Cult of the Lamb

Cult of the Lamb combines a roguelite dungeon crawl with a base-building cult management sim. Between runs you build facilities for your followers — assigning tasks, managing their faith and needs, performing rituals — while the runs themselves provide resources and unlock new doctrines. Developed by Massive Monster and published by Devolver Digital, it received significant post-launch content updates including online co-op.

Good for

  • Players who enjoy hybrid genre games that combine two distinct loops

Avoid if

  • The cult aesthetic and religious parody content are not to your taste
