Even the basic balanced alternation between boss slaying expeditions and tending your sheep will provide hours of fun, maybe even dozens of hours. And there are even more things to do in the game, including mini-games like fishing or playing backgammon. [Issue#321]
Cult of the Lamb is a masterpiece of an action roguelike game. It's fun, engaging, has a beautiful but brutal aesthetic, and is absolutely worth a playthrough. It's missing some replayability in my eyes, but it's overall a stellar title.

Cult of the Lamb is an excellent genre mix with lots of black humour, a
challenging layout and delightful combat. Highly addictive.
While it lasted, Cult of the Lamb was a darkly enlightening experience that wholly delivers on the premise of its cutesy horror genre-mash-up. For the many who have been eagerly anticipating its release, that faith has been rewarded.
I really can’t give enough praise to the team at Massive Monster for creating something unique and memorable, and also one of the best indie games I’ve played in a long time. Sure, there's a few rough edges, but this charmingly bloodthirsty lamb that's hell-bent on slaying the unbaalievers has earned a special place in my heart.
Cult of the Lamb is both wicked and wonderful, with a lovely visual aesthetic to boot. Underneath its adorable veneer lies a game that is full of sinister surprises. As someone who doesn’t particularly prefer roguelikes, Cult of the Lamb’s innovative genre-splicing has made me a convert. I am eager to see what additional post-launch content Massive Monsters has planned.
Massive Monster’s Cult of the Lamb plays like an inventory of half-understood mechanics from other games.
Cute as HELL yet soo sinister, and I love it This game is beyond brutal and cute at the same time with all the rituals, sacrifices, torture, and the cute art style of this demon lamb. Funny as well.I would recommend this game if you are into action roguelike or sim/farming!

Based on my humble experience I think Cult of the Lamb is a really good game, with an interesting plot and very funny characters. The violence and the gore elements are very smart covered by the cuteness of characters and their cartoonish behavior. The gameplay is enjoyable and maybe the best feature of Cult of the Lamb, with an explicit tutorial which helps the player to easily learn the game mechanics. Also i find that the game story it's an excellent satire about religious fanaticism. The main protagonist of the game is The Lamb which feels more like an avatar than a main character, while the NPCs are more fun to watch their daily activities and different funny reactions based on their personal emotions. I can't say there is a really bad section in entire game. Maybe only few weak points, such as Save options which sadly are limited to an autosave only. You are unable to make a manual save point or to load a previous game save. As a conclusion that is my score for each section of the game: Gameplay 5/5; Story: 4/5; Characters: 3.9/5; Video: 3.2/5; Audio: 3/5; User Interface: 2.9/5. Overall I highly recommend to play Cult of the Lamb.

Very weird and unsettling at first, but in all not much interesting about this rogue-like that is overshadowed by others in the genre.
