A cult in lamb’s clothing
This summer, it’s finally time to start the cutest lil’ cult you ever did see.Cult of the Lambwill launch on August 11 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch.
The news was part of today’sDevolver Digital summer showcase. In between skits about Mecha-Suda51 and the convergence of all video games, Massive Monster’s adorable roguelike-meets-management game finally locked in a release date. We also got anew animated trailerhere:
A demo forCult of the Lambislive on Steam today too, ahead of its August launch date. That way you can try out taking over the woods before you buy all the way in.
Building up a new following
Cult of the Lambfollows a little lamb, who narrowly avoids being destroyed only to become beholden to a dark spirit. Paying back your debt means assisting this spirit in taking over the woodlands and destroying the other prophets.
Along the way, you can recruit a following of other happy creatures to do your bidding. That means harvesting crops, building new structures, and gradually constructing a quaint home base you can visit between escapades.
It’s a cool town-building twist on the usual action-roguelike formula. I got todemo a build at PAX Eastearlier this year, and was really own over both by its style and its compelling management.
As the summer showcases start to ramp up, it’s nice to see a cool project get locked in for a release date, and so soon at that. Looks like I’ll be building up my own following in just a few months.
