Cult-Crawler "Worship" Unveils Devilish Gameplay Guide
And in that wonderfully exciting way, the next game for the roguelike genre has just dropped a tantalizing gameplay overview of "Worship," a quick crash course in dark arts for all aspiring cult leaders. This Pikmin-inspired title, by Chasing Rats Games puts players in the robes of a cultist, tasking them with building a devoted following and ultimately bringing about the end of the world.
Rituals and Disciples
The game's core revolves around managing and expanding your cult. Players must convert unsuspecting individuals into loyal followers, using them to spread influence and gain power. The larger the cult, the more formidable it becomes in adversity.
Blood Magic and Combat
"Worship" introduces a different type of blood magic. Cultists can perform powerful rituals by spilling their blood or sacrificing their minions, but such gameplay requires players to sustain health by finding it somewhere in the world.
Combat involves commanding followers to attack enemies as you invoke dark, eldritch powers. As players explore, they will unlock even more powerful rituals to squish non-believers and please their deity.
Base Building and Progression
It shows a haven where cultists retreat to regain health, make offerings, and upgrade their arsenal. The catalyst system lets players unlock new abilities and rituals divided into different upgrade paths.
Tests of Faith
As cultists grow in power, they'll face unique trials their god offers. Completing these challenges brings them closer to their greater goal: starting the apocalypse.
With its stylized visuals and great use of dark humor, "Worship" promises a unique blend of strategy, action, and roguelike elements. It's supposed to launch both for PC and consoles, allowing for single-player gameplay and up to four-player co-op mode for the most genuinely chaotic cult experience.
