I'm considering buying this next week. Has anyone here tried it yet?

[–] batmaniam@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

No but it's got a demo for free

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 6 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

It's a ripoff of Worshippers of Cthulhu, in my opinion. I'm astonished they're releasing both games at practically the same time.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The title is a typo. The link goes to the page for Worshippers of Cthulhu and that is the game I am asking about.

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

It was most definitely a typo.

Although it would be funny if someone tried to release a D-grade game called Worshippers of Cthulhum at the same time.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, now that you fixed the typo my joke is even less obvious.

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

My apologies, at least I sort of got your joke (indirectly). :)

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly it would not surprise me. I had to double check.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

So you're saying Worshippers of Cthulu is a ripoff of... Worshippers of Cthulu?

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

How is it compared to Cult of Lamb?

[–] False@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's an Anno reskin, but a fairly good one

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

This is genius! A citybuilder as a lovecraft cultist? How has nobody thought of this before?

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

where you play the bad guys

So we get to play as HP Lovecraft?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, I love Lovecraftian stuff, but that dude was a huge racist... Might be deliberate that you can't play as him.

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't this is possible.

You should drop the developers an email with this idea. :)

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Nah, I don't really think I want to play a Nazi simulator. Besides, there's already something akin to that out there. It's Call Of Duty.

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Wishlisted and following with great interest.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"Lovercraftian" is a fun typo. I'm imagining developing a casual fwb relationship with Azathoth. Taking Cthulhu for a long walk on the beaches around R'lyeh...

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Haha, just noticed this! 😅

[–] lemba@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 3 weeks ago

They (Crazy Goat Games) just c&p and replaced the assets of their own game Republic of Pirates...
