Looks like they didn't. Any update on the Unity travesty?
Status Coocoopuff Nov 10, 2023
Some initial comments:
All the subsystems are very messy
Attacking and movement are not tight.
Maps are too noisy and difficult to keep track of enemies and bullets (foreground gets in the way, weird zooming)
Combat feels very bare bones
Presentation is super cute but underlying themes and gameplay is really dark
Base difficulty feels too easy

About 12 hours into Cult of the Lamb. Just a bit past the main game. Definitely not as "hardcore" of a roguelike as some(so far), but man does it have charm.

Plus, the gameplay loop of managing your cult and then doing a run really does a nice job of keeping things fresh. I also really like that it has difficulty, knowing that there would be interest in the game from non-roguelike typical players. My girlfriend is far from a "hardcore gamer", but she has also been obsessed with this game. Highly recommended!

Who is your favorite character of a video game released on 2022?
Mine is The Lamb
I usually gravitate to character with a lot of depth and background, who give me complicated feelings or just really sexy. But this year.... Just look at that thing! It's adorable! As I said on my list of favorite games of the year, I just can't resist the mix of cute and macabre and the compromises you need to make to be sure your cult is succesful and self-sustaining can be pretty harsh. Its also extremely powerful, shows a lot of agency at the end of the game and can marry whoever they want. What's not to love?
So, I told you mine. Who is you favorite video game character of the year?

Just ordered the physical edition on switch 😊. Seems like a must play for someone like me, with issues due to a religious background (that I have left far, far behind) and experience with a cult. The binding of Isaac was kind of therapeutic for me, being able to laugh at the absurdity it portrays, that I’ve been exposed to …

Seems like a must play for someone like me, with issues due to a religious background (that I have left far, far behind) and experience with a cult. The binding of Isaac was kind of therapeutic for me, being able to laugh at the absurdity it portrays, that I’ve been exposed to in my youth. I hope this game provides the same experience.

I've been stuck for days on the third boss fight because the dungeon gives me slow weapons (hammers, axes) at the beginning every single time and the combat is so fast-paced and bullet-hell based that unless I am lucky and find another faster weapon, reaching the boss with a slow weapon makes the battle downright unwinnable. You can't have a …
I've been stuck for days on the third boss fight because the dungeon gives me slow weapons (hammers, axes) at the beginning every single time and the combat is so fast-paced and bullet-hell based that unless I am lucky and find another faster weapon, reaching the boss with a slow weapon makes the battle downright unwinnable. You can't have a boss that fires bullets everywhere like a freaking uzi while spawning at thousand enemies and intend me to use a weapon that needs you to stay still for two seconds.
To all the game developers out there: not every game needs to be a randomized roguelike. Be the change the world needs.

While I'm enjoying the game so far, my main complaint is that the cultists are just pieces of cardboard with names, there's no identity nor personality to them. If I'm on a dungeon and a message of "X died from old age!" pops up I'm like "...who? Oh, okay". There's no real incentive to like them, I would like it …

If I'm on a dungeon and a message of "X died from old age!" pops up I'm like "...who? Oh, okay". There's no real incentive to like them, I would like it more with some kind of personality system a la Animal Crossing so they all least feel alive.

I wrote a guide to getting all the Followers forms, including the secret ones, and unlock the 'Full Flock' achievement.
Its in spanish, but I hope you found it useful. You can find it in GamerFocus.

I need wood for a ritual, but I ran out of wood and trees,so I decided to go back into the dungeon to get some wood.
But I can't go back into the dungeon until I do the ritual. The ritual that I need wood for.

So I spend way too much time grinding divine inspiration so I could unlock the building that gives you wood.
A building that requires wood to construct.
Yeaaaah, not the brightest of starts here.
