Cult of the Lamb

Cult of the Lamb expertly balances two genres—the action roguelike and the management sim—with aplomb. You, as the last living lamb in the game’s canon, are the figurehead of a cult of anthropomorphic animals (think: Animal Crossing by way of Hot Topic). For half the game, you tend to the other animals’ needs, constructing shelters, cooking meals, and warding off illness. For the other half, you plunder procedurally generated dungeons, using randomized weapons to fight occult-themed enemies. It’s all in the service of growing your cult, and killing the old gods who forced you into this mess in the first place.
