    Hades, Diablo 3, Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Bastion, The Binding of Isaac, Into the Breach, Enter the Gungeon, Neon Abyss, Dead Cells…these are just a few examples of games I own running at a flawless 60 fps on Switch. Many of these games are much more demanding in performance, some of them fully 3D. Most of them are less expensive than Cult of the Lamb.

    Devolver, if you don’t have the technical chops to make your game run as it should on the Switch, please have some decency and respect for your customers, and don’t try to scam them into paying 25$ for a half baked, buggy game that can’t even maintain a proper 30 fps.

    Shame on you.

    Please make us all a favor and ignore our console. Remain on PC if you can’t code.    … Expand

    Ive had 2 issues which have made me reset the entire save file over.

    Ive had to reinstall the game twice because of "corrupt data".

    The game is simply not ready to be released on switch.    … Expand

    Cool game, with a cool "cult management" aspect.
    Yet unplayable on switch, after mid game, you can't fight (freezes, low fps, even crash at some point)

    If you want to play, go with an Xbox of smthing else

    The game itself 8/10 :
    The mix of base management and Rogue-like works perfectly, the universe and the visual style are very good too!

    The Switch version 0/10:
    Lags even when preparing dishes, slowdowns during fights, softlocks three times in a row on the 4th map ... I gave up on finishing the game on Switch in its current state (1.0.2)

    The game itself it's 9/10! It's an awesome game, i spend about 10-15 hours to beat them. The Switch versions have a lack of shadows and cropped map compared to PC or Playstation 5, everything is zoomed in! If you have more than 25 followers, it's impossible to walk inside your cult. The game have frame drops, freezes, soft locks, is a mess! A lot of fun, but a mess.

    I liked the gameplay, but the state of the game made me hate the game. Poor optimization. The game has problems with memory leaks. Lags between time of day changes. The game has not received any solutions to problems for almost a month. At first I set medium difficulty. In the end, the difficulty was reduced to easy, just to get through the game faster and not see the lags.

    The game would be a fun one, unfortunately the Switch version's frame rate is extremely bad. Most of the game is laggy but barely playable, during the bosses things got worst and it's very frustrating. I hope they will hire some porting expert to make a proper release since it would be really the perfect Switch game but is really hard to suggest the current version. Wait or buy on other console.

    I bought switch version, instead of Xbox, and what I've got? Unstable 23-27fps with stutters, when there is Hades on this platform with smooth 60fps, it's unplayable, what's next? Pixel graphic games locked on 30fps with framedrops? Is switch really so weak? Or someone has hands from his back?

I honestly don't know what the reviews are talking about with the frame rate issue on Switch. I bought it there so that I could have it on the go. The frame rate has yet to make the game "unplayable" or even unenjoyable for me. If that is something that you are worried about I'd look for it on a different system as it's available everywhere.

    Fun early on but a lot of it is quite flimsy and seems like it wasn't play-tested. Even without the increasingly frequent bugs and the alarming frame drops, it's a 7/10 at best - the progression is rote, the combat is so-so and the village management gets repetitive fairly quickly.

After putting my time into it and rolling credits, I don’t see the need to go back and felt satisfied with where it left off.

    One of the biggest complaints for me is by the end game, my favorite part of the game, the cult village section becomes much less enjoyable due to lag, dropped and skipped frames, frozen movement etc. This may be a problem with the Switch hardware (or just the need for a few updates) but either way it was upsetting for things to fall apart once my village starts to come together in the way I worked towards the entire game.

    Many roguelites dig their claws into you with the gameplay and give you that feeling like you have to keep playing and keep playing, but my main pull in cult of the lamb was to get my ideal village built and once that happened right around rolling the credits, I did not feel the need to pick the controller back up, and that’s ok, it respected my time and I had a lot of fun getting to the end.

    I’ll keep my eyes peeled for any future updates or DLC Massive Monster has planned and who knows, maybe I’ll jump back in, but for now I can be happy that my Cult is absolutely flourishing    … Expand

    I really loved this game. I travel a lot and I really enjoyed being able to play something on the go (and weirding out nearby passengers who saw my screen). I got strangely enthralled by my morbid little cult. I have yet to play a "sacrifice them all" run, as I came to like my little underlings too much. I was sad to see their mortal life come to an end.

    Plus: - Art and music -    I really loved this game. I travel a lot and I really enjoyed being able to play something on the go (and weirding out nearby passengers who saw my screen). I got strangely enthralled by my morbid little cult. I have yet to play a "sacrifice them all" run, as I came to like my little underlings too much. I was sad to see their mortal life come to an end.

    Plus:
    - Art and music
    - Delightful animations, and small details in cutscenes
    - Hard but rewarding combat
    - Pleasantly morbid

    Cons:
    - Struggled with performance late game on the switch, framerate dropped.
    -Wish the skill/development tree was longer and had more clear branches. Now it really felt like you'll just unlock everything in due time, and when you've done that there's nothing else to do. I would have loved a bit more tactical re-playability.    … Expand

    I love the crossing this game brings between the rogue-lite chaos and the colony management however the frame rate and bugs were not appreciated.

    Cult of the Lamb is a beautiful marriage of cuteness and macabre, in an adventure with experiences that change every time we play.

    Cult of The Lamb works so well because of how quickly the game feels. The roguelike elements never feel dragged out and too repetitive. The cult management elements never makes you feel as though you have to grind for that next upgrade. Players start the game running and never let up. There is always something in Cult of The Lamb making it an addictive title.
