![]() When the faith meter gets too low some of your cult members will start to dissent, which will spread throughout the cult if not dealt with. I felt like the game could have been more clear on that, I spent a portion of my early playthrough struggling to maintain the faith meter, and later I realized it was because I was getting penalized for waking up my followers to give them sermons (this happens if you do any actions at your temple during the night). The faith meter will go down if your cult isn’t happy, and that usually happens when the hunger or sickness meters are low, but there are a number of other things that will bring it down as well. The easiest ways to increase your cult’s faith meter are by giving a daily sermon and performing rituals. Faith is the overall well-being/happiness of your cult. The three most important of these aspects are Faith, Hunger, and Sickness. ![]() There are a number of systems that you must learn about and more importantly, learn how to manage in order to build a thriving, successful cult. You are only building on one plane and are limited by the grid-based placement system. Don’t expect Minecraft levels of customization or creative potential. As you play you will expand your catalog of options and will be able to add a little flair to the layout of your cult’s home. Once you have a few resources you can start building certain pre-selected structures. As your cult grows you’ll be able to assign many different tasks for the members to carry out, but at the beginning, there are only a few options. You can collect resources by interacting with the trees and rocks (simply hold down the A button), but you’ll want to assign your cult members to collect the resources for you. The cult area is a grassy expanse with some trees and rocks of various sizes strewn throughout. You are given a slew of tutorials at the start of the game and more throughout your journey explaining the mechanics of the base building/cult management portion. The cult building portion of the game takes place in a medium-sized area. This upgrade tree makes a huge difference because it unlocks much more powerful weapon variants and a variety of potent curses (the game’s name for spells). To become stronger in your crusade runs you need to upgrade multiple aspects of your cult, such as the members’ devotion to you for instance, which is attained by giving a daily sermon – the more cultists you have, the more points you will earn. ![]() Neither side of Cult of the Lamb’s gameplay truly stands out, but they synchronize well together they balance each other out and have multiple synergistic systems. ![]() I was curious how the two styles of gameplay would fit together. I’m not really big on management or base builder games, but I do like action roguelites. He offers you the chance to be revived but only if you help fulfill the prophecy, meaning you will have to start a cult in order to accumulate power so you’ll be able to defeat the four bishops. As the executioner’s ax blade falls, the screen goes white and you awaken to see that you are in a new area. The prophecy states that a lamb will help The One Who Waits escape their captivity and then overthrow the Bishops, thus regaining its spot as the one true god. They say that you are the last lamb and that once your character is killed the prophecy can never be fulfilled. The intro sets up the basis of the game with your character (a small lamb) on the chopping block, about to be executed on order of the four Bishops who rule over the land. If for some reason you answered no to both questions, Cult of the Lamb is still worth a look due to its unique blend of gameplay styles half of which is roguelite action, and the other half is building a village and managing your cult, ensuring its survival and expansion. Have you ever thought about starting your own cult? How about a cult made up of cute anthropomorphic animals? If you said yes to either of those questions then Massive Monster and Devolver Digital have just the game for you: Cult of the Lamb.
