CULTIC Free Download GAMESPACK.NET I learned it’s a bad idea to play Cultic at night. If you’re freaked out by chainsaws and get the heebie-jeebies from the paranormal, you’re sure to find Cultic a worthwhile fright. It’s a pleasant surprise to get a boomer shooter that leans into the horror element. It’s also a bonus that Cultic is a well-made, original shooter that proves there are still fresh takes on the progressively saturated boomer shooter genre. Brought to you by developer Jasozz Games and publisher 3D Realms, in Cultic, you’ll comb through spooky and cryptic towns filled with cultists and supernatural beasts. Cultic leans heavily into the immersive sim element by creating larger maps with interactable objects and multiple ways to tackle combat situations in the absence of ammo. I’ve been lucky enough to play Cultic several times before this initial release, and each time was progressively more intriguing. The first level opens with the player character waking up in a mass grave. TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

Nearby is an axe — your only weapon at this point — and soon you’ll find yourself trudging through a rural cultist encampment. This first level is rather grounded in reality, so there’s nothing too crazy to fight beside your average cultist. A bit near the end of the first level — both in the demos I played and in this final version — it’s clear Cultic is more than meets the eye. Hanging bodies in a dark, damp cave and a chainsaw-wielding maniac soon follow and brings chills down my spine. Later on, you’ll take on more cultists, but also skeletons, possessed armor, psychokinetic ghosts, and even fleshy horrors. I love it when a shooter gets progressively more creepy or outlandish as you progress. Indeed, from rural towns, you’ll go to a system of mineshafts, to an asylum, and end up in a dig site with many surprises in store. Cultic is exceedingly gritty and creepy with its graphical style.

Difficulty Recommendation

The game’s reliance on hues of browns and greys elicit an ominous atmosphere everywhere you go. An asylum you explore near the second half of Cultic’s campaign lacks a lot of lighting and results in one of the eeriest FPS levels I’ve played this year. The inside of this asylum is a wreck, clearly abandoned for a while. The lack of lighting and old-fashioned, dated interior makes for an unsettling experience. With hints of immersive sim flavor in its level design and general ambiance, it’s no wonder Cultic is so atmospheric — it truly excels in this regard. This is a game made by a solo developer, but nonetheless, I was surprised to find the soundtrack was composed by one person. It’s not often you find a developer talented enough to create every aspect of a game, crafting the gameplay, visuals, and soundtrack. We’ve seen rare talent succeed before in this regard — take, for example, ConcernedApe of Stardew Valley fame — and Jasozz Games achieves a similar result. FreshWomen

It’s hard to describe the feelings the score evokes, but ultimately it’s fitting of the oppressive and bleak theme. Flavors of hopelessness and dread linger in the notes as you explore, yet doesn’t shy away from more intense songs as the action ramps up. A more restrictive arsenal of weapons is used over the often dozen or more guns you might find in a typical boomer shooter. As such, each weapon fits into its own niche, from the rapid-firing, close ranged STEN submachine gun to the long-range FG42 sniper. You’re able to get upgrade parts to enhance the capabilities of your weapons, like adding extra damage, lessening recoil, or sometimes offering an alt-fire mode. Gunplay is crunchy and brutal no gun feels less capable than the other. Immersive sim elements make an appearance in Cultic as well. You’re armed with a kick (something every immersive sim should have) but it doesn’t come in use very often.

Weapons and Upgrading

Nonetheless, if you find yourself without ammo and armed with only your axe, it could come in handy. Various lanterns are used as lighting for darker areas and can be shot to create infernos to set enemies aflame; likewise, you can actually pick these fixtures up and toss them, which is a handy alternative to using precious ammo. There are plenty of breakable boxes and exploding barrels as well, so Cultic feels a bit like a playground. The first level feels like it really leans into the immersive element side of things by giving players opportunities to roll explosive barrels upon enemies from a steep cliff and also has plenty of lanterns, but the more I progressed the less I saw these opportunities. While Cultic is in its full release, this is just the first chapter of planned content, so I hope Jasozz Games adds more opportunities to mess around with objects in the future.

The weakest element in Cultic isn’t the gunplay, but the shortcoming does lead to some unfulfilling moments when fighting enemies. The issue is, the AI in Cultic is rather stupid. There were many instances where AI was stuck running into an object while trying to get me. Many times, AI will walk into a wall instead of leaving a room if I’m on the other side. If they simply left the room and walked down a hallway, they’d be able to reach me. I’m normally forgiving of AI occasionally getting confused, but this is a frequent thing in Cultic and hampers the experience. When everything else is quality work, the seemingly brain-dead AI is all the more evident. Cultic is inspired by various retro shooters but does enough to stand on its own without leaning too much into any particular title. While it may look like Blood is an obvious inspiration, I feel it’s only in a thematic sense rather than the execution.

Enemy Variety and Level Design

At its core, Cultic doesn’t limit itself to a singular gameplay style and encourages players to experiment with how they want to approach a particular combat encounter Most areas are wide enough for you to take your time planning things through and adapting to a strategy you feel is appropriate for that particular section. This usually means you either close in the distance or hang back to avoid damage significantly but risk losing ammunition. Cultic lets you carry dynamite bundles that you can place, throw, and spread around to suit your strategy. I found this mechanic wonderful because it meant I could hoard TNT and drop a bunch of it in a pile, wait for a boss to move towards it, and essentially finish the fight with a single shot. The TNT isn’t exactly a weapon, but rather, a tool that complements your weapons. The game doesn’t punish you for coming up with these tactics, and it’s one of the reasons Cultic stands out.

You can sprint, slide, kick, and jump around like a maniac, allowing for maximum maneuverability. I recommend spamming the slide (crouch+dash) to quickly cover distances and avoid incoming shots as well. The game feels great to play, and the movement mechanics play a big part in how you approach combat. Enemies never overcrowd you, and even sections with a large amount are spread out for you to take your time and pick off each as you please. If you’re a fan of the genre, I highly recommend picking one of the harder difficulties. The “standard” one can be a bit too easy, in my opinion. My playthrough took me around 5 hours, and I imagine it would’ve been a bit longer on harder ones. You’ll still have a fantastic time on Standard, though. Your arsenal grows with each level, and before you know it, you’ll be swapping between your pistol, lever action, shotgun, FG-42, and much more with ease.

Personally, I loved the main pistol, and the mid-century weapon selection is a welcome change to the usual modern weaponry. The lever action lets you headshot enemies in succession, and it’s a great feeling. u can upgrade each weapon, but I doubt you’ll max out every single weapon in a playthrough. The game encourages you to have favorites. By the end, I had split my points so that only 2 of my weapons were fully upgraded. This wasn’t something that became a problem or made me feel underpowered. My main problem with weapons is how there is no audio or visual feedback that you’re out of ammo. Yes, it only takes a second for you to realize you’re out, but a simple sound effect or animation confirmation can improve things substantially. It’s almost a standard practice at this point. You only have the ammo counter at the bottom left of the UI to show you that you’re out, but when you’re in an intense combat encounter, you rely a lot more on what’s happening in front of you.
