  • Here's our full review of Cult of the Lamb on Nintendo Switch - please note that some PC footage is used to show certain further parts of Gameplay and controls due to Devolver not giving early Switch codes (but were super helpful) but all Visuals and performance and much of the other footage has been overlayed with Nintendo Switch and that section is also Switch specific! Let us know what you think of the game and if you've picked it up! #CultOfTheLamb #NintendoSwitch #review

    Update: I forgot to read the part of my script about death - when you die you lose some but not all of your gathered items, there’s also a power up room to stop you losing anything (but whether you come across that is random). Overall, death in Cult of the Lamb is forgiving.
    Hey SwitchUp Family - is this one you’ve been looking forward to. It’s always a little worrying when a publisher holds back one platform - the day one patch has clearly fixed some things but it’s good enough for now. Mark

    I love roguelikes that have a world outside of the dungeon crawling element. Moonlighter and Rogue Heroes are other examples of this! Moonlighter has you running a shop selling the things you've looted, and Rogue Heroes has you building up your village and exploring quite a big map. These extra elements supplement and expand upon the roguelike part, so you're not just doing run after run. You have something outside of the dungeons that you're making progress towards.
    I think many people are starting to feel burnout from the sheer quantity of roguelikes that are currently being released, many of them not being very good and not adding anything substantial that hasn't already been done, so it's nice to see roguelikes that take a different approach!

    I am really surprised how none of the reviews I've seen have mentioned how BUGGY this game is!! It really could have done with another 3 or 4 months in the oven, or maybe even a early access phase - from broken quest progression (requiring you to abandon a save) through to followers refusing to tend mines and lumber yards, and other systems not quite working together in the way that was probably intended, this really feels like a pretty rough release....

      I agree a buggy mess with game breaking glitches. I like the game very rare to find dark theme, farming and base managing sim. But total mess, hang on loading and kept getting crashes which forces the Switch to exit the game very annoying after a run very laggy in Anchordeep and SilkCradle. I managed to get third witness eye just I was about to leave thd game sudden exit. I won't play again till the devs patch the game. Such a shame I really enjoyed playing.

      I think that's pricey given that the Switch version is inferior to other platforms. There is a huge difference between 30fps and 60fps, particularly in an action oriented roguelike. The length of the game, the graphics, the sound, appear to be on par across platforms, but asking the same price across those platforms when one version is objectively worse than the others, doesn't sit right with me. I'm sure it's a decent game, but I'll wait for it to go on sale on the eshop because of the objective difference between this and all the other platform versions.

    I'm sorry but I have to disagree on the visuals/performance score. That has to change to 10 out of 20, it's HORRIBLE when there' a lot going on, specially when facing a boss that spawns minions - that's not 30FPS when it comes to Unity, that's "up to 30fps", meaning it floats between lower 20s to 30. Had I known this game was based on unity, I would NOT have purchased it. And if you're expecting 60fps to become a thing, forget it. This is unity after all, the one engine whose ceo is a solid son of a whore who talks trash on developers who care about making a decent game and not a cash grab in 2022.

    Seems like people have liked this game overall including myself and for a fairly linear rogue like management sim
    Hybrid I’m loving it. I have PLENTY of unending Rogue Like games that I’ve played for hundreds of hours. One I could be done with in 15-20 hours (until DLC) is a nice pallet cleanser. I just want to know what the devs have planned in the Roadmap option on the Home Screen. On a tangent it’s nice they give you 3 save files; just like Isaac but not all games or Rogue Likes give multiple files. I love this game though it won’t be in my top 5 this year it will be in the top 10 or 15 for sure. Great game. If on the fence wait for a sale but if you want to play now I think having the hype of the community playing it along with playing it before the DLC comes out will make it so players appreciate the DLC & Updates (hopefully) whenever they drop.

    Got it on switch because it'll be best played on the go and Steam Decks aren't in Aus yet (and I'll buy it again for sure when they are available). The frame rate isn't great, but I actually kind of think that's part of it's charm on the switch, but I bet it'll be great at 60+ fps too. Probably a little overpriced for what it is, but definitely worth grabbing it on sale - $37.50 AUD, probably worth that, but I think $30-32 would be fair, especially since the switch version doesn't run quite as nice.
