    This is not a game for those who want a fast reward or an easy ride, this is a slow paced methodical game with plenty of micromanagement and depth. The myriad of special events and miracles per cult each and the unique disciples with their own stats (who amusingly die like flies)

    The depth of this game is what keeps me coming back, I've played about 5 full games now, which might not seem like much but my last game soaked up over 12 hrs worth of gameplay and I lost, but I still learned a lot and had a lot of great moments.

    I must say the learning curve was pretty steep But if you stick with it, it's well worth it.    … Expand

    Just a great great game. Deep , immersive and innovative. The way you shepard your disciples through the decades is very rewarding indeed and there is always something to do. Not easy to learn though, do not expect your hand held.

    A brilliant breath of fresh air. Coming out of nowhere Cults & Daggers invents a new sub genre within turn based strategy. It brilliantly combines a system focused on your religions disciples with the ability to manipulate cities over hundreds of years.

It brilliantly combines a system focused on your religions disciples with the ability to manipulate cities over hundreds of years. The game is a challenge to understand and play as it has zero compromise when it comes to expecting player engagement so casual gamers should not apply.

    But if you want something genuinely new and innovative to turn based strategy then this is it. Highly recommended.    … Expand

    A game about faith that plays like a poem or an odyssey into the world of gods and mystery cults. Part myth of its own making and part exploration into the many strange and varied religions of the time Cults and Daggers is something new. It is hard to explain why such a rough and hard to learn game is so touching, the disciples who come and go with their little lives if part of it, but soA game about faith that plays like a poem or an odyssey into the world of gods and mystery cults.

It is hard to explain why such a rough and hard to learn game is so touching, the disciples who come and go with their little lives if part of it, but so is the art and the gradual unfolding of the gameplay as the world gets more and more chaotic.

    My game of the year so far.    … Expand

    But other than those minor grievances, I found the overall experience to be a fun, unique experience that lends itself to a variety of play styles, giving it a good amount of replay value. With a little more polish, it could become a cult classic.
