A really charming and entertaining game.

Cult of the Lamb is a mix between a City Builder and Rogue-Like, and it surprisingly does both sides pretty well, the combat side is fun and highly replayable, it can be challenging even at the lower difficulties, so caution is advised, the city building aspect is what you expect for the most part, you gain followers for your cult and you gotta make sure to meet their needs in order to keep them loyal and happy, which can be harder the larger it is, specially when it comes to keeping them well fed, you can customize your Cult with several buildings, which can help keeping it going or being simple decorations.

As you go through the game, you unlock several things that can affect your run, one being the fleeces which will have a different effect on your Crusade, such as increasing magic dmg at the expense of HP and Melee dmg, or making you run faster and having more HP while being unable to roll.

The other thing is the Doctrines, every time you unlock one you get to choose between two of certain categories, this will affect how your Followers behave and react to things, such has making them accept Sacrifices rather than being afraid of it, or making them Cannibals lmao, later on in the game you get the ability to obtain the ones you missed, so feel free to go with what you wish.

Overall the game is pretty good... sadly, theres one issue i couldnt ignore, bugs, yeah the game bugged for me on several occasions, for the most part it was visual bugs, so it didnt affect me much, but on other times it did cause me to have to reset the game to fix it, and it could be frequent at times, which did got annoying, despite this, the game is still fun and worth to play.

If it wasnt for the bugs i would give it something higher score.

8/10, definitely worth.
