Cult Of The Lamb Expands To 1 Million Players In First Week

Cult of the Lamb is a roguelike title that integrated several successful elements to craft a wonderful experience. The cartoonish indie game developed by Masive Monsters has taken the internet by storm. Blending elements from games like The Binding of Issac to Stardew Valley, you find a bit of everything here. 

Cult of the Lamb is based around players running religious-esque cults to compete with monsters who tried to sacrifice the “innocent” you. The antics of running a cult often lead to some hilarious and vile results. Explore and fight enemies in Zelda-esque dark rooms with crisp and fast-paced combat and hire new people to either integrate or sacrifice them.

Cult of the Lamb appears to be a simple game on the surface, but the in-depth incorporation of all the elements and an end goal worth chasing leaves a great aftertaste. Get your blind followers to gather resources and manage a colony of people ready to die for you. The adorable cartoony style with the horror premise is a commercial success.

The title does not demand in-depth strategic thinking in colony management, and the players can enjoy it at their own pace. Cult of the Lamb is an evil version of Animal Crossing but for all the good reasons. The combat remains fresh by players earning tarrot cards to change the stats from time to time.

The game has already garnered 1 million players in its first week. The official Cult of the Lamb Twitter handle commemorates the event by letting the world know about it.
