Rogue-like strategy-based progressive SIM game

Cultist Simulator is a unique sort of role-playing game that mixes elements of your typical card and roguelike titles. In this indie game from Weather Factory, players will be able to dive into a 1920s setting that revolves around hidden gods and secret histories.

Developed by the team behind Sunless Sea, Cultist Simulator is unique in the fact that there are no preliminary instructions. Therefore, players will have to gain knowledge and experience as they advance. The main goal is to become more powerful by summoning gods, crafting spells, and feeding upon the energy of loyal disciples. 

Narrative-driven card game

At the beginning of Cultist Simulator, players are presented with a series of cards. Each of these cards describes certain rituals or unlocks a specific power. The cards themselves can be used in combination with one another to gain experience and progress through the open-world storyline. Remember to keep in mind that each choice that the player makes will ultimately impact the direction of the narrative.

However, mastering this RPG card game will take a fair amount of time, and not all decisions will result in positive outcomes. This makes it suitable for players who enjoy a challenge alongside the ability to slowly unlock hidden mysteries. In terms of how to modify future strategies, even failures will provide users with valuable insight that will allow them to better strategize for the next round.

Players should note that there is no real or proper ending for this game. Thus, the game can be played and replayed with entirely different outcomes that present more details to this lore-rich title. There is approximately 40 hours’ worth of gameplay for you to explore and unravel. This sense of explorative freedom reflects its open-world nature and ultimately serves to define the overall playing experience.

A progressive roguelike platform

Cultist Simulator boasts the same element of mystery associated with similar bundles like Hades. However, the use of cards as a means of progression adds an entirely unique touch to what players can expect to enjoy. Noir-styled backgrounds and top-down gameplay round out what this bundle has in store. However, navigating the game can be tricky in the beginning due to the lack of a tutorial or any helpful tips.
