, you definitely should not miss out on this.

    you play as a lamb who’s a demonic cult leader. the gameplay loop is all about making your cult bigger and more powerful, followed by taking on randomly generated dungeons and defeating bosses. just note that dungeon crawling is not what you’ll be doing most of the time.

    base building and managing is the meat of this game. spending time with your followers doing cultish activities like holding sermons, rituals, sacrifices, confessions, asking your followers to fight to the death, etc., is extremely addicting. you’ll assign jobs to each follower and become a self sufficient community. it’s a fat grind and can be repetitive, but it never bored me once.

    the rogue-like action of this game is satisfying and very similar to isaac with random weapons and buffs for each run. it’s not too challenging, but it’s a nice balance of rng and skill. the runs only last on average 10 mins, which makes sense bc the in-game time still ticks when you’re dungeon crawling, meaning your followers will still be active, and you sure don’t want to leave your flock starving!

    it’s a mix between the action of isaac and hades, with similar base building from don’t starve, and with a small hint of animal crossing mixed in. all that blender together with the satisfaction of being a cult leader who leads the flock however you so choose makes for a damn good game. the music and atmosphere is also great.

    it’s not a super long game, if you take your time with side quests and mini games it can definitely last 15-20 hours.

    if you like base builders or rogue-likes do yourself the favor and try this game out. i haven’t been addicted to a game like this in a while

    In Cult of the Lamb, you take on the role of a lamb initially brought to the slaughter but was resurrected from death by an imprisoned deity called The One Who Waits and must repay your debt by building a loyal following in his name.

Start by recruiting new followers to the flock, building a base for them to live in, going on bloody crusades against the otherworldly entities that trapped him and free your master.

    Cult of the Lamb is equal parts dungeon-crawler and religious management sim, with your tasks divided between tending to your devout flock of followers and fighting through procedurally generated dungeons. These dungeons are fairly short, consisting of several stages that players can clear to obtain valuable resources. During each stage, you will also encounter unique NPCs who can empower you with talents, offer powerful weapons, or award an assortment of stone, wood, or foodstuffs (including seeds) to cultivate your growing commune.

    The loop of gathering supplies, tending to your worshipers, upgrading both your character and your settlement and then going out to do it again is extremely satisfying, with a charming art style and expressive animations that bring joy to every moment of it. Cult of the Lamb is definitely a uniquely refreshing game that is highly recommended as one of the best indie game of 2022.

    Su punto más fuerte es la ambientación y el diseño unido a una jugabilidad rápida que siempre anima a jugar "cinco minutitos más".

    El mejor juego del año hasta ahora. Y si, he jugado todos los demás e incluso más de los que se imaginan. Las críticas que veo sobre Cult of the Lamb son:

    1. Se parece mucho a otros juegos que ya vimos.
    No me digas, es un Roguelike con gestión, que esperabas?. Es como decir que un Metroidvania pierde puntos por ser una copia de Metroid o Castlevania. COTL se influencia de TBOI, ETG, hasta de la gestión o el sistema de pesca de juegos como Stardew Valley. Está mal esto? NO, de hecho mejora en muchos aspectos a algunas de sus influencias. Trabaja sobre sus errores y los mejora. Imaginate seguir jugando TBOI en 2022.

    2. No dura 500hs.
    Si, vivimos en una sociedad. En una sociedad basura que pide que cada título dure 500hs porque sino no es worth comprarlo. Jamejodé, le metí 16hs, lo hice al 100% y me quedé satisfecho esperando más contenido. Ahora a jugar los otros 50 títulos que tengo en la espera. No es culpa de nadie que sean unos secos que quieren hacer durar 500hs cada juego en lugar de ir jugando diferentes títulos. Si hubieran sobreextendido este juego, sería aburrido y repetitivo, ahí si. Igual no niego que le falta contenido endgame, pero no es para matarlo.

    3. La crítica, muchas veces tácita que vi en varias reviews de pren$a es que les moja la oreja. Si, se sienten zarpados. Porque saben que esta "secta" se parece mucho al partido político para el cuál trabajan estos mercenarios. Les molesta y les da incomodidad ver los paralelismos que hay con sus vidas. Como sirven sin cuestionarse nada siguiendo el billete y persiguiendo falsos ídolos.

    Mi reseña no entraría en este pequeño texto, tengo mi pág, hago mis propias reseñas sin fines de lucro. En mi caso el juego recibió un 86/100 y hasta el momento es el puntaje más alto de este año. Todavía queda mucho, pero por el momento es un juego sublime, cuidado al detalle, muy bien logrado y sobretodo, que no está acá por la moda de los Roguelike, los Soulslike ni nada de eso como muchos otros que se notan, solo están por los billetes. Y también vi en algunas reseñas de pren$a que lo comparaban con Hades, diciendo que COTL es inferior. Jugabiemente claro que si, es mucho más simple, aunque a veces la simpleza es orden. Pero no olvidemos que Hades es solo un Roguelike de combates, COTL usa los combates de dungeon crawler como complemento para la gestión, el progreso y la narrativa. No vi casi ningún juego en estos últimos años, intentar todo esto a la vez y hacerlo más que bien.
