Reviews for Cultist Simulator

The game has a pause button, use it often and frequently. There's also a wiki for when you're unsure as to how to proceed. Cultist Simulator is a game best experienced with the mindset of an investigator, an investigator that gathers clues but doesn't dwell on them until they start to form a cohesive whole. Dwelling will result in frustration as to what to do next, and then madness. Go with the flow, wring as much knowledge as you can from the bookstore, and be sure to study your-

So, I'll not spoil anything about the game's mechanics or lore here, but I will say that it's my favorite mobile game. It's pretty tricky to learn (particularly the Exile DLC), and some stuff can be a bit frustrating (such as Dread), but it's very worthwhile in my opinion. It's lore is rich and it's mechanics are pretty decent (if sometimes quite frustrating, especially Exile). Overall, it's a good play, if you're patient and enjoy this kind of eldritch and mysterious feel.

This game has QUITE the learning curve. It doesn't really spell things out for you, and I definitely had to Google things when I was going for specific endings and achievements. But then once you finally figure out the optimal way to achieve the resources you need, the game goes from obtuse to asinine. All that said, I got a TON of play time out of this and couldn't put it down for weeks. Hard to recommend, but also hard NOT to. All I can say is, I've never played anything quite like it.

I enjoy how deep in thought this game can put you. It does show you hints when clicking on an empty space where a card would go. The only negatives is the symbology which can be difficult to grasp. As well as the lack of tutorial. Sink or swim. Overall, very well done, a little adictive and really fun...once you get the hang of it.

Confusing, yet fun and oddly alluring. I got this game off of a recommendation from a friend and the writing is absolutely astonishing. Really had a blast with this one and continue to do so! Though, one gripe I have is the mobile UI can make the game feel a tad cluttered. It's really more a nitpick than anything, as the atmosphere, writing, and sound design are the real meat and potatoes here.

It's not you, it's me. Half the fun of the game is trial and error, success and failure. The lack of a tutorial still makes me want to git gud, but at some point in every game there's a downward spiral where my resources dwindle; my attention wanders as I drag every single card to find the right combination, praying to RNGesus for one unique item that might help. If one likes card and juggling games, this is a pretty cool game to try out. For me, I don't think I'll be finishing this game.

I wish I had discovered this game on PC first. Because I just can't play this game on a phone. I don't recommend playing this game on anything smaller than a tablet. There's just a lot of small parts that you have to constantly rearrange and organize if you want to play this game with a sense of progress without confusion. It's a fine game if you like micro-managing a lot of tiny parts, but that being said, like I said previously, don't play on a phone. I was hoping that I could get a refund for this game because I ended up buying the PC version on GOG after how frustrated I was with this version, but given that this version and the GOG version are published by two different entities, I highly doubt that it's going to happen. Would greatly appreciate if I got that refund. If I don't, then this mobile version will just have been my admission price to the complicated world of Cultist Simulator.

This is a game that feels immensely huge. There is so much to figure out and the first few times you're just so in the dark that whenever you discover a connection or figure out how to do something, it feels very rewarding. I still haven't managed to get a victory but every time you start over you have a little bit more advantage. Very mechanics heavy, the best thing to do is make sure you read every little thing you can on the cards, they give so many hints!

Excellent game. The game is challenging and filled with rich lore, which you will have to piece together to figure out your way through the game. For example, there is a giant snake you must pass but you're told that it will respect the power of the Mother of Ants, so in order to pass you must look through pieces of lore to find one of the text pieces that describes who the Mother of Ants is and what power she holds. But if you're not the type for intense puzzles, there's also an awesome wiki!

I'll admit, I was skeptical at first, spending money. But the game is very enjoyable for a "learn-as-you-go" game. It's very like a solitaire game where although there IS strategy, the random events often spells your downfall. However, as is not clearly defined (maybe, because yes there is a help book, but I'm trying not to read it yet). But there are different roles that greatly effect the cards you get and thus the game play. Overall very good game.
