Cult of the Lamb has a lot of promise but fails to deliver on a couple fronts. Here's what I liked:
- the soundtrack is excellent
- the art style is fun and cute
- the idea is good at its core
- managing my cult was addictive and kept me up past my bedtime
Unfortunately, that's not enough to carry the game. Cult of the Lamb suffers from serious shallowness. The combat is really poorly executed -- targeting and frames feel unreliable. There's also no depth to combat. You are given a random weapon and a random right click cast ability each dungeon run. The only difference between the weapons is their attack rate/animation and damage. You can upgrade weapon damage and special effects as a whole from your cult base, but it doesn't add depth, just numbers. The same is largely true for the curses. Combat movement is all just rolling and attacking, no special moves or attack combos.
Enemy mobs aren't very unique. They wind up and slash, spit orbs, jump and land, the usual stuff. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the game and haven't found a particularly innovative or unique boss or mob yet. Every dungeon run feels basically the same, it just lacks any real complexity.
As for managing your cult, it's extremely fun at first, but soon becomes a slog. Once you have 10+ cult members you're not going to want to go around blessing each one for faith improvements. It soon becomes apparent that base upgrades aren't actually game-changing or interesting. In fact, many of them just automate tasks that you shouldn't have to do from the start.
For example, your cultists can chop wood and mine stone and plant seeds, but they can't harvest crops or clean up their own shit unless you build the right t3 building for it. Yes, you need a t3 building just to eliminate the slog of harvesting crops.
The other decisions you can make at your cult base are equally bland. Changing your cult doctrines isn't as interesting as it could be -- the doctrines are usually negligible or have one choice that's clearly better than the other. Honestly most of the doctrines haven't changed my game at all. So my followers get a faith bonus when I upgrade their homes -- completely meaningless since their faith is maxed out most of the time anyway from just doing basic upkeep and care.
There's no real sense of choice or strategy when building your cult. You can unlock all upgrades, and you will -- quickly. I was almost finished with all the tech trees halfway through the game. You don't really build your cult per se -- it feels pretty on rails. Sure you can choose where you put buildings, but there's not much else by way of agency.
Also, the game is stuffed to the gills with decoration bloat. You're supposed to be jazzed to unlock new blueprints but they're all just meaningless decorations that you're not gonna waste much time on anyway. You don't need them, they grant no bonuses, and they just clutter up the base. I would be more interested in customizing and building out an aesthetically pleasing base if I had any real agency over my cult.
All told, this game is shallow as it is now. I would recommend buying it at $15 if it goes on sale to that price level. Right now $25 is too steep -- the game just hasn't delivered on its idea in-depth. The game could benefit from the devs revisiting combat to make it more complex and challenging, or to give it some additional strategic depth and uniqueness between crusades. As for the cult management, certain processes should probably be automated from the start. It would also be nice to see more actual choice in terms of the direction your cult goes in, and the impacts that has on your playstyle. As it stands now, impacts from cult choices are minimal to nonexistent.
All told, I'd give the game a 6/10 right now. The first several hours are addictive as hell, but you'll soon find yourself getting bored and a little sick of picking crops and cleaning up shit.
