    A great combination of rogue like and management sim that you can getting lost in for hours very easily. Heartily recommended

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Indie game gold! Can’t stop playing. Dungeon runner with some resource management. Cult rituals are quirky and fun. A must have game. Game of the year contender for sure.… Expand

    Un jeu bien équilibré entre l'aspect rogulite et le côté gestion du cult et des ressources. La difficulté peut être modifié pour que tout le monde puisse apprécié le jeu.

    Итак игра отличная.Совмещает в себе так и экшен рогалик, и симулятор ухаживания и строительства.Эта игра хоть и в 2D но графика отличная.И затянет она на много!

    Hands down my favorite game of all time. The art style, attention to detail, quality of life changes, replayability, I could go on and on. Provides a good challenge, downtime is chill, the MUSIC IS SO GOOD, followers can be adorable, hilarious at times and overall the village aspect is just done so right. Not too much, not too little.

Provides a good challenge, downtime is chill, the MUSIC IS SO GOOD, followers can be adorable, hilarious at times and overall the village aspect is just done so right. Not too much, not too little. This game has stolen my heart completely, and they just keep updating the game for free (I was unaware/unexpecting). From launch til now at least on Xbox is a drastic improvement on an already amazing game, it runs so stable and looks just incredible for the style. Makes a great gift as well, I can't stop going back to make a new village or expand a prior, or up the difficulty. Highly recommend, this game is a gem.… Expand

    Really cute and fun game. Thoroughly enjoyed it, my only disappointment is that there isn't a whole load of replay value after you've finished the main story. I would've liked a reason to keep going on crusades, but it seems pointless as there is nothing to gain from it. Experienced a few glitches but nothing game breaking, only once lost progress on a crusade because an enemy got stuckReally cute and fun game.

Looking forward to seeing what content they plan to add to the game in the fututre!… Expand

    I will not lie this game was great! i am kind of new to the hack and slash dungeon crawler games but this game was amazing. I really love how dark the game was when it came to what you were doing, although the graphics really fit pulling you away from some dark and twisted game! However. What’s keeping this game an 8 and nothing higher is how much you have to actually babysit your cultI will not lie this game was great! i am kind of new to the hack and slash dungeon crawler games but this game was amazing.

What’s keeping this game an 8 and nothing higher is how much you have to actually babysit your cult before you can go into combat and i mean it’s good but you almost have to spend days with them at some points. I really loved the tarot cards as perks. I really loved it and you have to say it’s very creative!… Expand

    The Graphics are very charming and the gameplay is very fun and reminiscent of Games like Death's door. It has a lot of Interesting boss and mini-boss fights. And Building your Village rarely feels tedious. One of my favorite Games.

    Cult of the Lamb is of course a very popular game and I understand why: it's cute, disturbing, and an excellent game to stream.

    I can honestly say that Cult of the Lamb was a pure enjoyment with every minute of gameplay and worth every penny of the $24.99 price tag. Massive Monster Studios has an iconic hit on their hands with Cult of the Lamb and that is thanks to a simplistic yet fluid gameplay mechanic, combined with a creative community management balanced with exploration and depth that rival some mainstream titles. After playing this, I am looking for something this year that can come close to touching this for Game of the Year. I can say that I'm a devout believer and 100% converted follower to fan.

    Cult of the Lamb has made a follower out of me. Recruiting followers, building a base, and running through a gratifying loop of fighting, looting, and dying all merge into an incredibly satisfying game.
