Cultist Simulator Review

The Cultist Simulator Review examines the esoteric narrative card game from Fallen London's lead writer Alexis Kennedy. This is my first video on a card game, and most likely the last as well.

Expeditions are now fixed to be less grindy, there are new game+ boss enemies, purposes to new multiple headquarters, and a lot more added free stuff since the video.

"There are so many great things about running a cult."

You can tell a lot about a man by how he organizes his Cultist Simulator board

[Red]

“The Wood grows around the walls of the Mansus. As any student of the Histories knows, the Mansus has no walls.”

I got stuck in a loop of constantly trying to sleep away the overwhelming dread, just when I was finally getting over it restlessness would take hold and it would be dread again, back to sleeping it off only to get restless and everything dreadful again.
So just like real life.

"A brick is a guest key anywhere."


Words to live by.

Hot tip: If you click on the empty space where you can put in a card into a verb to do an action, it will highlight cards that can be used for that specific action

[assaultspoon]

You ever notice how Mandalore is never seen in the same room as everyone's favorite African Warlord?

As an early player of Cultist Simulator, you have no idea what a godsend it is that the cards now sorta snap to a grid. You used to have to arrange them manually and if they were just slightly too close to one another your whole organized grid would move and get messed up. Or if a verb finished ticking down and you just auto loot the rewards, they might hide under other cards or push them away.

"Theres a bird and worm option in the menu. It lets you choose between bird and worm. Self explanatory."

[metallicus]

The fucking music from the live action scooby doo movie at 11:47 made me have to pause the video I was laughing so hard

[bismuthcrystal]

Lovecraft was more "tell, because showing is impossible; you would not comprehend the impossible forms", I'd say.

[DrowNemdas]

"Just don't read that one book"
*Shows the book "Funny Cat Names"*
And how.

[Arkangel]

This game suffers the same issue that Sunless Sea has, once you figure out what you need to do its just a matter of grinding to get it.

[MrJears]

"I need a pentagram"
*Draws a star of David
"Nailed it!"

That one had me laughing. Almost didn't realize you used the wrong star.

[rankygo]

Oh so it's just like Duel Monsters

[MrDrCthulhu]

I remember buying this game on release, sitting enraptured at it for around 6 or 8 hours straight, hitting a brick wall, going into a mad frenzy, and then never touching it again for many months.

I think it's time to revisit it. Thank you so much for the review!

11:35 "Where's the cursed object?"
[uses Limbo of the Lost]
Beautiful [sheds a tear]

[zellarcher]

"I've never summoned a demon before" Ahhhh I get to see Mandalore summon his first demon. They grow up so fast. :')

[celebalert]

That scooby doo movie ritual music omggg
