Cult of the Lamb: Heretic Edition

About the game

In Cult of the Lamb the protagonist is a possessed lamb whose life was spared by an ominous stranger. The debt is repaid by gathering devoted followers: the lamb establishes a cult in a land of false prophets and sets out into diverse, mysterious regions to assemble a community of woodland worshippers and spread its Word as the one true faith. The Unholy Alliance expansion brings in a second playable figure, the Goat, summoned by blood and born in corruption. This ally accompanies the Lamb in local co-op, and the pair crusade through dungeons, slay heretics, build their settlement and accumulate power together. The whole campaign is available to two players, and familiar minigames such as fishing and knucklebones now offer two-player twists. Alongside co-op, the expansion introduces fresh tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, follower traits and follower quests, while those playing alone gain a heap of new powers and abilities.

The Cult of the Lamb: Heretic Edition includes the base game for PS4™/PS5™ along with the Cultist Pack and Heretic Pack. These two packs are what it adds beyond the standard edition. It suits those who want additional content for the game alongside the base version.

Description from PS Store

Summoned by blood and born in corruption, this wicked new ally can join the holy Lamb in local co-op. Crusade through dungeons, slay heretics, build your cult, and seek new powers together. But there’s more. As well as the addition of co-op play, the Unholy Alliance expansion also adds new tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, follower traits, follower quests, and other secrets to discover! Double trouble Experience the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign in local co-op, with one player inhabiting the role of the Lamb and the other taking on the mantle of the Goat.

Cult of personality Unholy Alliance adds a huge number of new follower traits, making your flock more diverse, unpredictable, and charismatic than ever. Cultists can be insomniacs, bust law-breaking friends out of prison, enter a catatonic state after the trauma of a resurrection, or become afflicted with a curse: and that’s just a tiny handful of the quirks you’ll encounter as your cult grows. Power play Take your crusades to the next level with Unholy Alliance’s godlike selection of new relics and tarot cards—some of which have been designed with co-op in mind. The Lamb and the Goat can swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back-to-back, or deal a critical hit if their attacks are in sync. Solo players also get a heap of new powers and abilities to play with. *** Cult of the Lamb casts players in the role of a possessed lamb saved from annihilation by an ominous stranger and must repay their debt by building a loyal following in his name. Start your own cult in a land of false prophets, venturing out into diverse and mysterious regions to build a loyal community of woodland worshippers and spread your Word to become the one true cult.
