OK, so it is a fairly out-there suggestion at first look, however bear with us. What do you do in a Pokémon recreation? You collect animal-like creatures, battle others, after which have your captured beasts be just right for you in numerous methods? Proper? Proper? Nicely, that’s the premise of Cult of the Lamb!
However, you recognize, so very darkish.
This not-for-children cult sim is performed in two distinct halves, a bit like Moonlighter however with sacrifices. Half the time you’re working your own home base, increase locations in your acolytes to dwell, worship, and be just right for you. The opposite half, you’re off on rogue-lite missions to battle by means of plenty of real-time fights, and gathering new followers, with the general objective of murdering historical gods.
OK, so it’s not enormously like Pokémon, but it surely’s definitely a cathartic expertise after spending just a little too lengthy throughout the saccharine world of Nintendo’s creations. In case you ever needed to place concern into the hearts of your Pokédex by selecting certainly one of them at random to sacrifice in your honor, then that is the sport for you.
