You can set new doctrines, which are a series of 4 choices in a few different categories that let you customize how things like burying a dead follower or choosing to eat them instead makes your still living followers feel. A lot of it is done through your interactions inside the temple. Every action can have positive or negative consequences for your follower’s faith and keeping it as high as possible is a rather easy but never-ending balancing act. This all ties into the faith system, which is one of the main things you’ll focus on.
We’ll cover the combat in a bit because there is so much more to talk about with just the commune and surrounding few areas you can visit.Įvery follower has a few randomly generated traits such as being a skeptic or getting afraid when someone dies. This will unlock new weapons, spells, and give you general damage upgrades over time as you work your way through the game’s 4 main environments. Every day you can call a sermon inside your temple in which you get yet another currency depending on how many followers you have and what their loyalty levels are. The power ramp for your character comes through all of these various leveling processes as well. Keeping up with the commune is a lot of work to start, but slowly over time, you’ll unlock various buildings that make things like cleaning up your follower’s poop after you cook for them an automated one. The first of these is your temple, and to build it you’ll need stone and wood which you can find both within your commune or during the roguelike runs you’ll go on. Once that meter ticks to 100% you get “divine inspiration” which is an unlock tree for every major building you can fill up your commune with. Followers can pray here to give you devotion. The main pillar of your commune is the idol, of yourself of course, in the middle. There are a lot of meters to raise but they are introduced slowly and clearly enough that it never felt overwhelming. It’s a clever system that makes every single thing you do have purpose. Everything is powered by your followers, and you will need to feed them, provide proper shelter, and do everything possible to make them happy so that you can gain their faith and devotion. After you name your commune, mine was the Cult of the Cabesa of course, you are introduced to the first few mechanics of this community sim. After your death and resurrection at the hands of the seeming lord of the underworld, you begin your quest. You start out on the wrong end of the former and are brought back seeking the latter. The Hills, Like LambsĬult of the Lamb is a game about sacrifice and power. Tight controls, gorgeous visuals, excellent music, and a ton of variety all combine together to make something truly special. You are the lamb and after getting sacrificed by a wicked cult you are resurrected to enact vengeance upon those who wronged you. It is the biggest surprise of the year and has immediately jumped up near the top of my favorite games released in 2022.
It’s a combination of Binding of Isaac style roguelike runs and one of the funniest and most satisfying community sim builders that I’ve ever played.
