Cult of the Lamb: 5 Ideas For New Content

Cult of the Lamb has seen great success since its launch. It’s no shock that this amalgamation of Animal Crossing’s group constructing and The Binding of Isaac’s roguelike dungeon crawling could be a essential and business success. In truth, according to SteamCharts, the sport has acquired a mean of 40,000 gamers simply since its launch on August 11. It additionally has a fairly excessive metacritic (and audience) score.

So, now all eyes are on Massive Monster and Devolver Digital to find out what’s subsequent for the Lamb. We have affirmation that the dev workforce is planning new content material, however how that new content material will manifest is unclear. It’s in that sentiment that we’d wish to brainstorm on some concepts that we’d love to see turn out to be actuality. These concepts are restricted by the scale and scope of the sport up to now. But, listed below are some ideas for Cult of the Lamb DLC, now that we’ve performed the sport, start-to-finish.

1. Holiday Updates

I feel this concept writes itself. In our Cult of the Lamb overview, I discussed that the aesthetic jogs my memory of the Christmas Critters episode of South Park. Imagine getting into your cult to search out that Christmas décor has been added to the partitions and buildings. Or — should you’re extra a fan of the spoopy season, what if your whole followers dressed up as totally different animals for Halloween?

I’m principally asking for Cult of the Lamb to lean extra into Animal Crossing, besides much less Zipper. But, then again, Zipper was terrifying, so they could slot in simply effective within the Lands of the Old Faith.

2. Multiplayer Co-Op or PvP

One characteristic that might be actually attention-grabbing — if carried out correctly — is multiplayer. I imply, certain; every cult is constructed utilizing the identical belongings, however it will nonetheless be cool to go to pals’ cults and see how their persona shines via that limitation. This may very well be carried out in two methods:

1. Co-Op; Animal Crossing: New Horizons fashion
2. PvP; every other on-line multiplayer recreation fashion

In the Co-Op idea, maybe you might go to pals’ cults, work together with their followers and contribute to their providing field. You may additionally sit in on a sermon, and maybe you being there would give them extra loyalty for causes. Or, it may manifest as in Elden Ring the place you may be part of pals on a campaign and assist them with significantly robust enemies. I feel that is begging to be a factor, actually.

But additionally, there may very well be a particular mode the place — enjoying into the entire false prophet idea — you and a buddy may go head-to-head to determine who the true cult chief is. I think about it may very well be like a campaign, however you begin at totally different ends, however as quickly as you’re each in the identical room, you battle to the loss of life. It would remind me considerably of Nidhogg’s gameplay, solely it’d be top-down somewhat than side-scrolling.

3. New Story Content?

I feel this may very well be essentially the most possible chance. What if there have been challengers to the Red Throne now that the Lamb has claimed it? Or — we all know that mini-bosses (and The One Who Waits) remodel into critters after they’re defeated, however what if the other had been to occur? Imagine being pressured to decide on followers to remodel into mini-bosses, and having to then take them down. I feel this might presumably be saved for a possible sequel, but when they don’t need to make a second recreation, this may very well be a legitimate replace!

4. Boss Rush / More Difficult Post-Game?

I’m conscious that the sport comes pre-packaged with the choice to re-fight Bishops. But, they’re not likely a lot of a problem within the post-game. It is likely to be cool in the event that they had been to buff the rematches, making them a bit tougher, or possibly even simply making the mini-bosses a bit extra of an impediment to beat. I might additionally like the choice of difficult The One Who Waits to a rematch, as you may’t try this now.

5. More Divine Inspiration Upgrades

By the tip of the sport, chances are high, you’ve already unlocked most objects within the Divine Inspiration menu. I feel it is likely to be cool for them so as to add extra tiers of things that may very well be helpful in constructing your cult. I might like to see them add an improve to the Demon Summoning Circle that permits you to summon 4 or 5 demons at a time. Or, possibly an choice to develop your cult, supplying you with extra room to roam about.
