New layouts and equipment loadouts keep every run unique, while its intense and chaotic battles demand your full attention. We appreciated how this dungeon running element of Cult of the Lamb manages to always feel fresh while never overstaying its welcome. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Though you start out each run with one random weapon and curse you can later occasionally acquire new ones to swap in as rewards for clearing a room. while your curses usually give you some sort of AoE attack like a long range sludge bomb or a burst that pushes away any enemies close to you. Weapons run the usual gamut of axes, swords, gauntlets, etc. Most weapons-except the dagger-can take down enemies in just a few hits, and you also have a very useful dodge roll to grant you some precious I-frames. On normal difficulty, combat manages to strike a nice balance where you’re always kept on your toes, but never quite feel like you’re being overwhelmed. A full dungeon run should only take you about ten minutes or so, and you’re sure to collect plenty of spoils along the way to help aid in building your commune. The roguelike half of the gameplay follows many of the expected trappings of the genre you start out with a basic weapon and a limited use active skill and battle your way through room after room of enemies across randomly generated maps. Gameplay is one part survival sim and one part action roguelike, divided neatly between your duties tending to your ‘flock’ and your efforts to fight your way through the forests of heretics. Though there are bits of lore sprinkled in there explaining more of the conflict between The One Who Waits and its four brethren, the story mostly takes a backseat to the excellent gameplay after the first couple hours. Your lamb thus sets out to form a cult of its own in the name of its patron Eldritch Abomination, building spiritual power to aid it on the long quest of vengeance.

Little did they know that sacrificing your little lamb actually sent it straight to The One Who Waits, who resurrects it and gives it spooky powers in exchange for its eternal loyalty and commitment to killing the other four gods, which would free The One Who Waits. The four resident Old Ones really weren’t fans of The One Who Waits, so they imprisoned it in another dimension to consolidate their power over the woodland creatures. You begin your journey by being sacrificed by a woodland cult which is killing the poor creature because a prophecy stated that a lamb would be the vessel by which The One Who Waits would make its glorious return. It’s intense, it’s cute, it’s stressful, and it’s absolutely something that you need to try out. The latest in this long line of the publisher's memorable releases, Cult of the Lamb, places you in the role of an adorable fluffy lamb harboring the soul of a sinister ageless deity. Eviscerate houses full of goons as a drug-addicted ninja with PTSD. Rob pretentious rich people as a con man in 18th century France. Play as an ape escaping its captors while freeform jazz blasts in the background. Devolver Digital has always had an eye for some delightfully odd gaming experiences.
