The right kind of nasty.
, an ambitious spiritual successor from solo indie developer Jasozz Games, launching today into early access. Despite being only part of a planned whole, what you can play of Cultic right now is a juicy budget-priced slice of halloweeny FPS fun.trying to be Blood. You are a gunslinger risen from the grave to get revenge on the cultist army that offed you and seemingly half the county’s population to fuel their rituals.
While this is immediately familiar retro FPS stuff, Cultic does mix things up. Its levels are long, containing claustrophobic carnage closets and larger outdoors battlefields for sniper-range combat, scouting and flanking tactics. The hefty arsenal of 1950s-esque guns feel grimy, noisy and impactful, and secret areas often hold upgrade parts that can be used to add up to four perks to each gun.
There’s also a survival mode with three maps and a smart gimmick. You fight waves of enemies in arenas, collecting resources and money to buy gear between waves. The game ends on death or when the clock runs out, encouraging frantic, reckless play to clear waves as fast as possible. It’s good fun and the time pressure makes it feel distinct from the campaign. Considering the low price, the campaign is meaty enough, and survival is a tasty side dish.
