This week we saw the launch of Cult of the Lambthe most recent indie gem published by Devolver Digital that was developed by Massive Monster. Cult of the Lamb combines the roguelite and life simulator genres, which is why it has attracted fans of both Stardew Valley and Hades and similar games.
Many times video games offer multiple game mechanics and they are not always essential to enjoy the experience, so it is possible that there are people interested in Cult of the Lamb even if they are not fans of the games. roguelike. If you want to know if it is possible to enjoy Cult of the Lamb while ignoring the roguelike aspect, read on a little further.
Also: 6 features of Nissan e-power technology that explain how it works.
First you have to understand the premise of Cult of the Lamb: At the beginning of the game four ancient bishops sacrifice a lamb in order to prevent a prophecy from being fulfilled, but in the afterlife another entity known as “The One Who Waits” makes a agreement with the lamb to bring him back to life in exchange for him making a sect in his name and assassinating the 4 bishops.
Cult of the Lamb is divided in two, because on the one hand you have to go into the enemy territory to kill the bishops and sub minions, which makes up the roguelite action aspect of the game, while on the other hand we have to manage the resources of our sect, build new facilities for our subjects, attend to their needs, those of the temple, and more.
As you can see, the main goal of the game is to kill the 4 bishops, so the roguelike aspect is the main one if what you want is to reach the credits of the game and finish it. However, if you are only interested in managing a cult and not much into combat, let me tell you that Cult of the Lamb offers enough mechanics to play this way, although it would not be possible to finish the game in the traditional way.
It is necessary to make expeditions to enemy territory to get materials, but once you get the first ones you can build buildings for your minions to collect materials for you. If you learn to organize your sect efficiently, it is possible to have a constant flow of resources without the need to go out on expeditions.
Unfortunately if you play this way you will be very limited, as some additional characters and areas are unlocked on expeditions. However, just as it is possible to play Stardew Valley while ignoring the RPG aspect, the friendships and romance you can make with your neighbors, it is possible to play Cult of the Lamb while ignoring a significant portion of the game.
On the other hand, if you like Roguelike games but don’t like life sims like Stardew Valley, Cult of the Lamb becomes a very difficult experience. because the best weapons and curses for the expeditions are achieved by growing the sect.
