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
  • Those who like building and managing a community between action sequences
  • Co-op players — 2-player shared-screen or online co-op added post-launch
  • Players who appreciate games with regular free content additions

Avoid if

  • You want a deep roguelite — the combat is simpler than genre specialists like Dead Cells
  • Base management that requires daily follower maintenance can feel like a chore over long sessions
  • You want either a pure roguelite or a pure base-builder rather than a hybrid of both
  • The cult aesthetic and religious parody content are not to your taste
