I'm fucking amazed how many people are still sleeping on Cultic. The bang-for-your-buck in this game is great, and it's just such a fun blend of frenetic shooting and actually decent tense horror moments. And hell, any FPS with a flamethrower that isn't just good but basically the BFG deserves a gold star. It's one of a very few games I've actually *bought* for fence-sitting friends because I think it really deserves it. Guess that puts me in the cult.

Cultic for me joins the ranks of Ionfury, Dusk, Ultrakill and Amid Evil with regards to it's high quality.

The boomer shooter renaissance coughed up as much crap as it has quality, but CULTIC and Ion Fury felt like the biggest breathes of fresh air.

A boomer shooter is a style of game that is strongly focused on simple to perceive yet complex capacity of quick tactics in combat and levels designed to further add to the combat and the pacing. Many mistake it as brainless, but often it's due to the sheer speed those decisions take place are hard for people to register in mind.

My only complaint is the default weapon hotkey, remapped that and was gold. Shotgun is always 3, machine gun on 4 Literally everything else was perfect

I played the demo recently on very hard, and it sure was very hard. I just don't like how enemies can spot an hit you from miles away, since I could barely make them out. I'd have to guess whether something was an object or an enemy at a distance. Maybe all of this is just cause I was playing on very hard.

I wonder if the game is originally in hi-color with a 8-bit color filter on top, or if it was initially made with only 8-bit. Obviously this is their decision of style but i would prefer if it had just a slight bit more color. Then it would look about like Unreal (1998)

Living in rural America is great! There are few (if any) people, but people from more urban areas just come in and treat us like we're a tourist attraction.

Cultists jabbering while I'm lighting them up was one of my favorite parts about it, and I've recently learned there's actually a mod that gives the cultists that same voice pack in Cultic.

Can confirm that living in rural America sucks. Send help.

That very limited colour palette / dithering is atrocious, the direct comparisons to blood in this video make it obvious. He may have gone a little overkill in trying to give it a "retro" look. Is that an adjustable setting in the game, or is it stuck like that?

I really dislike how open the levels are.

i quite like blood, and i enjoy this game but i feel the design of the actual gameplay hinders it’s boomer shooter capability. with the addition of enemies that shoot raycasts from a far range, reloading, cover, (and atleast for me lower ammo), it creates a much slower pace than the majority of boomer shooters

Isn't it more 'Gen X' shooter?
