Cult of the Lamb is a charming game that is equal parts Roguelite and base building simulator.

You play as the last lamb in (presumably) the entire world, as four deities and their followers have been hunting your kind down to avoid the fulfillment of a prophesy of their defeat by a lambs hands. You are saved from certain death by an imprisoned elder god, and tasked with leading a cult in his name, and dismantling the other religions.

The way this translates to gameplay is by going on crusades through other gods territories, weakening their influence, while also leading and managing your own cult settlement, by constructing buildings and gathering resources for them. Your followers are heavily tied to your progression, as the way you level up your combat abilities is through your followers devotion.

The game has a very satisfying gameplay loop, with you going on crusades to progress and collect resources, and maintaining your cultists wellbeing, during a constant day and night cycle. One complaint I have though, is that the different ways you progress are so spread out, that it is easy to forget about some of them for large chunks of time. I was going through the usual gameplay cycle, when I realized that I had forgotten to hold a sermon each day, which is how you upgrade your combat abilities in crusades. There are just so many mechanics that it is hard to keep track of them all. This is not a dealbreaker, but the game requires much more mental power then it first seems. Cozy game this is not.

Overall though, this game is a fun hybrid of many genres, and also stands by itself as something completely unique.
